Durable, laminated tourist map with street plans and tourist information - one of the many handy-sized Flexi Maps by this publisher, impressive for the amount of information packed in a small format. On the main map, which divides the state into overlapping north and south sections, subtle hill-shading gives an indication of the general relief, with selected altitudes marked. Road detail includes intermediate road distances on main routes, and railways and airports are marked. Unfortunately, the legend provides no road classification information. However an extensive range of symbols denotes points of interest, antiquities, cultural and historical landmarks, natural curiosities, national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, etc. No latitude and longitude lines are marked.
On the reverse are street plans of central Kochi (1:20,000), Thiruvananthapuram (1:17,500) and Alappuzha (1:15,000). These show such features as places of interest, information centres, churches, places of worship, hotels, notable buildings, post offices etc. There is also a general map at 1:4,500,000 of southern India. The maps are indexed for towns, districts, streets and places of interest as appropriate for the scale, and throughout the coverage 27 major attractions are highlighted and provided with brief descriptions. Some general notes for tourists are also included e.g. public transport matters, money, telecommunications, climate & tourist information resources.
