3.0 out of 5 stars High quality print, colorful and durable, October 19, 2002

This review is from: Dominican Republic Map (Map)

This is an excellent map for travel between major cities, but if you want detail of particular cities: Santo Domingo outside of the touristy Zona Coloniál or say, Higüey or San Pedro de Macorís, forget it. It is a detailed account of the Dominican highway system, but not the map for in-town travel. To its credit, it does have limited street maps of the tourist central cities of Santo Domingo & Puerto Plata, but not of the business / industrial centers of Santiago de los 30 Caballeros, Higüey, La Romana, San Pedro de Macorís, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Durable, Informative Map of the Dominican Republic, July 12, 2003

This review is from: Dominican Republic Map (Map)

Providing a durable and informative travel resource to travelers traveling to/throughout the Dominican Republic is a great map to have when planning a trip to this nation. Foldable and laminated, the map covers the nation's highway system with great detail, and provides the reader with insert maps of the tourist centers of both Santo Domingo and Puerto Plata.

Regarding what other reviews for this map might say, I feel that the publishers did the right thing in covering the country's two major tourist centers, because hardly anyone travels to towns such as Higuey, San Pedro de Marcorix, or Santiago de los Caballeros. These cities are mainly second-tier, residential cities and do not have large scale tourist resorts/hotels such as Punta Cana, Sosua, and Puerto Plata.

Overall, a great, durable map to have for any future journeys to this interesting country.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dominican Republic Laminated Map, January 29, 2007

This review is from: Dominican Republic Laminated Map (Map)

A very nice map, great printing, sturdy lamination and lots of detail but with one major flaw - no lat./long. grid. There is a grid system but as far as I can see no reference to actual lat./long. coordinates. Seems very odd to create such a nice map and overlay a meaningless grid? If you plan to explore DR using your GPS, this is not the map to use.
