I have just returned from a trip to Chile. Prior to my trip to Chile I purchased the CHILE Rough Guide Map. I traveled over 2000 mile over Chilean roads with a rental car. I found the map to be very accurate and useful for navigating the primary roads as well as the secondary roads in Chile and extreme western Argentina. The map is water resistant and due to this treatment is also resists tearing on the folds as do so many paper maps. Lacking is the detail of city streets. The COPEC gasoline stations sell a set of map books, "RUTAS DE CHILE 2008", detailing the various highways of the country by sections and this has detailed city maps. These guides are a useful addition to the CHILE Rough Guide Map.

Bought this for our second trip to Chile and found it very unhelpful. The quality of the 'plastitized' paper and the printing quality seemed very good. But then we tried to use it. Kept getting lost and stuck on wrong routes etc. Then we would go back to our old map, which was paper and in shreds, but it had all the secondary route numbers or at least put those routes on the correct end of town or in the right area so we could find the turn off. They need to go back to their sources on this one for better data.
