sotto "Maps" vi sono alcune interessanti considerazioni relative alle carte russe al 500.000:

>>As the maps are based on aereal and satelite images, they are very accurate in terms of position, but rather difficult to read (apart of the cyrillic script) due to the very dense contour lines, and the use of symbols to mark certain terrain features. There is very little "feel" for the actual encountered terrain. Usually areas marked as sand or dunes prove to be quite easily passable, whereas on the Survey of Egypt only real big dune fields are marked as such. Also many features not recognisable from the air are marked or labelled on pure imagination. Eg. the spring at Arkenu is marked totally incorrectly, and a "fort" symbol is used to mark "Three Castles" )<<
