I loved Streetwise Manhattan so I bought this. What a disapointment! The main strength of Streetwise is the integration of Streets and Subways. But Streetwise Brooklyn actually leaves off some subway stations! Ever try to mark up a laminated map to add a stop? Doesn't work, and neither does this map. And the north/south split just doesn't work for Brooklyn. Also, the trains to Brooklyn changed when the Manhattan bridge re-opened to subway traffic, so where's a new edition? Do get the Manhattan version, it's complete and works great, but skip Brooklyn.

I found this map to be very accurate and concise. It was very helpful and easy to use. I grew up in Brooklyn and I purchased this map before a return visit to be prepared for probable changes in 20 yrs. I had no problems using the map and it was up to date. Obviously improvements have been made since these other reviews were written. I think it simply is a great little map for a very big and complicated part of the city.

This map was not at all helpful. The text is small. It splits the borough in half vertically with one half on one side and the other half on the flip side of the map. I have found other maps that are much more user-friendly especially for individuals who are not very familiar with Brooklyn.

Streetwise maps are the best out there - You cant match the clarity or the compact size of these maps - Also they update them frequently, so when you buy one, you can be sure it is correct.

Laminated and fold-able, these maps will go wherever you do - I always keep my streetwise map on me - do you?

Why the hate?
This map is great but you have to know what it is, it's a small POCKET map, doesn't have every detail, I wouldn't use it for driving, just subways and walking around and it's fine for that. Graphic simplicity, compactness, and userfriendliness second to none in my opinion.
