I had ordered another map but did not receive it so I reordered this one and now am so glad I did. It is great and has all the Gaelic names of the towns and places along with the 'English' version so that I can easily find the places I am looking for. I have an erasable marking pen to trace my route and these map pages are just easy to use and with the spiral binding, it can lay flat anywhere. I do like it!!

We didn't stick to the main roads in Ireland...and this road atlas was invaluable to our travel, ensuring that we were heading in the right direction! We traveled from Dublin north to the Hill of Tara and Newgrange, then south to Waterford, west to Dingle, north to Galway and into smaller cities like Inagh. This map was much more valuable than the one we received from the car rental company and highlighted what type of road we should expect. Definitely recommended if you want to leave the main roads.

The map came in very handy during my road trip in Ireland. We traveled, M, N, R & local roads and found the maps very accurate, down to the twisty, turny bends in the road. The only downside is that the city maps are not very good for in-town navigation, but I highly recommend this book for town to town driving. We ordered a GPS from our rental car company but never ended up using it because the maps were so great in this book.

Comprehensive road atlas of Ireland. We used it over a week in Ireland and found it to be accurate and helpful.

I have just completed a visit to Ireland and this map is the greatest! It fits in your hands, on your lap, is easy to use and does the trick! The spiral binding makes turning the pages easy!SO much better than a big fold out map! It shows you all of the towns/cities along the way and is SO helpful when the signage just isn't there in Ireland! A must have for any car journey!

This atlas of Ireland has all the information you will need for your trip to the beautiful Country of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

We used this for a week-long trip to Ireland. It was not the best choice of maps, and we had a hard time finding our way. We did like that the names were in Gaelic as well as English, and the coverage/transition when going from one page to the next was excellent. It was good for planning a route. But when it came time to actually drive the route, we needed a map that was more "zoomed in" to give more small street detail. We were constantly driving by a small road, wondering "is that what we're supposed to take?" If I had to do it again, I would have rented a GPS from the rental car company.

I bought two atlases for Ireland. The other seems to be slightly better for the road, but this one is far better for the cities. If you're going to get just one, I would recommend this one.
