This map was a big disappointment. Many of the smaller streets are not identified at all, and that's exactly the information that you'll want when you get lost trying to leave the Grand Bazaar, as we did last week. It was also unfortunate that the map did not include even a small picture with an overview of the whole of Istanbul. This is something that even the cheap paper maps at the airport were equipped with. Istanbul has many parts worth visiting beyond Sultanahmet and Taksim, but this map won't help you get there. On the plus side, it was durable, held up well, even when folded up small to fit in my pocket, and if you stick to the major roads and neighborhoods, it's useful for navigation.

While this is a good map to consult predeparture as you read your tour books, the lack of labels for most of the streets will mean you have to look elsewhere for the detail required when actually navigating them. I've had good luck with other Fleximaps but this one leaves much to be desired.

Estremely helpful and east to use, I carried it with me.All major and some minor sights highlighted.

Looking forward to using this handy map as we travel through Istanbul and view the sights. Map came in a very timely fashion.
