– This is the first of two sectional maps covering India at an enhanced scale. India is a large country and is increasingly popular with visitors, having a vast array of historic sites, temples, and scenery worth exploring. While our ITM map of India as a country is good value, we felt that the country deserved a more detailed approach as well. This is completely new artwork, not a photo expansion, and provides additional information and better road/rail information than would be possible on a country map; printed double-sided on paper.
