5.0 out of 5 stars An essential map ., November 25, 2003

This review is from: Myanmar Country Map: (Burma) (Periplus Travel Maps) (Comprehensive Country Maps) (Map)

The Periplus Myanmar map is an indispensable purchase you must make before you enter the country in order to plan and execute your trip, since you will find it very hard to find one once you are in.
I strongly recommend it in addition to the Lonely Planet guide (see my past review) as the two tools to the serious and organized traveler.

Inside, you'll find 6 maps:

1. A big Myanmar map (1:2,000,000)
2. A map of Bagan area (1:35,000)
3. A detailed map of old Bagan (1:15,000)
4. A city map of Yangon (1:35,000)
5. A detailed map of Central Yangon (1:17,500)
6. A map of Mandalay.

All the maps are well printed and help a lot to get around in the country. The best places to see are highlighted in red. Inside you'll also find a few useful traveling tips for a kick-start.

This review is from: Myanmar Country Map: (Burma) (Periplus Travel Maps) (Comprehensive Country Maps) (Map)

It's very nicely made, laminated and all. And the colors and coding and layout is all wonderful. However, I feel like more of the cities can be covered and particularly the areas in each city. Especially Mandalay, they only cover the downtown when it's such a major city.
