Printing error in star maps in 20th edition Norton's Star Atlas? On the star charts in the back of the book, the green area that represents the Milky Way Galaxy hides the circular representations of the stars.

USA street directory/road maps/atlas? Hi, I'm from Australia and will be doing a road trip through California, Arizona and Nevada. In Australia we have Melways, which is a state wide street directory, showing all roads, highways etc. Am curious to know what the equivalent is in America, especially the 3 states I am visiting. I'm hoping i can purchase just the street directory/road map/road atlas etc instead of purchasing a GPS system as quite honestly they drive me bonkers. Thanks

what happened to the world of warcraft interctive map/ wow atlas? there used to be an interactive map on the world of warcraft website with its own sound track. with this map you could choose a zone and look at all the outposts belonging to either faction and see what was in those outposts such as inns or blacksmiths. the current maps on the WoW site right now are just not convenient for me.
What's a good college major/minor for someone that likes maps? I was wondering if anyone could think of suggestions of a college major/minor or career that would mainly involve maps. I've always enjoyed looking at maps, and an atlas can keep me entertained for hours. I don't want anythink that involves cartography, because i wouldn't be any good at drawing them. Something with GPS would probably be good too. Thank you :)

Are there maps online that will give approximate driving times between locations? I'm going to be driving from North Carolina to Texas. I generally use Google, Yahoo or Mapquest when planning trips, but I was wondering if there are any online maps that will show the approx. driving time between certain points, rather than printing out a bunch of different sets of directions. Maybe something similar to the diriving time map for the US in the front of an atlas.

Anyone know a good website for online maps? Please, if you know of an online map, zoom in and zoom out one tell me.

What is the generic name for maps which depict countries not bydimensions, but by GDP,energy use, etc? You know the kind of thing you might find in the front of some atlases where the US is made to look really tiny because, for example, it has a really low birthrate compared to other less wealthy countries. Topographical maps are maps that show the geeophysical characteristics of land (elevation above sea level, etc). The answer may be 'economic data' maps but I'm sure there's another name for them which may the name of the person who first drew them.
