Maps of Mongolia
Get a map of Mongolia was until recently a big problem even in Ulaanbaatar. Today it is possible to buy quite good maps at the airport, or in department stores.
If you are traveling in Mongolia alone by car, definitely go get a good map, but never absolutely rely on it. The maps are quite different to each other and not just in the details. Do not forget to GPS navigation. Without that in Mongolian steppe cannot ride. Especially if you cannot speak Mongolian.
Map of Mongolia will be helpful, even if you rent a car with a driver. Especially if you rent a car with driver in Ulaanbaatar for a longer trip. Although the driver will say, that the planned route knows well. But on the way you will find, that in many places he was only with parents, when he was five years :)
For the journey is definitely better to buy a paper map, this list is rather for orientation, or for travel planning. Some maps of specific areas, however, can be very difficult to hunt. For example, if you decide to travel around the lake Khövsgöl, I recommend you print the map of surroundings of the lake.
I hope that you will find these maps useful and if you are planning to go to Mongolia, I wish you many wonderful experiences. Mongolia will definitely surprise you in many ways, but certainly on the way you will long remember.

Maps of Mongolian regions - the aimags
Mongolia is divided into 21 regions - the aimags. Aimag again divided into smaller administrative units, called sum, in English sometimes "Soum". Each has its specifics and each also worth seeing.

Museums worth seeing are Museum of Nature, where you'll see unique dinosaur skeletons, Museum of Choijin Lama - oracle, which own beautiful Cham masks and certainly Bogdgegen's Winter Palace. Pleasant is also a trip to the Zaisan, Russian monument in the south of Ulaanbaatar.
