I had suspicions you meant image maps, rather than colour maps in your last
message.  The second example I posted, then, should do the trick, or you
could use the Pigment_From and To statements, e.g.:

pigment {
    Pigment_From (0, pigment {image_map {tga "image1" interpolate 2}})
    Pigment_To (1, pigment(image_map {tga "image2" interpolate 2}})
    }
    [...transform to fit your landscape...]
    }

This smoothly shifts from one image map to the other, and the file includes
plenty of options that let you control just how the shifting takes place.
