This new edition of the Guyana map places particular emphasis on recent developments in road infrastructure , linked to Brazil 's growing role in the region. The rehabilitation of the road connecting Manaus , on the Amazon, to the Guyanese border (at Bonfim ), as well as the improved connection to Georgetown , are profoundly transforming trade and travel between the two countries.
These works significantly reduce freight transport times and now facilitate north-south travel for passengers , particularly thanks to the opening of a new border bridge . The map incorporates these major changes and provides an up-to-date view of the road network and strategic routes.
The urban plan for Georgetown has also been completely updated to reflect the recent evolution of the capital.
On the reverse side, the regional map has been redesigned: the old map covering the three Guianas has been replaced by a map focusing solely on the two other neighboring countries . At this time, the official name Suriname has been adopted, in accordance with the country's preferred name (instead of Surinam).
