About the Author

STREETWISE Maps, Inc. was founded in 1984 by Michael E. Brown. Before starting the company, he worked in international publishing and acquired a fascination for maps. In 1983 Brown envisioned a new format for a map; one which integrated convenience and modern graphics. He wanted to create a map that would not only visually entice someone to visit a particular city, but reward them as well with exceptional clarity, accuracy, and durability. By making the map as aesthetically pleasing as it was functional, Brown combined his sense of design with his love of travel. The result was an innovative consumer product. In the early years, Brown was not only cartographer and publisher, but shipping manager as well, delivering the maps around the streets of New York on a Harley Davidson motorcycle. STREETWISE Maps, Inc. eventually expanded into publishing maps of cities throughout the world.

This review is from: Streetwise Vienna (Streetwise) (Map)

This map has the mosted visited sections of Vienna clearly printed -on one side (bonus!), along with a pretty comprehensive street index on the back. Additionally, like all "Streetwise" maps, points of interest, landmarks for tourist navigation and major hotels/restaurants are also clearly marked. Great whether it's your first trip there, or have some experience in the city. Certainly the best part about this map, heck the whole series, is the maps are laminated. This makes 'em easy to fold, and is particularly useful in the rain; no small advantage over a paper map in Europe. I suggest using them with an alcohol pen to trace routes and ID spots you want to visit that aren't already printed. When Streetwise starts producing maps with Lat/Longs on them (for GPS), these maps will definitely get 5-stars from me.
