The minute I opened this map I thought to myself:"Can I find maps of other countries made by this excellent company?" The geographical presentation makes everything come alive. Please be advised that city names on this map are not presented in English - but the Hungarian equivalents are similar enough. You won't get lost !

I'm torn. This map is really good, and crams a lot of information onto it. And Central Asia maps are hard to come by, so I should be happy that I have one.

First, the stock that the map is printed on feels a bit flimsy, and I feel that I have to treat it with kid gloves to prevent it from tearing. The second sticking point is that the map is too detailed that it almost makes it unreadable. That's good and bad - it took me a bit to find key cities like Samarkand and Dushanbe but the map has a lot of information and doesn't make for the easiest of reads.

Don't get me wrong, the map is worth buying, but be prepared for information overload.

THE map showed towns and mountain ranges THE border lines where clearly marked
THIS is a excellent map

I just got this map but the map of Kyrgyzstan is almost un-readable. There's way too much color for the mountain. Sure it looks pretty but it is virtually useless you are doing multi-country since the map is not detailed enough.

I have traveled all over this crazy world, from Nazi Germany to impoverished Indian villages to a scary cave where they keep that crazy old knight. And when I travel I like to use maps. Not those fancy nancy Rand McNally pretty boy maps, but a real man's map, a Gizi Map. Because when you're facing the wrath of God in a box nothing else will do.
