Author Description

This is the second detailed map of Africa emanating from our continental data base and, at an scale better than Michelin s famous regional map, we feel that this version is a winner. First, it is printed double-sided with the western coastal segment on one side and the eastern half on the other. Second, we have been able to improve the accuracy of the road information enormously at the better scale, and third we are making progress in developing a new series of travel maps for Africa by publishing the first of what we hope will become a new regional map covering Africa from top to bottom, or from Cape to Cairo, as Uncle Cecil used to say. The coverage of this map is from Morocco in the west to the Libyan/Egyptian border and from Senegal and Liberia in the southwest to the Chad/Sudan border in the southeast. This is also the first time that we have included any mapping for Guinea, Liberia, or the Ivory Coast on any of our maps, albeit not at a scale that we feel is appropriate yet! Watch for more titles on Africa later in 2014.
