This is the best map I have ever used! Out of the dozen travel books that we brought on our trip, this turned out to be the most resourceful and accurate map of them all.

This map is an excellent choice for anyone exploring historic Charleston on foot ! Shows all the highlights that are open to the public. Even the restaurant listings are up to date. Charleston is a very walkable old city, and we took this map everywhere.

This map is helpful when it comes to weeding out the attractions, restaurants, hotels and stores. It makes good suggestions for dining, but there have been additions to some places (such as starbucks) that are not listed on the map. Looks like it should be updated. The map is NOT helpful when leaving downtown Charleston. We actually got lost using this map to find the plantations north of the city. The best approach is to use this map for downtown only, and make sure you visit the Charleston visitors center for more background information and pamphlets.

I just used this map and the "Fromer's Guide" for a trip to Charleston. The map shows everything in the downtown : hotels, restaurants, historic sites, attractions, government buildings, parks, churches, shopping and points of interest, and its compact. I could not ask for a better destination map.

This map appeared on my amazon homepage as a recommendation after I purchased a travel guide to Charleston, SC as a gift for my girlfriend before we took a vacation in Charleston. I bought this map to go along with the book and I have to say that she loved the map! It is very cute and extremely detailed and we found it very useful - we pulled it out, usually while walking down the street, just about every day that we were in Charleston. My girlfriend loves this hand-drawn map so much that she is going to frame it and hang it up in her bedroom! Thanks amazon.

This is the type of amateurish map that is given away by visitor's bureaus or chambers of commerce in most cities. Someone's making money off this minimal effort. It's better than nothing, but we've pulled better maps out of the back of other Charleston guide books.

I bought this before a trip and found I could get free maps easily once I got there. The map is fine and I kept it for a souvenir but I didn't really need to buy it.
