Hello Geoland,

I had a question concerning maps of Georgia, I was in the Geoland store in Tiblisi and Mestia Looking for a large map of the how southern caucasus but i was told that they weren't made yet cause of problems with the manufacture. furthermore they told me I could buy a digital version on they're website but I haven't been able to find it. I know they're are a selections of maps on parts of the caucasus but I would like to find a large one of the whole region.

Greatings,

Friso de Groot
