5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Map for a Crazy City, August 4, 2005

Shanghai is growing and changing so rapidly you cant tell whats going to be 'in' or 'out' next week. That said, I got the map and guide from Groovy Map and it was really cool. Like most of their series, the map is colorful, simply laid out but detailed enough to be easy to figure out locations and where things are located. The Guide is also well-written and pretty extensive covering lots of the better or in- the-know bars, restaurants and shops. Has Chinese icons too has important when you're not speaking to taxi drivers (just pointing)...

4.0 out of 5 stars Big City Made Simpler, September 14, 2005

Shanghai is not the easiest city to 'get to know' after only 3 days there and especially if you are not a native speaker of Mandarin, but I was lucky enough to find this map and take it with me from my hotel while touring and travelling around. The map is very friendly and makes the navigation of this big busy city much easier. I found my way from hotel to shops and restauarnts and markets using this map and guide all day. The writing style is informal and you will feel like you are getting some good tips from a friend as opposed to a tourist brochure.

1.0 out of 5 stars So out of date!, April 24, 2007

I bought this map last month. I returned from Shanghai yesterday 4/23/07. This map was copyrighted 4/1/05 and I guess the April Fool's joke was on me. Virtually every site for shopping on this map has been torn down or moved or both. Nanjing Road is still there but the fabric market, the Sunday antique market, Xiangxin market have moved and some are too far west to show up on the map. Asking taxi drivers to take you to a walled off construction site confuses them. Some of the old sites have signs directing you to the new location, such as the fabric and clothing market, but for others, you need to consult the concierge at your hotel. This map should not be sold until it is updated. This is a complete ripoff.
