Zimbabwe InfoMap

Zimbabwe on a double-side road map from the South African publishers International Motoring Productions with GPS waypoints for selected towns or settlements. The map, one of a series of similar maps covering countries and selected regions of southern Africa, has rather simple cartography with somewhat basic elevation tinting and occasional spot heights. Main rivers (not named) and lakes are marked and protected areas are highlighted.

Roads are classified as national, major, minor, and 4WD tracks and show driving distances on main routes and locations of fuel stations. Border crossings to neighbouring countries indicate opening times. Symbols mark various places of interest.

Some towns or settlements and important road junctions are annotated with GPS waypoints, although far fewer than on the publishers’ similar maps of other southern African countries.

A basic street plan shows central Harare naming mains streets. The map, published in 2005, also includes an “Accommodation and Activities Legend” with an extensive list of symbols for various types of accommodation, sport and recreational facilities, etc, none of which appear on the map itself.
