I traveled extensively throughout Croatia for a month and I used this map multiple times each day. The information, names, roads, and details were accurate--even in quite remote, non-touristy parts of the country. It's printed on plastic paper which means it can take a beating; It's essentially water and tear proof.

I appreciated and actually used some of the more obscure map symbols and information such as archaeological site, cave, swamp, elevation, and such.

I also used this map to locate some small rivers for fishing. I credit the map for getting me into some great fly fishing adventures that were not listed in any guide book.

Croatia is long, skinny in places, and a rather inconvenient shape for printing on a map. The author splits the country in half and you can't see the entire country printed together. While annoying, I can understand why this was done. Either one prints it small to keep it on one page, sacrificing detail or one keeps the detail and prints on different sides or on a large and unwieldy piece of paper. Oh well.

1.0 out of 5 stars This map makes me crazy, May 15, 2006

This review is from: The Rough Guide to Croatia Country Map (Rough Guide City Maps) (Map)

The country of Croatia is split up into two parts on this map - -half on one side, and half on the other. If you flip the map over to look at "the rest" of Croatia, you can spend way too much time trying to get oriented again (figure out where you started and where you left off) I don't like it.

however, there are not many maps of Croatia out there - - why, I do not know. Or, there are 4 to 6 week waits to get a Michelin map - - not convenient when you have a trip booked and need to make plans.
