Commercial source

Thanks for an important addition to SP. When I was preparing to go to Pakistan in '88 the only maps source I could find was Chessler Books. Here's their map index page:

Re: Commercial source

Thanks for the recommendation Eric.
I will add it to the page.

Re: Commercial source

Thanks for the input.
I have no personal experiences with Chessler books, but haven't heard anything bad before the comment in the thread. I will remove it if I hear more negative comments.
A friend bought some antique books there and was very satisfied.

great idea

Thanks for putting up this compilation. I too am a fan of good old paper maps and it is great to have the links collected somewhere.

Re: worth returning

Thanks.
Yes, I'm trying to add anything interesting I come across when looking around.
I hope it'll be a little library within the SP library.

Another great source

You should add this source to your page:

Great web site with official topographic maps (up to 1/25000) and pictures (and other stuffs) of the whole France and within a few months a dynamic 3D view. (from the IGN, National Geographical Institut)

Re: Another great source

Just another great one :
http://www.nztopoonline.linz.govt.nz/

Topo maps (up to 1/12500) of New zealand. Quiet slow but very complete. It's even possible to download map as pdf format.

Japan

Two websites of topographic maps of Japan in Japanese. They use the same data but offer different interfaces:
http://portal.cyberjapan.jp/denshi/index3.html has all scales from total down to 1:2500
http://watchizu.gsi.go.jp/index.html shows only the topographic maps

Re: Japan

Thanks!
Added the info to the page.

A few links' errors

The Map Server link leads to that page after an error message:

The Swiss Geo link gives you that page:
