New England at 1:600,000 in a series of waterproof and tear-resistant, indexed regional maps of USA from Reise Know-How s highly acclaimed World Mapping Project, combining detailed presentation of the road network with topographic and tourist information. The map is double-sided to provide the best balance between detailed scale and a convenient size sheet, dividing the region east/west with a very generous overlap between the sides. Coverage on the western side extends from Montreal to New York to include the whole of Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Vermont, extending well into Maine. On the reverse is Maine with the neighbouring areas of the adjoining states.
Maps in this series have altitude colouring with spot heights show to each region s topography, with national parks and other protected areas, as well as American Indian Reservations and restricted entry zones clearly marked. Road network indicates toll roads and scenic routes. Driving distances are shown in miles. Railways and, where appropriate, ferry routes are marked. The maps show both names and boundaries of local counties. Symbols highlight a variety of places of interest, including historical sites, amusement parks, natural features, golf courses and wintersport areas, etc. Each map includes an index of localities and has a latitude and longitude grid (in this title at intervals of 20 ). Map legend includes English.
About the Author:
What is the world mapping project?
The world mapping project is the map series by leading German publisher for individual style travel guides and language guides REISE KNOW-HOW. Starting in 2001 it has grown to one of the most comprehensive map series with over 190 titles covering destinations from Alaska to the Congo, from New Zealand to Lake Baikal and from Java to the Azores.
What is special about world mapping project maps?
World mapping project maps are printed on PolyArt, an almost indestructible plastic paper. The maps are drawn by German and Swiss cartographers to meet the highest standards in accuracy AND usability. Their accuracy and the geographic grid allow to use them together with GPS devices. Large scale maps also offer UTM-Grid. Clear modern layout, contour lines and coloured contour layers as well as easy-to-access touristic information mark the appearance of the maps. Coming in rip-off paper covers, the maps are foldable and fit into every pocket.
Why haven t I heard about the world mapping project if it s so good?
Our main market so far is the German-speaking countries. We are in fact market leader in Germany for Africa, South America and Asia! But our maps can also be found in shops in Spain, Italy, France, Netherlands, USA and elsewhere. We enjoy a fast growing range of customers - including travellers, tour operators, professionals and human aid workers.
My customers usually don t speak German. Will that be a problem?
The covers (incl. the map key) of most maps already feature information in German, English, French and Spanish, and of the newer maps even now in Russian. Information in the map is usually in English and in German or in the language spoken in the country (e.g. Spanish in the Chile map). Readers with some command of English won t miss any important information. Since 2017 we use the English name as main title on the cover of each map.
