Xpress-Maps Volume 2

Xpress-Maps contains 88 additional maps.  Here is the explanation from the developer of Xpress Maps:

"Following the previous Xpress-Maps area of concentration being the travel destinations of Europeans and North American users, Xpress-Maps 2 is going in the other direction, to the more exotic places on our planet."

  

  

"Many detailed maps of the African, Asian, Australian and South American continent with destinations like Manaus, Alice Springs, Yaxian or Timbuktu (do you know where it is?) and islands like the Seychelles, Galapagos or Madagascar give you the travel bug, sweating Sahara trekkers and wrapped up North Pole visitors now have the fitting maps.

The second emphasis is on the more detailed European maps: Where Xpress-Maps had a map of "France", Xpress-Maps 2 delivers "North", "East" and "South-France". Eastern Europe, which was somewhat underrepresented in Xpress- Maps, has been treated to 8 maps, meaning that journeys to Bulgaria, Russia or Ukraine can now also be illustrated.

Last but not least, we've also considered sailors and seafaring travellers, adding 12 sea charts of all kinds of small and larger seas in the Pacific up to the Agais. Now, cruises across the world seas or sailing the Baltic Sea can be put to film."
