This double-sided route-planning and topographical map covers the whole of this vast country (second largest in South America after Brazil) from the tropical far north beyond Salta, across the flatlands of the Pampa to the desolate southern reaches of Tierra de Fuego, including the Chilean far south and Cape Horn. Features include full road numbering and classification from motorways to rural tracks, accompanied by complete coverage of the country's railway system and 180 sites of local interest. A gazetteer includes more than 500 entries, including every significant location in the country, from the suburbs of Buenos Aires to the peaks of the Andes. The map is made from rip-proof, waterproof "plastic" paper.

This review is from: Rough Guide Map Argentina (Map)
I drove through various counties in South America. Before leaving on this 16,000K trip I sought out the best maps. In comparison to other maps, this map of Argentina is a must have.
I was trained by two gorillas with Tourette Syndrome on how to re-fold maps. My maps always look pristine on the first day, by the time I have arrived at my final destination the maps are beyond redemption, often consisting of segments and various pieces. This map holds up! The Rough Guide Maps are "Rip-Proof" & Waterproof because they are printed on a high grade sheet of plastic (kudos). Because of the plastic fabric it is easier to fold than paper maps. The roads (expressway, highway, secondary and other) are cleanly printed and in sharp detail making reading this map a breeze. The coloring and shading used allows for a good decimation of physical features, such as mountain ranges, valleys and peaks (Altitude noted). What is lacking is that the map is without any inset maps of major cities. This is a short coming but all-in-all this is an excellent road map of Argentina. Highly recommended. 4.5 Stars.

This review is from: Rough Guide Map Argentina (Map)
We are traveling to the Patagonian lakes region next week. I ordered four Argentina/Patagonia maps to compare them: ITM's Patagonia, Rutas de la Argentina, Rough Guide Map Argentina, and Map Guide Patagonia. I ended up keeping the Rutas de la Argentina and returning the others. This was the best English map of the lot. I found the road designations to be overly thick and difficult to distinguish. If you can handle the Spanish, Rutas is better.

This reads very well, but the real test will come next month when I am actually using it in Argentina. Lots of good suggestions, hope they are realistic!
