San Francisco is one of the three great mythological American cities. New York mythologizes money, Washington DC power and San Francisco freedom. Where else would 75,000 runners dress up as centipedes, pianos, six packs of beer and participate in a moving masquerade ball otherwise known as the Bay to Breakers Race. No other city welcomes and embraces so many world cultures and world lifestyles.

Visitors will experience a city uniquely rich in physical beauty and eclectic architecture. A perpetual spring climate graces this hilltop surrounded by the Pacific Ocean. In this city so geographically spectacular it will make you gasp, the only drawback is having to leave it.

Our STREETWISE® San Francisco Map integrates many features which will help you travel around the city. The detailed street grid has neighborhoods and important features clearly labeled to help visitors locate hot areas like SoMa (South of Market), Union Square, Chinatown, The Castro, Nob Hill and Pacific Heights to name a few. The STREETWISE® map of San Francisco also includes an extensive list of iconic sites such as Golden Gate Park, Fisherman’s Wharf, Yerba Buena Gardens, Alcatraz Island, and Pier 39. Inset maps of mass transportation systems include the bus system, Muni Metro and BART. Cable car and ferry routes, highlighted on the main map, offer many options to navigate around the city.

Should you opt to travel by car, the Area road map will guide you to San Francisco International Airport or across San Francisco Bay to Oakland and Berkeley, California.

5.0 out of 5 stars By far the best San Francisco map for your pocket or bag, May 30, 2009

By	G. M. Matthews (Camino, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have about 5 of these, so no matter where I am, I can find one or have one to loan out. They are simply great maps of San Francisco. There are certainly maps with more detail, but Streetwise has engineered to put more information in a small space than you can imagine.

And the more you look, the more you realize is there. I wanted parking in downtown, and lo and behold on the downtown inset, parking garages are shown. If you know anything about San Francisco, the icons on the map give you references and make it very easy to better see context. The text is easy to read. We abuse these to death and none of them have complained or gotten rough around the edge yet. My only complaint is I wish it covered a larger area, but it does exactly what it's supposed to - it covers the 49 square mile area called San Francisco.

All of the tourist attractions are on the map. All of the main landmarks are on the map. All of the streets and street directions and MUNI and Cable Cars are on the map. You can hold it in the car and actually read it, which you can't do with any paper map on the planet. It shows so much more context than Maps on my iPhone because you can see the whole city at a glance. Well, half at a time. It's split between the north and south half of the city on the two sides of trifold plastic sheets.

If you're looking for a map of SF that you can carry with you always, this is the one. You will want other resources, possibly guidebooks if you are a tourist, the Not For Tourist Guide if you live in the City as I do, and possibly better paper maps when you really want to see detail around the kitchen table, and Google Earth and it's street level views which allow you to walk around if you are sitting in front of a computer. But this map is the one I use 95% of the time, and I has never let me down.

5.0 out of 5 stars worked great for my vacation, May 21, 2008

By	Kim's Two Cents "Kim" (Lansdale, PA) - See all my reviews

I stayed at The Red Vic in Haight-Ashbury, a little off the beaten path. This map and my weeklong muni pass paid for themselves a gabillion times. The map worked great; I was never lost. The way they depict the touristy section of Lombard Street makes me giggle.

5.0 out of 5 stars This map rocks!, October 6, 2007

By	C. Miyafuji - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I live in SF and am so dependent on these maps that we have two copies in our household. I have one older copy, which doesn't have a BART map, but still was good enough to cause dependence. This new version with the BART map and the topographical coloring is even better! If you're going to be a tourist, this is much more detail than you'll need and you won't have to worry about crinkling and tearing as with other maps because of the hard paper and lamination.
