ITM 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: Cape Verde Islands presented on an ITMB map both as a group at 1:500,000 and individually at more detailed scales with altitude colouring to show the topography, plus on the reverse an indexed map of Western Africa at 1:3,400,000 extending from the Atlantic coast to Port Harcourt in Nigeria.

On one side is an indexed map presenting the whole Cape Verde Archipelago at 1:500,000 indicating ferry connections between the islands; the map has latitude and longitude lines at 30’ intervals. Adjoining panels present each island separately at a more detailed scale: Santiago at 1:220,000, São Nicolau and São Vicente at 1:200,000, Fogo at 1:180,000, Sãnto Antão at 1:140,000, plus Brava at 1:80,000. Topography is presented by altitude colouring and spot heights, both in feet. The network of primary and selected secondary roads or tracks is shown with driving distances. Symbols indicate various places of interest and facilities. The panels with individual islands have no geographical coordinates. Also included is a street plan of Praia on Santiago highlighting selected hotels, banks, embassies, etc. Accompanying notes provide information on the islands’ history, geography, wildlife, etc.

On the reverse is an indexed map of West Africa extending northwards from the northern coast of the Gulf of Guinea to just above latitude 20ºN, and eastwards from the Atlantic coast to approx 7ºE. Topography is indicated by altitude colouring with graphics for national parks and other protected areas, oasis, etc. The map shows the network of main, secondary and selected other roads and tracks, with driving distances on main routes and locations of border crossings. Railway main lines are included and airports are marked. Symbols indicate various places of interest. The map has latitude and longitude lines at 5º intervals.

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.
