China 1:4 750 000 Gizi (English, French and Chinese Edition)

This is without doubt the best map of China I've owned (and I've owned a few now). All the names are in English/Pinyin: all the names give placenames as a westerner understands them. I have had a map which tells you everything in Chinese/Pinyin - and found it incomprehensible.There is a good index and a mini-map of adminstrative areas. I wouldn't want to try driving with this as my only guide - you'd need something with a bigger scale. And I can't see a date on the map. Given the speed at which roads are currently being built in China one might find the map a bit misleading, as it is difficult to know what black-top one can expect to be in place.
