As one might expect, every book, and in this case, map, for Trinidad & Tobago emphasizes the larger of the sister islands, Trinidad. Granted, this is probably where most visitors go - but as we are only visiting Tobago, we were hoping for a qood quality map of the smaller island. This map was not the answer. If you are looking for a good map for Trinidad, this will be for you. The size is large, the color and detail is good, and the material is relatively durable yet flexible (specially coated paper to make it water resistent, but it's not laminated by any means - and might tear eventually). Unfortanately for us, the map of Tobago was relegated to the top corner of the Trinidad map. I was quite disappointed to see that the map was completely blank on one side; a horrible amount of wasted space - and opportunity. It seems that one side could have been used for Trinidad and the reverse side for Tobago. This would have allowed the map of Tobago to be large enough that more details, more roads, more village names, and more landmarks, etc. could have been included in a format that would also be easier to view. Bottom line: if you're looking for a nice map of Trinidad - this is a good option, perhaps the only one we've seen. If, like us, you need a nice map of Tobago - keep looking.

This map was helpful, though it didn't include a close-up section for POS which hurts.

I bought 3 books before we went to Trinidad and they were all good in their own way. The trip was a surprise to my husband for our 22nd anniversary and definitely gave us lots of information and we felt prepared for anything we would find.
