Summary: Nelles Central Asia Map
Review: A great overview of the region

I like this map because the colors are subtle and the shading shows how very mountainous the region actually is. It helps to understand how the political boundaries came to exist. I also like that the parks, museums, and other things to see are marked directly on the map, so I don't have to hunt for anything in an index.

Summary: Not user-friendly
Review: I am returning this item because:
-Proper names are not spelled in standard English forms (the publisher of this map is in Germany)
-It is difficult to read the map - it is a topographic map, which is unnecessary and makes it difficult to find and read the cities, notes etc. printed in red.

Even if one is familiar with the region it is difficult to find things on this map!
