Abstract
We show that, whereas a finite map is regular if and only if its automorphism group and monodromy group are isomorphic as abstract groups, for infinite maps this condition is necessary but not sufficient, and we need the stronger condition that they should be isomorphic as permutation groups. We illustrate this with examples of maps based on Grigorchuk's group and the modular group.
