What's missing (this map was dated 2004):

*Rongai route is not labeled.
*Lemosho route is not even on the map.
*Many camping areas are not labeled or are missing from the map altogether (for example; Fischer, Sheffield, Crater, Forest, Millennium, etc.).
*Some trails shown do not lined up correctly with reference points they are known to pass through (for example; the trail from Kibo Hut to Gilman's Point doesn't pass through Gilman's point on the map).
*Weird mix of elevation reference points and color coding done in 'meters' while adding 100 'foot' contour lines.
*Misinformation about the routes coming from the north (Rongai/Loitokitok) as being dangerous and closed when in fact that are open and safe. Years ago they were dangerous but the situation was resolve some time ago.
*A blurb on the side of the map pushes the Marangu route as the best but its really the worst because of the sheer numbers of people.

I really appreciate the availability of this map. I did notice a few missing notations as mentioned by the previous reviewer. Nonetheless, it's the best Kili map I've been able to find.

This is the best and most up-to-date Kilimanjaro map available. It is very accurate, easy to read, and complete. On my recent Kilimanjaro climb, I ended up giving my copy to our Mountain Guide, who thought it was great! Now I have to order a new one...!
