Description
Thanks to all the walking research and road surveys carried out by Shirley and Mike Whitehead for their new 'Walk! Madeira' and more recently in 2011 the new 'Shirley Whitehead's Madeira Walks' we have been able to comprehensively update our digital database to produce a new 7th Edition. Road building has continued apace with two new main road tunnels opening in October 2011 but the major changes are in the new roads and upgrading of dirt roads to tarmac lanes linking rural comminities comprising hundreds of kilometres of new tarmac. 7Th Edition includes these many and varied new roads plus the hundreds of updates to walking trails and dirt roads surveyed during Shirley and Mike's research. Scale 1:40,000 2.5cms = 1km. Total printed Map area 152 cms by 60 cms. Map size double-sided 84 cm by 60 cm folded to 23.5cm by 12cm. Roads; Motorway (Via Rapida), major roads, secondary roads, minor roads & tarmacked lanes up-to-date at November 2011 for the new roads and tunnels; including latest road numbering system. Tracks & Trails; Unsurfaced (dirt) roads and walking trails.
Heights; 100 & 50 metre contours, height & trig points in metres, height background colours in 200 metre colour bands. Grid; 1 minute Latitude Longitude grid with WGS84 Datum. Published Walking Routes; 'red dashed line' walking routes 'tracked' onto the map from the latest 'Walk! Madeira' plus the new 'Shirley Whitehead's Madeira Walks' both books researched by Shirley and Mike Whitehead. Madeira Tour & Trail Map 7th Edition has been produced in 'Map-Paper' and 'Super-Durable' versions. If you are just planning a one-off trip to Madeira you might want to save GBP3 by buying the 'Map-Paper' version. Is it worth paying GBP8.99 for the Super-Durable version? Yes, it is. You get the best Madeira map that is waterproof, feels like silk but has incredible strength that will survive rough use for years to come - invest in the best. Still not convinced? Just ask anyone who has used a DWG Super-Durable Map, they'll soon tell you the advantages.
