Tour Guide Operator Companies and Book and Map Publishers - This is for you:
Publishers please note that the following comments are in no ways
intended to give the impression that the majority of other
publications contain errors, but we do get a constant flow of overseas tourists visiting Namibia
who complain to us about errors on the Maps and Guide Books that
they have recently bought in their home countries. So, I ask you to please
accept the following in the good spirit that is intended.
I will also make the point
here, that we have striven to be as accurate as possible, but we do
accept that we are not infallible. However, I can state that the Maps on this site are
compiled following consultations with the relevant Namibia
authorities for both the country road system and city / town
planning.
Namibia gained its Independence as late as 1990 and it is
an ongoing process in many of our towns that certain streets are being renamed, from
those allocated during the colonial period to those of more suitable
Namibian designation. This process has rendered many of the older town street
maps obsolete. This can cause confusion and inconvenience to the
purchaser, while in Namibia.
We're trying our best to give a meaningful service and the fact
that several of the larger Southern African based tour operator
companies are making use of the Namibia-1on1 group of sites for
information on the various Namibia attractions, Maps, and the
Popular Tour Route Maps with Directions, that we have added to the
Map-of-Namibia site is a positive indication that we are
'on-the-right-track'. It's become a 2-way relationship with
some, as they often kindly email us with regards to particular
developments that have occurred to a particular destination and
advise us to correct or update our information. So, it's an ongoing
process.
There is presently an amount of confusion with some Overland Tour
Operators not being familiar with the legal requirements, as per the
Namibia Tourism Board Act, as to what exactly is required of them to
operate tours while in Namibia. This should be of interest to you...
