5.0 out of 5 stars Great Single-Page Map!, June 27, 2007

Michelin maps are great maps for touring. We didn't have one when we arrived in Ireland for our first trip. A local recommended we purchase one, and we were very grateful for the tip! The AA atlas of Ireland may have more detail, but, if you want a single-page fold-out map of Ireland (as opposed to a several-page atlas), I highly recommend this one. It has most of the roads (even minor ones) on it, and it shows sites of interest on it as well. Great map!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Map of Ireland, July 20, 2008

By 

Sam "Crocheting Commuter" (Maryland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Michelin Map Ireland 712 (Maps/Country (Michelin)) (Map)

My husband, who has a fondness for detailed maps, absolutely adores this map of Ireland. Compared to the other ones we looked at, it was by far the largest and most detailed, showing the most towns and cities and roads on one map. Other maps only show you main cities and main roads and the color coding can be distracting. This map is clear and has a very extensive legend showing places of interest and historical sites.

We are using this map to plan our trip to Ireland. It's tacked up on the wall so as we look through travel guide books, we can find the locations on the big map and plan our driving trip accordingly.

As for using this map while actually in Ireland remains to be seen. I doubt the size will lend itself to ease of use (unfolding it in a car might be a hazard) so we may get a small atlas for the actual trip. But for those with an affinity for maps or want a detailed map for planning your trip, this is the map for you.

This review is from: Michelin Map Ireland 712 (Maps/Country (Michelin)) (Map)

This map is good for an overall, general view of the major highways, but we found it lacking in detail. We ended up on many smaller roads that didn't show up on the map. The size of the roads is also misleading. Irish roads are very narrow and winding. When we looked at this map, we had the impression the roads were much larger and that they covered quite a bit of the country. They don't. Even when you get on a divided carriageway, it will end unexpectedly for many kilometers before it suddenly divides again. The map looked good when I bought it, but the reality was very different.
