This map is large and colorful and would look good on a wall. As for navigation it completely fails to capture enough detail to aid you in navigation for any thing but the largest and best marked roads. This map was essentially useless as a navigational aid in Sicily on our Dec 2006 tour. The road signs were of much greater use and covered everything on this map. When we missed a turn or a sign this map never once helped us regain our position and in the cities it was completely worthless. The map provided by the rental car company gives you the overall picture and as much utility as this map.

The signs for getting from city to city and to many of the major sites are very good and many of the hotels have signs that will get you from the major roads to their locations. Your best bet is to get detailed instructions in an email before you leaver or to use google to get directions. Also there are many signs that will get you out of a city to the major highways. This is how we navigated.

The size of this map also makes it very hard to use in a car, or even a kitchen table.

I would not buy this map.

This map seems to have great detail for navigating the island of Sicily. I will find out how accurate it is in FEB '06!
