Hi Stephen,
I've now checked our road atlas, it is the 2011 Gazryn Zurag, but in cyrillic letters. But it seems to have the same errors like the one above (see sample map). We crossed the Zagastayn Davaa (this map shows a perfect track over it) this summer, but it would be impossible on a motorbike or a car. It is only rarely used by horses. You see still sometimes the rest of the old road (perhaps 20 years ago you could cross it - just before Tosontsengel an older man recommended this pass). It was one of our best crossings in Mongolia though, beautiful valley to Arshaant (unfortunatly I have not yet made a trip report for fotos). The sample map has a better drawing, but is pretty the same as our atlas.
BTW the map on the pdf misses the second largest city of Mongolia and the tarmac road (+railway) thereto (Erdenet).
For the russian maps, I think you know where to get them (unfortunately the simplest way to get them downloaded freely closed in december), so the Atlas + those maps are perfect.
Regards
Christian
