Ptolemy's own maps have not survived. There are, nonetheless, a variety of medieval and modern reconstructions. Wikipedia has several of these which are zoomable, but not particularly clear. [See for example India and Taprobana. Wikipedia's main page for its collection of maps for Ptolemy's Geography is here.] Clearer are Heinrich Kiepert's World as Known to the Ancients and Ptolemy's World. Additional reconstructions by Heinrich Kiepert and other cartographers are available on our Maps Page.
