In Vientiane I came to do a single entry Thai visa. And these maps helped me a lot to orient myself on the spot. Information regarding visa processing, bus schedule and how to get to Vientiane, you can find in my post - Applying for a Thai visa in Laos.

The Vientiane map consists of four parts in decreasing order of scale - the central part of the city, the main part of the city, the entire city, and the entire area as a whole, including neighboring villages.
Each map file is lined with a grid, and each line is labeled. Just like on the globe, you can find the point you need by coordinates on this map. You can download a list of all objects on this map in a text file. The map pointer looks like this: «109 Hospital: IL208», where the first part is the name of the hospital and the second part is its coordinates on the map.
