Europe Railway & Road
Ordinær pris 199,00 krOur Europe Rail Map has proven to be a best-seller, so obviously meets a market demand. This most recent edition updates recent completions of the new fast train network that is gradually transforming transportation of passengers in Europe. Much of this will consist of extensions to lines already in place. We have included the east-west link through London, which is still under construction, but not the future line to Birmingham. In France, the western portion of the line to Caen is open, but not the link to Paris. The Spanish system is mostly in place and Italy is now completed as far south as Salerno. Connecting links between countries is, however, mostly a future hope. The regular rail system is shown in black, and is quite extensive.
For the sake of convenience, the motorway and main road networks of Europe are included, but the strength of this map is its emphasis upon train travel. As an additional feature of this map, we have added a side panel that shows each country s flag, shows where it fits into Europe, what its car decal designation is, its capital, its area, and its population.
Italy: Railway & Road
Ordinær pris 199,00 krEurope Eastern: Railway & Road
Ordinær pris 199,00 krEurope may be small in comparison to Canada, but it is densely populated and difficult to map as a continent while providing detail. Eastern Europe used to be defined as everything behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War, but now it encompasses everything east of Germany and Switzerland, which means that this map covers Italy, Greece and the Balkan countries, the Central European countries of Romania and Hungary and most of Ukraine, Poland and the three Baltic states, and western Russia as far east as Volgograd, as well as much of Turkey. It is a combined road and rail map, showing motorways and major highways, fast-train routes in red and regular services in black. It also shows major cruise line routes, although many have been suspended due to Covid and political situations in Russia and Turkey.
Essentially, this is a map covering a very large area, as are our maps of Western and Central Europe, and our earlier map of Scandinavia. We have tried to make it politically correct, which is difficult considering the Russian occupation of Crimea and the Donetsk region of Ukraine and the on-going controversy over the ‘proper’ name for Macedonia, so we apologize for any errors. For simplicity’s sake, we have named most place names in English, so Roma is Rome and Moscva is Moscow etc. Fortunately, most English place names are the same in the local languages. However, being ITMB, Naples is Napoli, and Florence is Firenze, so don’t be too critical of us; we’re trying to reconcile differing perspectives.
Ukraine & (Crimea)
Ordinær pris 199,00 krUkraine is the largest country in Europe. Russia doesn’t count because it is mostly in Asia and is generally disliked by everyone. At the moment, Ukraine is holding its own against a concerted attack by Russia to decimate it and make it part of Putin’s Russia. Under normal circumstances, no one should be publishing a map of Ukraine in the middle of a devastating war, but surprisingly, it is one of our best-selling maps for Europe and has gone through three editions over the last three years. The reason is not tourism per se, but information, which is needed by policy makers, aid groups, and armchair followers of developing events. It is also interesting to see an evolving pattern of place name changes as Ukraine gets rid of Russian-imposed names. Bakhmut, location of a famous battle a year ago, is a case in point.
All maps, until now, show the old Russian name; only ITMB’s map shows the new Ukrainian name. With each new edition, we find more names that have changed. So, this map is not important for showing road conditions or power lines because such matters are in the hands of the gods of war. This map is essential for everyone because we are all affected by what happens in Ukraine. ITMB is fortunate in having a cartographer whose passion is Ukraine and is always coming up with yet another place that has changed its name, but nobody noticed. We show the country as it should be, with eastern regions and Crimea being a legitimate part of the country.
Europe Western: Railroad & Road
Ordinær pris 199,00 krThis is a new title for ITMB. It focusses on the western half of the European land mass at a much better scale than would be possible for all of Europe. Even at this scale, showing the rail lines and the major roads results in a map with a lot of information on it, but it meets the needs of those travelling around Europe by rail, which is its primary market. It can also be used by those driving, although it would be better for vehicle users to rely on individual country maps.
Side 1 covers the British Isles, the Low Countries, Germany, Denmark, the Czech Republic, most of Poland, and southern Scandinavia. The second side covers the Iberian Peninsula, France, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Austria, Hungary, and the southern portion of Germany. Trains tend to be used by travellers in Europe for longer trips, say from Frankfurt to Rome, and for this reason our new map should find a good market. There has not been enough room on this map to show many touristically important sites, but where room exists, we have added UNESCO World Heritage sites, major churches, and most international airports.
Coverage includes major ferry routes and includes the islands of Majorca, Menorca, Ibiza, Sardinia, Elba, and Corsica, Sicily, and Malta. As the EU evolves, passenger rail service is increasingly becoming a pan-European reality, but German trains running on French lines and Italian trains going north into Austria. This is a timely map; coming out at the beginning of a truly European rail system.
Norway: Oslo, Bergen & South
Ordinær pris 199,00 krThis map represents a major step forward on coverage of southern Norway. The map is now on tear-resistant stone paper and places Oslo and Bergen on one side, allowing us to include a large-scale map of all of southern Norway as far north as Trondheim on the other side. This covers the portion of Norway most visited and includes all the best-known fiords. The back cover also shows a schematic rendition of the 6 metro lines in Oslo, plus the tram network and the commuter rail from the airport into the city.
Albania
Ordinær pris 199,00 krRoad map of Albania with city maps of Vlorë, Berat, Gjirokastër, Tirana, Korcë, Durrës and Shkodër.
Although still underdeveloped, tourism in Albania is amongst the fastest growing in Europe. With its Greek, Roman and Ottoman architecture and its natural beauty, including Mediterranean beaches and the Albanian Alps, this is not at all surprising. The country had a reputation during the Cold War of being rather secretive and unfriendly, but it is the only formerly-communist-run country to have its totalitarian government hold a referendum on future governing systems (in 1992) and respected the will of the people as expressed and arranged for democratic elections. The country has being improving its infrastructure ever since. The cities of Berat, Durres, Gjirokaster, Korce, Shkoder, Tirane (the capital) and Vlore are included as insets for good measure.
Legend includes: roads by classification, international airports, domestic airports, ports, ruins, historic/archeological, hot springs, forts, lighthouses, national parks, world heritages, mountain peaks, spot heights, universities, oil fields, point of interests, beaches, camping sites, churches, viewpoints, mosques, passes, caves, border crossings, mines, hospitals and much more.
Austria: Rail & Road
Ordinær pris 199,00 krAustria is both an ancient country and a modern country. It was a powerful empire prior to the French Revolution (Marie Antoinette was an Austrian princess prior to her marriage to the king of France), and WW1 was strongly influenced by the Austro-Hungarian empire. The aftermath of that war resulted in Austria becoming much diminished in power, but despite WW2, its borders remain much as they were in 1918. That said, today's Austria is a lovely and safe place to visit. 75 years of peaceful neutrality has restored the country to prosperity and the country is loaded with picturesque villages, lovely mountain scenes, historic castles and palaces, wonderful churches, and museums galore.
This map emphasises the rail network that is the best way to travel around the country, but also shows motorways and ordinary highways, parks, scenic attractions, and connections to surrounding countries.
France: South Rail & Bike
Ordinær pris 199,00 krThis is a brand new title for ITMB and an attempt to portray a changing travel landscape in a mapping format. Eco-tourism is a rapidly growing activity, with enormous potential. At the same time, governments are seeking to reduce carbon pollution by encouraging train travel, so ITMB is climbing aboard the movement by publishing a map encouraging train travel while still retaining the road network and noting all the long-distance bike routes in southern France by designated number.
This is, by its scale, a generalized map of that portion of France south of Poitiers or Lyon to the Mediterranean, so is more of a regional map showing biking opportunities than a detailed trail map. Nevertheless, it is an excellent map on waterproof paper showing cycling routes and tertiary roads that are suitable for recreational exploration. Naturally, motorways and main highways are shown as well. Legend Includes: Roads by classification, Rivers and Lakes, National Park, Airports, Points of Interests, Mining, Highways, Main Roads, Zoos, Fishing, , and much more...
The Pyrenees & Andorra
Ordinær pris 199,00 krRoad map Pyrenees and Andorra.
The Pyrenees mountain chain straddling the border between France and Spain on one side, with historic Andorra on other side. As is normal with ITMB maps combining two areas at different scales, the map has two covers, so can be marketed equally well as Andorra or as Pyrenees. Our coverage of Pyrenees goes from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean coastlines Legend includes: roads by classification, international airports, domestic airports, ports, ruins, historic/archeological, hot springs, forts, lighthouses, national parks, world heritages, mountain peaks, spot heights, universities, oil fields, point of interests, beaches, camping sites, churches, viewpoints, mosques, passes, caves, border crossings, mines, hospitals and much more.
Detailed travel map of Andorra shows roads from national highways to unpaved tracks; pedestrian paths and trails; railways; attractions; summits with altitude in meters; settlements; isolated buildings; sports fields; swimming pools; parking; hospitals; scenic vistas; Alpine huts; refuges; mountaineering, climbing, and absailing (cliff descent); Grand Randonee hiking trail; skiing; mountain biking; kayaking; camping; hotels; museums; interesting buildings; tourist information; more. Colour changes show elevations. Index of places. Printed on one side. With city map of Andorra la Vella. Main map scale 1:40,000.
Norway: Spitsbergen & Svalbard & Northern Norway
Ordinær pris 199,00 krDublin & Republic of Ireland
Ordinær pris 199,00 krWe are pleased to present our most recent edition of Dublin, combined with a map of Ireland on the reverse side. The cover notes the Republic of Ireland, which is the focus of attention, but most of Northern Ireland (Belfast area excluded) shows as well. Regardless, one side of the sheet is a detailed map of Dublin, the capital of the Republic and a very popular travel destination.
The coverage goes far beyond the norm, extending from the River Tolka in the north to south of the Grand Canal, and from Phoenix Park in the west as far east as the Dublin Bay. The River Liffey, of course, flows across the centre of the page. Dublin has two rapid-transit tram lines, both of which are prominently shown, as is the city centre, all parks, as many hotels as we could find, shopping areas and restaurants, theatres and educational institutions, embassies, the ferry terminal, and much more.
The Top Attractions are also noted. The other side of the sheet presents a very detailed travel map of the Republic, showing all motorways, highways, and secondary routes, as well as rail lines. Touristic attractions, such as Blarney Castle and the Rock of Cashel are highlighted. This would be an excellent map for those touring the Republic by road.
Great Britain: Scotland - Far North & Islands
Ordinær pris 199,00 krGreat Britain, by its shape, is difficult to map. The population is dense, the road network intense, and the coastline convoluted. A map of the British Isles shows only the major features. Sectional maps of just England, or Just Wales, make little sense, due to the geographic shape of the island kingdom. Scotland also needs more than one map to show its treasures in sufficient detail. ITMB previously issued Scotland Central and South, and now extends its coverage at 1:300,000 to the sparsely-populated highlands and the isolated Western, Orkney, and Shetland island archipelagos that are usually shrunk to Invergarry to John O'Graoats in the North, and from the Western islands of Uist and Lewis to the Moray Firth and Craigellachie in the east.
The second side has to duplicate part of the first side in order to extend the artwork further eastward to include Aberdeen and northward to include the wonderful island chains known collectively as the Shetlands and Orkneys. This map instills a sense of history, of adventure, and of being 'off the beaten path'. It is the Islands and Highlands part of Scorland where Gaelic is still commonly spoken and castles abound, where one can lose oneself traversing single-land roads across barren moors, or enjoy fishing villages such as Ullapool, or re-visit momentous events in history at Culloden. This is the heart of Scotland.
Spain
Ordinær pris 199,00 krSpain is an ancient land full of historic sites dating from Roman times or the Moorish occupation. As a country, it divides naturally into northeastern Catalonia, northwestern Galicia, Central Toledo, and the Mediterranean coastal regions. This map is double-sided, with the portion closer to Portugal on one side and the Mediterranean coast from the French border to Granada on the other side. Spain has invested heavily in road improvements since joining the EU and has enthusiastically embraced rail line improvements in line with the EU’s efforts to wean travellers away from automobiles. This map emphasizes the railway network. The map also includes inset maps for the Canary Islands and the Balearics in the Mediterranean.
Italy: South & Central
Ordinær pris 179,00 krFrance: North Rail & Bike
Ordinær pris 199,00 krNorway
Ordinær pris 199,00 krNorway is one of the most popular countries for visitors in Europe. We spent an interesting time researching this map in Norway, travelling all the way north to Nordkapp, a trip that took a week. We were actually on a cruise ship for much of the travel time. We also discovered a bookstore in Narvik that sells travel maps and obtained valuable research material there. Norway, as a country, is one of the prime travel destinations in the world-lots of wide open spaces, all the mod-cons, and fantastic scenery. Obviously, Nordkapp is a huge attraction, being the most northerly part of Europe one can access, but Norway has lots of other attractions. Roads in Norway tend to be of a very good quality, but are mostly two-laned and winding.
There are coastal ferries joining isolated communities from south to north, and lots of ferries for car crossings of fiords. We took a local ferry from Ålesund into the interior of Stor Fiord. It took all day to make the trip, but it was a great experience, and that's what travel is all about! Bergen is also a very interesting city to visit. Generally, Norway ranks very high as a safe and pleasant travel destination, now enhanced by being printed on durable stone paper.
Alps & Mont Blanc
Ordinær pris 189,00 krPortugal: Lisbon & Portugal
Ordinær pris 199,00 krThe city of Lisbon is one of the most attractive in Europe. It is an ancient city, but most of its architecture dates from the Victorian era. It has a fascinating number of tram lines, and the trams tend to be an experience worth the trip. One graces our cover. There is no cheaper way to explore this city than to climb aboard and let the rails decide your destination!
Coverage extends from the northern and western motorways to the southerly Rio Tejo and the national museum, so shows the city quite comprehensively. Almost half of the map area is of the massive Monsanto Park, one of the largest urban parks in the world. The reverse side is equally important, in that it presents our first-ever map dedicated to showing the charms of the entire country of Portugal. A bit of western Spain is included due to the unevenness of the border, but the map goes from the northernmost tipoff Castelo to the southernmost expanse of the Costa Do Algarve, showing touristic attractions, historic sites, beaches, museums, rail connections, and major parks.
The map is printed on waterproof stone paper, a recent technological innovation that is gradually replacing plastic.
Mediterranean Cruising
Ordinær pris 199,00 krITM har kart over hele verden og de spesialiserer seg på land litt utenfor allfarvei. Beliggenheten til landets nasjonalparker, historiske monumenter, de viktigste veiene o.L. Finner du inkludert i kartene. Samtlige landkart har ofte et bykart over hovedstaden.
Fra ITM: We are very pleased to present our very first cruising map covering the Mediterranean Sea. This is a double-sided map covering the eastern portion on side 1 and the western part on side 2. We were presented with a dilemma in designing this map, in that the shape of the sea is such that to include the straits of Gibraltar and the Dardanelles on the same map, a compromise would be necessary.
As few cruise ships now go to the North African coast, we concentrated on showing only the portion from Morocco to Tunisia so we could show Spain, France, Italy, Greece, the Balkans, and the Eastern Mediterranean, including the Black Sea. Little did we know that war in Europe would impact so intensely on what should be a pleasurable touristic map. Regardless, almost all of the ports of call for cruise ships in 2022 are shown on this map, including those favoured by smaller liners in the Adriatic Sea. We have also included common ferry routes between Italy and Greece and Marseille to Algiers.
