£5.99

Double sided, indexed road map on durable, waterproof paper. The cartography combines clear road and tourist detail with relief indicated by contours, altitude tinting, and peak heights. Salt flats and seasonal rivers are also indicated. Road detail distinguishes unsurfaced roads and shows intermediate road distances on many routes and passes in highland regions. Main railways are drawn and airports and airfields are indicated.

A further range of symbols depicts a variety of tourism features and landmarks e.g. various antiquities, places of interest, UNESCO heritage sites, wineries, beaches, viewpoints and nature reserves. National parks and regional boundaries are also marked. Longitude and latitude lines are drawn at 1° intervals. Indexed for place names, wineries, national parks and reserves. The coverage is divided into east and west sections. The map legend is in English only.

This is one of many maps published by Rough Guides under the auspices of the World Mapping Project begun by the German publisher Reise Know-How Verlag. We hold as regular stock all the titles in the Rough Guide edition, and the remaining titles are listed on our website in the original Reise Know-How version.

SAMPLE OF CARTOGRAPHY
NB. Some elements of the cartography, e.g. minor roads and contours, are printed relatively faintly compared with other details such as major roads. Although clearly legible on the map, the lower contrast of these details has made them less obvious on the reproduction of the cartography presented here.
