There are few maps of the Central Asian region and most of those are out of date - some even still show the countries as part of the Soviet Union.
This map is of recent issue, up-to-date and easy to read. |
In general good map but it lacks whole area

I bought this map before going to travel to Uzbekistan, West China and Kazakhstan. There are two things I miss, though:
1. There's only very small part of Kazakhstan on it - the area by the very border to Uzbekistan near Toshkent area and Kyrgyzstan. Which means that you will not get the whole picture of how to travel the routes - ex. Urumqi to Almaty and not even the whole route between Almaty and Toshkent. If you don't find these information important, than this map is OK for you.
2. It lacks important part of North-West Uzbekistan. Map ends several miles West of Khiva. If your destiantion is Khiva and towns near then you'll be fine. However, you will not figure out where the road ends by the Kazakh border - you can just get the idea that it's heading there. So, you'll have buy another map here and see for this part of the country.
In general this is good map if you want to cover Turkmenistan, main parts of Uzbekistan, Tadjikistan and Kyrgyzstan. But if you need Kazakhstan and West China - Xinjiang area with road/train connection to these parts, they you'll have to buy extra map or larger scale one which will include these two.
I don't see reason why it wouldn't be easy to include these areas on Central Asia map. For sure map will be bigger then but if you travel between these countries by road, you need that information too.In general good thing about Nelles maps are their information on terrain and interesting spots. |
