Does anyone have some useful links to online mapping for countries other than the UK (and better quality than Google Maps)?

Here are some I know about:

France: http://www.geoportail.fr/
Iceland: http://atlas.lmi.is/is50v/
Norway: http://www.godtur.no/default.aspx?gui=1&lang=2
NZ: http://www.topomap.co.nz/

but they are not that easy to find by searching!

Couldnt find any either when I looked.

In reply to Mark Bull: Doesn't openstreetmap.org have a lot of contour data?

They do, but it is mostly fairly low resolution stuff from one of the NASA shuttle surveys. Not bad for an overview, but not detailed enough for navigation really.

I can't see any contours on the main http://www.openstreetmap.org site (am I being thick?). They are there on http://www.opencyclemap.org/ but that is lacking a lot of information.

Some poking around led me to http://www.toposm.com/us/ for the US and http://www.wanderreitkarte.de/ which covers a big chunk of Central Europe (including Italy), the Balearics and Portugal.

More italian mapping - http://www.pcn.minambiente.it/viewer/

Select Strumenti to get the basic pan & zoom tools.
Immagini to select what mapping source you want. 1:25000 available amongst others.

Wish I'd found this before, the secret is to search in italian - cartografia escursionistica digitale

In reply to Mark Bull: Grazie, che è impressionante! Ho quasi bruciato una guarnizione.

In reply to Mike_Watson_99: Grazie. Mamma mia! Traduzione di Google non può tenere il passo!

Thanks, George. This URL seems to work for it: http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/site/english/maps/topo/map
Prizewinner for the slowest interface so far!
