Corsica at 1:180, 000 in a series of double-sided, indexed road maps of French regions from the AA with cartography from the Insitut Géographique National (IGN). Small plans show main streets & principal routes across Calvi, Bastia, Corte, Porto-Vecchio, Ajaccio & Sartène. Cartography is identical to IGN’s own regional series at 1:250, 000, simply enlarged without additional information. Detailed mapping of regional & minor local roads is combined with very clear presentation of motorways & main national routes, showing junction numbers, locations of toll gates or fixed speed cameras, & service or rest areas. The maps indicate access restrictions, unmaintained sections of minor local roads, etc. Intermediate driving distances are marked on main & secondary routes. The maps also show the country’s railway network with stations & local stops. Towns of particular tourist interest are highlighted & a wide range of symbols mark locations of various places of interest, including the country’s cultural heritage, notable natural sights, etc. National & regional parks are prominently marked. Topography is shown by relief shading with colouring & graphics to indicate wooded areas, marshes, salt marshes, dry or wet sand shoreline, etc. Unlike the IGN regional series, the AA maps do not show geographical coordinates. Current edition of this map was published in January 2014.PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING
- COVERAGE BY EACH MAP: the publishers’ series grid shown on our website provides only a very approximate picture how the various titles overlap, since it does not take into account which parts of each sheet are used for street plans & the index. For the exact area please see the coverage image provided with this title. To see the list of all the titles in this series please click on the series link.
