ITMB expands its coverage of the USA with a detailed map of New York State & New England on a double-sided map at a very detailed scale. The one side covers most of the state & the southern portion of the New England states, along with an inset map of the greater NYC area, the other side covers from Boston & Cape cod to the northern extremes of Maine & west into Vermont, with inset maps of Boston & Boston Region. The reality of mapping the USA is that it is too large a country & too populous to be mapped in detail except by regions. As a sophisticated economy, it has thousands of towns & an intensive road/rail network. Most American mapping companies took the easy route & mapped one state at a time. As some states are relatively small, this resulted in a visitor needing to acquire dozens of maps to cover the extent of their visit. This map is a giant step forward in providing sensible mapping for a great country to visit. ...
