African Distance Chart
 

Anyone know of a distance chart that covers distances between major cities and capitals in Africa?

Ummm. Why?

The weather will also be a significant factor in the time and fuel required to get between places. Not to mention border crossings, wars and police road blocks.

A 'distance table' would probably use teh most direct route - not something most os 'us' want - we want the interesting way of going from A to B. So a distance chart is of little use.

Not sure, but some ITM and Michelin maps may show some mileages/clics. You're going to have maps anyway, I presume.

I've actually had good success Googling "how far from x to x"...and variations thereof.

Michelin maps give miles and kms along marked routes.

Thanks for the beers.

The Michelin African maps show both miles and kms. They also show 'green' shadings for senic roads. Pink shadings are also shown .. but not described in the ledgend .. I assume these are umm dangerous from some view point (at the time the map was made)? The ones I have are 7xx series - 3 maps to cover africa. Think these replace the 9xx series.

I think what the original poster was after was a table - cities along two axis and distances between them within the table. That warok if you are familure with the area as you know what goes between where. If you are not familure those distances could lead to planing errors. Much better with a good map. Even at 3 maps to cover africa they give a much better idea of what is involved in going A to B, unless your going to stick to freeways (that most of africa does not have.
