For touring maps of the USA, the best source is the Adventure Cycling
Association, http://www.adventurecycling.org
They have an entire network of cross-country routes worked out and shown
on very detailed maps, including icons for campgrounds, motels,
groceries, etc etc. We've found the maps to be very good - although the
route profiles (showing the hills) were often inaccurate.
BTW, their "Cyclists' Yellow Pages," a special annual edition of their
monthly magazine, has sources listed state by state, which includes
quite a few state-published bike maps.
And hey, they have international sources too! Here you go:
_Cycling Around Hungary_ frigoria.kiado@axelero.hu or
www.frigoriakiado.hu/eng.html "The main part of the publication is
the five-language 1:250,000 scale map which offers 100 tours all over
Hungary... $17"
_Cicerone Press_ www.cicerone.co.uk Specializes in adventure travel
guides, including bike guides. Titles include: _The Danube Cycle Way_...
_Hungarian Cyclists' Federation_ www.kerosz.hu ... website has links
and recommended bicycle touring maps...
_Hungarian National Tourist Office_ www.gotohungary.com
