It's a a Lada Priora!

Not sure about all the former republics - this one does not include Kazakhstan, Mongolia and the republics south of them, nor Armenia and southern sections of Georgia and Azerbaijan but does include all others including the Baltics. Nor the trackless tundra of very northern central and eastern Siberia.

This road atlas has very good detail, in varying scales 1:800,000 1:1,500,000 1:3,000,000 and some city plans. 277 pages of maps plus a 56 page index! It is as up to date as anything (2008 edition/printing). Quite useable for most planners and travellers - except perhaps the odd "extreme traveller" ;-)

I am returning to UK from here in about 3 weeks time and can bring a few copies back and mail them for (say) GBP12 including UK postage & packing. If anyone wants one please PM me with your details before 8 April.

First come first served - up to my baggage limit!

I have many road maps for Oziexplorer and Mapsource (garmin)
they are sorted by region and take several Gb of disk space
I can either upload them all somewhere to your server, or send DVD by mail.

We must have got lucky then, since ours covered Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tajik, Uzbek and Turkmenistan. Turned out to be incredibly useful.

Capolad, I suggest you PM Mosq. His post is very old and he is unlikely to spot your post unless he just happens to be reading this section - by comparison, if you PM him he will get an email alert.

Enjoy your ride.

hi guys!

for those who emailed me about Garmin maps: I live now 60km from Moscow and all maps are at home in Moscow, on another computer.
But I went home yesterday and uploaded Garmin maps for you.
They are for old Garmins which communicate with MapSource (GPSMAP, 76C, 176C, etc...)

Here's a link: http://mosadventure.ru/tmp/map_garmin.zip
File is approximately 80Mb.

This file contains many litte zip arhives named with numbers: each number is official russian region number, which is printed on every car number plate.
Some of archives are in Russian letters, but when you will unzip them they will be in English.
Quality of maps are good, I give 4 of 5 stars. I used them when travelled here, but I saw that many roads have new paths which are not shown on the map. Can advice you to check needed roads with google maps to be sure they exist.

I hope this will help for your travels across the Russia.
If you will have any questions, feel free to email me to mosqua@Mail.ru or visit my website : MosAdventure.Com site

PS: I live now in village 60km from Moscow. here's a picture of the smoke around our area, forests burn everywhere..

Oh i just travelled this week though that area as i came home to Finland from Mongolia and can say that there was some serious smoke between Yfa-Samara and Moscow. You could see about 1 km to the horizont (maxium) then all was covered to smoke cloud/haze.

Btw i would be interested of Russian maps if you have them in Oziexplorer formats.
