![]() ![]() I have the entire series, and when I went to buy a replacement, I ended up taping up the old one, because the the classic Michelin "yellow" map, with a scale of 1/200000 (1cm = 2km)is no longer in print. I would be most appreciative of any help you can give me in this matter, which for not only me but plenty of other folks on this site, may be serious indeed. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone know where I can find Michelin maps in the 200 series with 1 cm: 2 km scale still available. I'm hopeful that maybe they are still available in France but I'm worried that the wonderful old maps I have may be the last of their kind. ![]() I've gone on and in hope that I might find that the old maps with larger scale and more detail are still being made so that I might order them but have been unable to find an answer to my quest. What I found were maps of different colors (old-yellow, new-orange), different numbers (old 231, new 513 for Normandy e.g.), different scale (old 1 cm: 2 km, new 1 cm: 2.75 km) and worst of all less detail on the new-small roads no longer included, some towns eliminated, and the underlining of town and place names that appear in the red guide for cross-referencing also eliminated, not to mention the loss of countless symbols showing, for instance, the stray castle here and there. Went to my Barnes and Noble for new ones-and I'm not happy with what seems to have happened in the last 5 years or so. built since I bought them in 2001 and earlier. As I was looking at my wonderful old Michelin maps of these places from previous trips, I realized that they are pretty old, such that I might be missing highways, etc. I will be in the Loire and in Normandy this year. ![]()
