Country Maps
Bilkart over Norge
(1:1,000,000) by Nortrabooks is one of the best maps of Norway for gen-
eral travellers. It includes useful topographic shading and depicts the entire country on one
sheet.
Michelin Norway - 752
(1: 1,250,000) is also good, although the last update was in
January 2007 and the font size can be a problem.
