Collins World Atlases feature the same award winning cartography as Times World Atlases. Cartography type is specified for physical maps, i.e. whether maps are displayed in accordance with variations on mercator, conic or azimuthal systems. Atlases contain a wide range of topical reference maps & country based geographical facts, figures & information. Atlases include time zone information. Atlas cartography is very clear & detailed. A significant amount of information is shown for both topographic features & transport infrastructures, whilst a large quantity of cities & towns are displayed according to population & administrative or national significance. National parks & reserves are demarcated & sites of specific interest are pinpointed on most atlases. On the majority of atlases relief shading is given according to a contour interval scale & spot heights are shown. Maps are presented with lines of latitude & longitude at varying degree intervals, depending on what is most suitable to each page`s cartography, & a letter/number grid combination locates indexed places. * Please note
- each Collins atlas may have different specifications, please see individual descriptions. As a rule of thumb, the more expensive the atlas the more detail it contains.*
