Great Britain: London & Southeast
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: This 5th edition of our London map has undergone an extensive revision, adding more hotels, pubs, and attractions. While it is not practical to show all such buildings on a map, we are hoping to achieve a representative sample. The ‘tube’ or underground lines have also been re-drawn and emphasized. Rail lines are shown from their appropriate rail station outwards. There is one north-south rail line through London, and an east-west line under construction, but we are leaving these off our map until the second line is completed. Also, the overground lines are an increasingly important method of travel around London, and these have been shown where appropriate. The big change on this map, and the reason for its new ISBN, is the enhanced and expanded map on the second side of South East England at 1:300,000 scale. This would be ideal for day trips out of London or for those driving. The western edge of the map is Bath and the northern extreme is either Northampton or Cambridge. The main roads in and out of London are shown, with motorways in blue, A roads in green (un-widened A roads in magenta) and thousands of B roads wend their way to lovely villages and secondary towns. Both sides of the map include our Top Attractions list. The map is printed on high density plastic paper, both for durability and for inclement weather.

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.
Greece
Ordinær pris 199,00 krGreece is one of the most important touristic destinations in the world. We have travelled the country extensively and have undertaken a serious upgrading of information for this edition. As a country, Greece divides naturally into three portions - the area around Athens and the Peloponnese, the far north region centred on Thessalonica, and the marvellous islands scattered around the southern portion of Greece.
This is an overall map, showing the latest road information and noting historic and cultural sites of interest to visitors, including world heritage sites. An inset map of Athens is included, but ITMB's map of the city would be useful for those exploring Athens in detail. We also published an expanded map of the Peloponnese, and another of Crete and Mykonos.
Greece: Crete; Mykonos & Santorini
Ordinær pris 169,00 krThe many islands off the coast of Greece can only be mapped properly a few at a time. Side 1 of this map shows the large island of Crete in good detail, with the relatively nearby island of Mykonos and its adjacent island of Rinia and the island of Santorini, with its adjacent islands of Thirasia and Nea Kameni being shown in great detail. A locality map showing the islands in relation to the rest of Greece is included as an inset. It is our intention to map more islands as time passes, but this depends upon future research trips (we lead a hard life!).
Side 2 of the map is a general map of Greece in relation to its neighbours to the north and east. The Mediterranean is divided into smaller seas, such as the Adriatic along the coast of Croatia, the Ionian to the west of Greece, the Myrtoan to its south and the Aegean to its east. All this area is replete with islands and geopolitical conflicts. As such, this map is useful for showing the region as an entity that links the Balkan states to the eastern Mediterranean.
Italy: Florence & Italy Northeast
Ordinær pris 199,00 krFlorence, or Firenze in Italian, is one of the most fascinating cities on earth. It is a treasure trove of museums, statues, plazas, narrow streets, and expensive stores. Lan and I spent a week here last December, representing Canada at an international convention. We had our artwork ready to go to press, but we wanted one last opportunity to check our data. It proved to be a wise decision. We found many changes that were unrecorded-hotels out of existence, restaurants either closed down or open with new names, many churches closed, and others converted to other uses, two tram lines not shown on other maps, and lots of disruption caused by the advent of Omicron, which seems like it has been here forever instead of just a few months.
The Florence side covers from the fortress north of the main railway station to south of the Bobolini Park and from the Hippodrome east to the Asics Firenze Sports complex, and all at an easy-to-use 1:5,000 scale on waterproof paper. The rapid transit lines, which extend to the airport and the regional bus lines off the map, are clearly shown. Dozens upon dozens of hotels, restaurants, churches, plazas, statures, and important buildings are noted, as well as quite a few grocery stores, bars, electric bike recharging stations, bus stops, museums, theatres, bike routes, and libraries.
This map was exhaustive to research! The reverse side is a map of much of central Italy. We call it the Northeast because it starts in Trieste and follows the northern border to Milan, then goes down to Genoa and on to Pisa, Siena, Perugia, and Viterbo. Motorways are shown in purple, with main roads in red. Top attractions are noted. Thus, one can enjoy Florence and take day trips using the same convenient map!

Ordinær pris 179,00 krKosovo & Western Balkans
Ordinær pris 199,00 krKosovo is the country that shouldn't exist, but does. When Yugoslavia fell to pieces after Tito died, Kosovo was lumped in with Serbia but was very unhappy with being a part of an Eastern Orthodox regime. It broke away, resulting in genocidal fighting until the Americans stepped in and stopped the fighting. The region was then placed under a European Union control in the faint hope that it would merge with Albania, or Montenegro, but it didn't. Relations with Serbia are still quite strained, but Kosovo is still surviving as a mountainous Balkan state. Fought over for centuries by Turks and Serbs, Kosovo is emerging as a small but touristic European country. This is definitely an off-the-beaten-path travel destination!
The second side of the sheet provides an excellent regional coverage for the Western Balkans, essentially Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, and reasonably large tracks of land for Hungary, Albania, and North Macedonia, showing the growing number of wilderness parks being created.
Luxembourg & Eastern Belgium
Ordinær pris 199,00 krLuxembourg is the largest of Europe’s mini-states. We have included the principality on maps of surrounding countries, as most publishers do, but we felt it was time to concentrate on the principality itself and place it into context with its neighbours. Bounded on the west by Belgium, on its east by Germany, and its south by France, Luxembourg has survived for centuries by playing off one large power against another in order to retain its independence. Largely a French-speaking area, Luxembourg is also a strong supporter of the EU. It is a mountainous country, part of the Ardennes region, and close to Bastogne, the focal point of Hitler's last attempt to break the Allies in what is now called the Battle of the Bulge. Bastogne, site of a marvelous WW2 museum, is also on Side 1, as is a portion of Belgium going as far as Mons.
Side 2 concentrates on Belgium east of Brussels, with a small portion of Netherlands included. This includes the Brussels region, Antwerp, Leuven, Liege, and Aachen, with a tiny portion of Germany. Belgium is a larger and more diverse country than many realize. One of the great treasure of eastern Belgium is the cathedral town of Liege, which is known in Flemish as Luik and in German as Luttich, which can make finding it a bit challenging, depending upon whose map one is using, or which road signs one is following!
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.
Netherlands & Amsterdam
Ordinær pris 199,00 krAmsterdam is such a title. The city is one of the major gateways into Europe and the touristic value is very high. The coverage goes from the Rembrandt Park in the west to the harbour in the east, and from the large Volkstuin Park in the north to below Vondels Park in the south. All the tram lines are shown, as well as rail tracks and the Metro lines, hotels, restaurants, museums, and attractions. As a bonus, we have included a list of the city’s top attractions. The reverse side contains a detailed travel map of the Netherlands. By the shape of the country, this includes a portion of northern Belgium as far south as Brussels. Due to the rather densely populated nature of the country, our ability to show historic sites and attractions has been somewhat limited, but we are doing something on this map that I’ve never seen on any other map – showing all the windmills that are so closely related to the Dutch heritage! All the motorways and main highways are shown, of course, and we have included a list of top attractions. The map is printed on waterproof stone paper for durability and is biodegradable.
Norway
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.
