Within the US distances were in miles. Cross the border into Mexico and suddenly it was only Km. I had to wonder if Michelin had thought through completely whom they were making the map for. <g!> Otherwise, NB, it was an excellent map for long distance US work: one of those which does the whole country in 3 maps but gets tiny details right. -- Andrew Stephenson
