PRINTABLE MAP SHEETS The region is divided into 26X36 inch map sheets that can be
downloaded for printing from a 36 inch plotter, or in small parts from a regular
printer. To reproduce the set of 1:250,000 maps sheets, use Micrososft Powerpoint (also possible in Corel Presentations). We provide two maps with hyperlinks to each individual map
sheet. The first map links to previews of each map sheet. These are
specially prepared efficient images that upload quickly, even on a telephone
internet connection. We also provide a preview for the entire region. This
specially treated page allows you to see a clear map of the entire
region with a clearly readable text, uploaded from a regular phone line. The

The file sizes vary from 150 - 450 KB and should be downloadable from a telephone connection. Following the linked maps we provide zip file with a set of maps for each country. At the end of that list is a link to the file that prints an overview of the entire map at a scale of approximately 1:2,800,000..

This is not caused by a poor link, but by a problem in the internet connection, particularly during hours that internet traffic is heavy. The best thing is to try downloading later,
