This review is from: Mexico City Tourist Map in English by Guia Roji (Map)

First, this map is only marginally better than a free tourist map you can pick up in Mexico City. While there is fair detail of areas surrounding the Zocalo, Chapultepec Park, etc., this map is limited to the central portion of Mexico City. For example, if you need a map so that you can drive to the South Bus Terminal (Tasquena), you will be SOL with this map, as it does not depict that portion of the city. Second, if you need to find a street in the central part of the DF, have fun. The map has no street index, so without an easily identifiable point of reference, you will be searching the whole map for your street. Finally, only 1/2 of one side of the map consists of the Mexico City map. The back lists tourists attractions, and the other half of the front page provides maps with less details for day trips out of Mexico City. This makes looking at the DF map very cumbersome, and I ended up ripping the map in half so that I would only need to struggle with the DF map. Guia Roji maps are plentiful in Mexico City, at roaside newstands, etc. If you can wait to buy a map, buy one there where you will be able to look for one that suits your needs. If you must buy a map in the US, avoid this one, unless you like burning your money.
