Ready for their holiday trip to the Caucasus, I found an amazing site to unequivocally name “gone!” It is the Belarusian service, from which you can download topographic maps made by “Soviet cartographic industry” at the end of the Soviet Union.
In brief – have momentum skubańcy!
To spread the only fair and equitable systems around the world – need a map, więc opracowano mapy topograficzne w skalach od 1:50 000 – 1: 1 000 000 almost WHOLE WORLD. There are maps in the system 1942 how the representation of our old military maps (more precisely, the whole Warsaw Pact). The only difference is, that the maps are entirely in the Cyrillic alphabet. There are exceptions, eg: Poland – instead of the Soviet maps are our black and white, which are also circulating for some time on the Internet.
I do not know how it happened, it scans dozens of gigabytes of maps found on the download completely free on the Internet (the only limitation is the time – You can not download too much, not to overload servers – as someone does not want to download can be bought for a few dollars sets of maps for a given area) I do not know, These maps or see the light of day officially, whether it was more dodgy shares, But in a country where nuclear warheads are lost nuclear submarines and everything is possible. On the other hand, the map could be officially made public by the Belarussian law (as well as a collection of vector sets of geographical data for Belarus openstreetmap.org. It is not known, therefore, they look like licenses to these maps…
Apart from formal matters – let's look at the harvest:
White boxes show the area covered by the map. Just click on the area and on the left shows a list of maps at different scales, which is indicated position. After you click on a given map (after the file name can be reached on how the scale) Download dialog box appears. After odczekaniu 20 sec, you can type “code from the image” and start download. Transfer is slow, but patience. Additionally, you can download the file. Maps – thus we do not have maps downloaded georeferencjonować. The site is partly in English, but basic knowledge of Russian is useful. When I drew his maps, several times in spite of well-typed page showed an error code – I do not know what conditions, but after several attempts, everything was ok.
Now it's time for Spice Elements:
Mapa 1:200 000 portion of the Sahara:
Condition for the year 1985 - hmmm… seems to, environment that is dynamic enough to, that the map already 1987 lost heavily on the news :) In spite of everything we watch :)
Mapa 1: 200 000 Siberia (specifically northern Yakutia) – green – muddy spot.
Anyhow should thank the Soviet cartography for the invaluable collection of highly accurate topographic maps, whose validity (late 80 ') for tourist purposes and cognitive-generalno is satisfactory.
Again: URA! URA! Uraaa!
