Where to buy good walking map

I have been using the book "Walks in North Cyprus" which is a very good book, but I would like a more detailed map. I have noticed route markers on walks but seen no reference to them anywhere. Anyone know where to buy such a map, if one is available.
Many Thanks

The tourist offices have some good trail maps for free but only cover certain areas.

There is a set of 16 detailed trail maps of the Kyrenia range. Whilst based on old OS maps the trails haven't changed much. The physical, on the ground, trail markers are changing but again this does not affect the mapping. Pm me with your email and I will send you the maps.

£eagle if I PM you can you send the digital maps to me too? Please, so that I can use them for Kuskor birdwatching conservation activities...

Thank you for the maps.
I will try to get them 'parked' on the internet by tomorrow, and post the URL's on this thread, so that everyone can get access to them without £eagle having to email everyone individually.

You can access the maps
here.
If you hold down a Ctrl (Control) key when you click on the link, then it will open in a fresh Window or 'Tab', and you won't lose your place on the forum.
Once you are in the 'Maps Directory' you can either 'left click' on a file to view the map image, or 'right click' and then choose to save the map to your download folder.
The individual maps are only about a quarter of a MB each, but in order to download all 16 maps, you would need around 5.5 MB of free disk space - or free storage memory on a 'phone or other portable device.

Many Thanks to all. I have the maps from £eagle and called into the Tourist information and picked up a couple of maps there. Shouldn't get lost now!
