China has published a full coverage map of the Moon, taken by its second orbiter, Chang'e-2.

Quote
The images were photographed by a charge-coupled device (CCD) stereo camera on the Chang'e-2 from heights of 100 km and 15 km over the lunar surface between October 2010 and May 2011, according to a statement from SASTIND.
