Namibia in Africa

Here is a complete, detailed tourist map of Namibia. Each section of the map is formatted to DinA4 to make printing easier. Click on the area of interest to download the section. Printing from the browser will give unsatisfactory results. Rather right-click on the downloaded image, save it as a file, and use your graphics program to print the file. The map sections have been set up in relatively high resolution, so that the printed map will be clear. Good results can be expected on a laser printer, but even better on a good colour printer with at least 300 dpi.
