I ordered this map from Amazon, sight unseen, but based on reviews. As a reviewer myself, I know the value of these reviews. However, when this dinky little map fell out of the envelope, I was so disappointed--UNTIL I actually sat down with the map and [...] and planned out the trip.

Let me describe the map and try to show you how compact is the size and the information. It is 16 inches long and 8 1/2 inches high. On one side is a detailed map of the French Quarter and Central Business District, including the Superdome. At the center top is the Treme District with the Louis Armstrong Park. All the hotels, restaurants, and tourist attractions are marked in the French Quarter and elsewhere. I was so surprised because the map is so compact. Streetcar and bus routes are also indicated.

When I found hotels on the website, I then found them on the map and could easily decide if the location was suitable. Since we are going during off-season and during the week, prices are exceptional. [...] is an excellent website to aid in planning.

On the flip side of the map is the entirety of New Orleans on a smaller scale with a larger scale of an extension of the Garden District from the French Quarter to Audubon Park and Zoo, another family-oriented tourist destination. Along the top and right side are listings of major streets with coordinate points, as well as hotels, places of interest, restaurants with coordinates.

You might want a larger, more detailed map for getting in and out of New Orleans or if your hotel is outside the city. If not, "Streetwise New Orleans Map" is truly all you need. See you at Cafe du Monde bright and early for cafe au lait and beignets. We've got a city to explore and an adventure to live.

This is the best map I've found detailing the French Quarter and Garden District. Compact and sturdy.

I loved this map - it is great for tourists! It is easy to carry around(small, folds and laminated) and helps with driving or riding the streetcar. Even shows street direction! It helped my vacation to NOLA tremendously. I was able to locate tours and even parking areas. I used it walking as well and it was a big help in finding bars and restaurants in the french quarter easily.

This is a good map, for the most part, especially with its detailed scheme of the Central Business District and the French Quarter. On the flip side, there is a map of the whole city but -- and this is the confusing part -- there is also another -- Uptown -- map which is confusing because it is a different scale from the one on the first side. So, you have to really study it just to see where the two maps connect. Maybe, given the limited space, they couldn't avoid this, but it makes the map a little confusing. I found the map excellent for getting around the Tourist areas. The lamination allows no-brainer folding -- a trend in maps I hope continues.

Never underestimate the value of a laminated, waterproof map in a semitropical climate. Jungle downpours are a frequent occurrence during New Orleans' steamy summers, but they can happen any time of year. This tough little map has accompanied me on a dozen trips to the city, and (if I don't lose it) will likely last forever.

Great map!

This is a great map, we brought it with us wherever we went and it helped us find where we wanted to go. At the B& B where we stayed, this is the same map that the owner gives out to her guests. It's a great map.

I used this map to supplement a travel book. We mainly stayed in the French Quarter but got to the Garden District as well. The map certainly helped us stay oriented and at times, we left the book in the hotel and just went with the map. It is sturdy and easy to fold. I have used several of these maps on my travels and generally like them.

This map is everything I hoped it would be! A great size and well produced (will not tear easily!)Easy to read with points of interest clearly marked. Very user friendly!

My wife and I went to New Orleans for a few days and found this map invaluable. It lists hotels, streetcar routes, clubs/bars, restaurants and even shopping sites. Additionally we were there during a tropical storm (torrential rains) and the fact that it was laminated was awesome. I would highly recommend this item for your next trip to the "BIG EASY"

The map looks great--size good to easily carry around. Shows all of the places to see and the places to stay. Can't wait to use it
