Clear & attractive road map with street plans of Marrakesh, Agadir, Rabat, & Casablanca. Relief shading & spot heights indicate the topography. Road network is very clearly presented, although lacking some of the information which may be useful in areas such as the High Atlas, e.g. gradients or opening times of mountain passes. Places of interest, including national parks, oasis, etc. are very clearly marked (some of the symbols are not explained in the map legend!). The map has no geographical coordinates.
