Does Mapchart have very many regional maps?

I haven't tried a lot with it, but it seems to have more options than some of the others I've considered. I specifically liked that you can fill in the map with more than one color and create a key.
I hope to use this to differentiate between books by local authors compared to authors from somewhere else. I didn't see specific regions, but it looked like you could create a map of a region, country by country, if that was what you wanted to do. Hope that helps.

Thanks Daisey! I will play with it.

I finally got around to updating my current list for books set in Europe. I hope to add quite a few this year and replace some by American authors with European authors.

I love that -- I am working to add more local authors too.
