Map of Italy showing Umbria

Problems
1 I can't remember where Umbria is on the map of Italy.
2 I can't pronounce the name.

Answers
1 Umbria is billed as the heart of Italy. What do they mean by the heart? Umbria is about half way down. Also it has no coastline with the sea on the west, nor the sea on the east. Once you know that, you can eliminate two other landlocked shapes, and see that Umbria is indeed 'the heart of Italy'.
2 Umbria with an oom as in zoom. Zoom to Umbria. (Not dumb nor um nor Cumbria.)

Story
I downloaded a map from Wikipedia but the dot for Assisi vanished.

Tip
Find Wikipedia maps for countries, cities. The tourist boards will send free maps of towns.

Start outwards and work inwards. The map of the country first. Then the towns within the area you are visiting in relation to each other. Finally the map of the main town or city or area you are visiting.
