Wall map of the French administrative region of Brittany at 1:250, 000 from the IGN, size 130 x 100cm (51” x 39.5” approx) & encapsulated for durability & for adding customized information by marker pens. An inset presents the division of the region into departments & communes, each shown with its administrative capital. Cartography is the same as in IGN’s folded map of Brittany in their popular Regional Road Maps series of France, with very clear presentation of the road network, including junctions numbers, services & rest area on motorways, driving distances shown from main to selected small local roads, etc. Railway lines are shown with stations, ferry lines are included & local airports/aerodromes are marked. Various places of interest are prominently highlighted. The map also clearly shows departmental numbers & boundaries. Topography is indicated by light relief shading & boundaries of national/natural parks are marked. Unlike the corresponding folded map, this wall map version has no geographical coordinates, no index & no map legend, but all the information is self-explanatory. Current edition of this title was published in spring 2014.LAMINATED & ENCAPSULATED WALL MAPS:- LAMINATED wall maps have a thin layer of plastic usually applied to the printed side only. They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.- ENCAPSULATED wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid & heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof & do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.- PLEASE NOTE: many publishers & retailers often use these two terms interchangeably. Our map titles & descriptions follow the definitions provided above.
