maps for Iran
Hi Bobduro, even at Stanfords in London there is not much choice. I used Reise Know-How, german, 1:1,5 mill. for Iran. Is good for a overall view (big country) but hopeless for smaller roads. Pakistan is also more restricted, the police like to know where you are, don't let you wander, and sometimes escort turists from point to point, so you really only need a large scale map.
You will be very lucky to find any maps at all in most Middle East and Asian countries that I have been, and they may reflect the ruler's wishfull thinking. I have a beauty from Syria that has annexed a large lump of Turkey. Buy what you need in Europe, anything you can pickup along the way is bonus.
Safe travels
Peter, in Oslo
