3.0 out of 5 stars It's laminated for a reason, February 7, 2010

This review is from: Lonely Planet Venice City Map (Map)

While this map is very detailed and accuate I discovered the hard way why it's laminated. I was so involved in the winding streets and canals on the map that I didn't pay attention to where I was walking and ended up in the canal. Now while I got soaked and ruined my camera, the lamination on the map protected it. It was easy to wipe it dry and refold (also easy, just like in the description). I give it only 3 stars because of they failure to print a warning label on the product that it can be distracting while walking on narrow sidewalks with water just feet away.
