Need Finland/Lapland road maps/atlas
Hi,
As we plan a trip, including driving from Helsinki to Lapland and touring
this area, I'm looking for a good, detailed (scale approx 1:200,000 or
better) road map or atlas (English preferred).
Where can I buy that map/atlas in Helsinki (after I'll arrive)?
TIA
Michael Badt

At that scale it would be an impossibly large map. But there is a
series of regional maps at 1:200000; it takes nineteen of them to
cover all of Finland, and six to cover Lapland. They're
tri-lingual. Look for the green covers and a large "GT".
The Michelin Scandinavia & Finland map is pretty good at
1:1500000.

That bookstore is worth a visit whether you need maps or not.
It's on the North Esplanad near the west end.
Last summer there was a small map store at the southwest corner
of the Senaatintori (the plaza in front of the Lutheran
cathedral) with a very good selection.
Yhere's a pretty good interactive map at
http://alk.tiehallinto.fi/www2/kartta/kartta.htm ; you could
print out areas of interest.
