Fra ITM: The two small countries squeezed between Ghana on the west and Nigeria on the east developed out of the European colonialization of most of Africa Germany, under Kaiser Bill, was determined to create an empire to rival that of Britain, and seized a portion of the coastline close to the British-held area of Ghana and held on to it until WW1 ended Germany’s colonial aspirations. Britain and France jointly governed Togo briefly, but the territory was ceded to France until independence was granted in the 1960s. Neighbouring Benin (formerly the French colony of Dahomey) was all that the French colonial office could obtain of the rich coastal plain until the German defeat in WW1, which gained it Togo and German Cameroun, further to the east. Both countries have their points of interest, but to this day have little to do with each other. There is one border crossing on the coast, and a couple of others much farther inland, but each country operates on a north-south basis, not an east-west one. The map includes inset maps of Lome, the capital of Togo, and Porto Novo, in Benin, which is now the capital. Togo’s best sites are noted in a red inset box, with a separate box for Benin.

Fra ITM: 3rd Edition Somalia is one of the more itneresting off-the-beaten-path countries. The area around Mogadishu prefers to call itself Somalia, but controls only a portion of the overall country area. Then there is Jubaland, on the Kenyan border, aligned very closely to the former Italian colony boundaries of the same name. Truuly, an amazing juxtaposition of countries within countries! the reverse side of the sheet presents a vey interesting regional perspective of the area between the northern border of Ethiopia, a small portion of Sudan and a reasonable portion of South Sudan, all of Uganda, most of Kenya, all of Djibouti and a fair portion of Eritrea, as well as the former Aden portion of war-torn Yemen. The strategic island of Socotra is in the upper right corner. This is a fascinating regional map, never before published to my knowledge, of an extremely significant part of the world. Think of the following: Socotra guards and controls access to the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, leading to the Suez Canal. What an interesting part of the world! How can anyone not be captivated by such wonderfully exotic names as Hargeysa, Boosaaso, or Kismayyo? Somalia and the region of the Horn remain crucially important to world peace, so this map is important.

Fra ITM: The South Pacific island of New Guinea is divided into two distinct entities. The eastern half is the independent country of Papua New Guinea, with its capital of Port Moresby. It includes several island chains, such as the Bismark Archipelago and the Louisiade Archipelago and is closely associated with Australia, which is immediately to its south. As a result, it is somewhat developed in its infrastructure, although there is no road as yet joining the eastern portion with the central highlands, nor are there any land connections with the western half of the island. This portion is controlled by Indonesia and is known as West Irian (or Irian Jaya), with its major urban area being Sorong, in the far west, with ferry connections to Indonesian islands further to the west. The other major urban area is Jayapura, on the north coast, which also has ferry connections to other parts of Indonesia. Needless to say, the two halves of the island have little to do with each other. Both portions are definitely off-the-beaten-path destinations appealing to adventuresome travellers.

Fra ITM: Mexico is a fascinating country, and as travel re-opens, is proving to be very popular. This most recent edition was recently printed, and is now the current edition. Double sided detailed travel map, with comprehensive place name index. Distinguishes roads ranging from expressways (free/toll) to rural roads. Legend includes railways, tracks, trails, international airports, domestic airports, bridges, border crossing points, points of interest, archaeological sites, beaches, active volcanos, filling stations, national parks, deserts, places of touristic interest. Printed on durable, water-resistant plastic paper, suitable for travelling in areas with extreme humidity. This is another chestnut in the ITMB line, and sells well. The cover picture is new, as is the ISBN. Mexico is a very large and diverse country, and very popular with Americans. Again, there is little one can say that is news about such a tried-and-true map, except to say that it is extremely popular.

Fra ITM: Central America generally remians poplar with visitors. Both Honduras and Nicaragua, which occupy different sides of this sheet, have a lot of attractions to offer. Honduras offers beaches, the wonderful Mayan complex of Copan, lake Yojoa, the colonial heritage of Belen Gualcho, the Valley of Angels, and a city of charm named Gracias A large inset map of Tegucigalpa, the capital, is included. Nicaragua has one of the oldes urban areas in the Western Hemisphere, Granada (1534), the mountains of Matagalpa, quiet fishing villages, pottery works at San Juan, the largest lake in Central America, and touristic islands off the coast. An excellent inset map of Managua, the capital, is included.

Fra ITM: We spent a week on the lovely island of Hispaniola, home to the Dominican Republic and Haiti, last December. We spent several days driving the highways, checking our information and this new edition is the result. Frankly, we were surprised how accurate the digital artwork was (and is); this is the first time that we have been able to ground-truth a map shortly before printing, and after updating. We did discover one new toll highway, and we learned that Santa Domingo floods rather easily during heavy rains. We now show a lot of what I would consider to be local farm roads; they exist, but it is doubtful any tourist would use them. We also discovered a new motorway-like highway that is under construction between Santiago and Puerto Plata, but we are leaving it off the map for now as work has just begun and we saw little indication that it would be completed. We can add it if we see progress. The Haiti side of the sheet remains a work in progress. There are now five border crossings with Dom Rep and a lot of cross-border traffic, but the road network in Haiti remains quite basic. We have added hundreds of small local roads to our artwork; most are simple dirt tracks. We have also added a series of top attractions for Haiti, highlighted in red, and a separate series for Dom Rep. Although this could be considered a significant update.

Fra ITM: This map was called Cayman Islands and Jamaica in its previous edition, which was a well-intentioned attempt to promote the smaller islands adjacent to big brother. Now, we are reverting to what we think is a more logical title arrangement for listing purposes, but the map has two covers, so one can market it as either Jamaica or the Caymans, or best of all, market both! We visited the Caymans a few months ago and drove every road on the main island, including a few that turned out to be driveways! The map is very current as a result. The other side of the map is the very popular touristic island of Jamaica, now into its sixth edition. This island is large enough to justify renting a car and exploring. It is a great way to discover hidden coves and find historic plantations, especially along the touristic north shore. 6th/3rd Ed. 1:250,000/1:37,500

Fra ITM: The State of Alaska is a perennial best-seller. The area is emerging from Covid and tourism is returning. Now is the appropriate time to stock up for those planning a visit in the spring and summer months. Cruises will start operating again in May, and this is the most popular way to reach Alaska from Seattle or Vancouver, while enjoying ports of call along the way. If you do a cruise, make sure that you note the glacier at the northern end of Glacier Bay, which all ships visit. It has retreated to the point where a land mass is visible. That’s Canada. The border was set when the Icefield extended quite a ways further south, and no one realized at that time that there was no land under the ice. Technically, Alaska is now two parts – the peninsula and the mainland! Don’t tell the Americans!

The Atlantic coast of Canada is blessed with some of the earliest European settlement areas in North America. There are three Canadian provinces that have been traditionally called "maritime" - New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. Newfoundland only became part of Canada in 1949, a century after the term Maritimes had become common usage, so is part of Atlantic Canada, but not the Maritime provinces. This double-sided regional map is great for those visiting all three provinces (ITMB also publishes separate maps of each province).

All the roads and towns are shown, as well as parks, camping areas, touristic attractions, and historic sites. The area is rich in history. Last summer, Lan and I took our two grandchildren on a month-long drive across Canada and visited Louisbourg, on Cape Breton, the French fortress that dominated French control of Quebec for many years. We also toured Green Gables, the actual farm made famous by L. M. Montgomery and her fictional Anne Shirley. Roosevelt's beloved estate is on Campobello Island, in New Brunswick. This is one of the most popular regions of North America to visit.

Norway is one of the more interesting countries in Europe for travellers, in that it has wide open spaces and unusual Arctic scenery, particularly in the north. Because it is a rather long and narrow country, trying to portray it adequately on a single sheet results in a lack of scale adequate for showing touristic attractions. This map covers the northern portion of the country, from Trondheim to Nordkapp and from the North Atlantic to the Russian border. It also shows a portion of northern Sweden and a bit of Finland and Russia, but its focus is on roads, rail connections, airports, distance markers, parks, and touristic attractions in the region. Most noticeably, the rail lines leading to Trondheim and north to Bodo are clearly shown. Communities, sometimes fairly small, are included, as are ferries to outlying islands close to the coast.

The reverse side shows the rail line to Narvik coming in from Sweden, and all roads and towns north to the Arctic Ocean and east to the Russian border. Border crossing to Sweden/Finland are not shown, as both countries are part of the EU, but crossings to Russia are shown, albeit closed at the moment.

Fra ITM: Burkina Faso and Niger on a double-sided, indexed map from ITMB, presenting each country separately at 1:1,000,000 1:1,950,000 respectively and accompanied by street plans of Ouagadougou, Bobo-Dioulasso and Niamey. Altitude colouring shows the topography (with bands in feet in Burkina Faso and in metres in Niger). In Burkina Faso the map indicates areas of periodic inundation, whilst in Niger numerous water wells, salt pans, sand dunes and lava fields are also marked. In both countries parks and nature reserves are highlighted.

Road network indicates seasonal roads and shows locations of fuel supplies and border crossings, plus distances on main routes. Airports and aerodromes for small craft are marked; towns are annotated with symbols indicating what facilities can be found there. Each map has latitude and longitude lines (at 1° in Burkina Faso and 2° in Niger), plus a separate index.

Street plans, annotated with names of hotels, various tourist facilities and main buildings cover Ouagadougou (with an enlargement for the town cente), Bobo-Dioulasso and Niamey.

This is a new map for us, combining both the Canadian and the American portions of the Pacific coastline north from the Seattle area to the Alaska Panhandle, ending at the Glacier Bay National Park, which extends considerably north of the Bay itself. Side one concentrates on the Canadian portion, from Victoria north to the Queen Charlotte/Haida Gwaii islands, showing ferry routes and the routes most favoured by cruise ships. As a coastal map, it doesnt go very far inland, but shows the Coastal mountain range to good advantage.

Side two provides a very detailed map of that portion of Alaska known as the Panhandle a series of islands north and west of Canada that is very popular with cruisers. All parks and cruise line routes are shown. Interestingly, at the top end of Glacier Bay, the Canadian border splits the Panhandle from the rest of Alaska; not intentionally, but when the border was agreed upon in the early 1900s, no one realized that the glacier on that site might one day melt. Well, melt it has, leaving a kilometre-long stretch of beach that is part of Canada! Regardless, this map completes ITMB mapping of the Pacific coastline of North America rom the Bering Sea to Panama, a cartographic task that began decades ago.

Zambia, a nice country in central/southern Africa graces one side of the sheet, along with a very large inset map of Lusaka and two others of Livingstone and Victoria Falls (which is actually in Zimbabwe). The other side of the sheet contains a very useful regional map of eastern Africa from Ethiopia/Eritrea south to Eswatini/Swaziland. Madagascar is also included, as well as the Comoro Islands. While both sides are useful, it is the Zambian side that takes precedence. All the roads and towns are shown, as well as parks, safari lodges, and points of interest. It is possible, though not advisable, to travel to Zimbabwe via either Kariba or Vic Falls, and there is a good crossing into Botswana at Sesheke. Entry to and from Tanzania and Malawi is easy.

Fra ITM: A list of Top Attractions and a regional rail map are included as insets. All the tram lines are shown. The other side is new. Melbourne is located in the State of Victoria, so we have added a detailed map of the state and extended the coverage to include Sydney, Canberra, and Adelaide. Rail lines are shown, although most people travel by car. There is a motorway to Sydney, but almost all others are two-lane tarred. The coastal highway going west is particularly scenic. Australia’s highest mountain is also on this map.

Fra ITM: Florida is one of the most travelled-to parts of the world, and with Orlando in its centre, a map is necessary as well as inevitable. The big attraction, of course, is the Walt Disney World resort area, which is yet another must-see destination. The resort is so large that it requires its own inset map and has eighteen hotels at last count, its own monorail, and too many attractions to note here. Disneyland is for everyone young and old, so enjoy it.

The Philippines has bounced back from the Covid era remarkably quickly. Manila, the capital, has always been under-rated as a touristic destination, but it is the principal access point to the country and has a lot to offer visitors. It is, of course, a huge city, with hotels concentrated south of the Pasig River, adjacent to the historic Intramuros, a former fortress.

The new part of this map is the first-ever travel map of Luzon Island, the principal island of this country of islands., combined with surrounding islands. Americans are particularly drawn to the Bataan Peninsula and the small island of Corregidor as a result of WW2. Tourists are drawn to the beautiful beaches of Palawan and Boracay or to Mayon Volcano, or the rice terraces on Banaue. This is a far more detailed map, due to its scale, than one covering the entire island nation.
