5.0 out of 5 stars Detailed, durable and easy-to-read, August 18, 2006

This review is from: Iceland 1:425,000 Travel Map (Travel Reference Map) (Map)

This map makes it easy to distinguish major roads from minor ones, which is very important in Iceland because some "major" roads are unpaved and some minor roads are only for four-wheel-drive vehicles. What I liked most about the map was its use of icons along roads to indicate waterfalls, caves, lighthouses, museums, geysers and geothermal features. This made it like a mini-guidebook and ensured that you didn't drive by something interesting without knowing it. In addition to buying this map, I also bought one by Cartographia. After comparing the two maps, I left the Cartographia at home because the ITMB map was so much more detailed and easier to read. Finally, after the two-week trip, I appreciated how durable (to folding and re-folding every which way) and waterproof this map was!

The map was described as waterproof, which maybe it is, but i was expecting something more plastic and durable. This is still a paper map. Otherwise, the map looks great in terms of a resource for traveling around Iceland.

I really like this map. I wanted a good road map to help us circle the island by car in the week that we will be there on vacation. It is large, has excellent detail and even has some hiking trails on it. Major sight-seeing and "must see" attractions are idicated as well. I recommend it.
