5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Overall Map of Iceland, February 13, 2004

By	Robert I. Hedges - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

I recently returned from a two week trip to Iceland, and had a great time. I do wish that I had had this map prior to planning my vacation, though. The map is a 1:600,000 scale map of the entire country, along with inset maps of Reykjavik and other areas of interest, such as Akureyri, Heimaey and The Skaftafell National Park.

Also included are several representative color photos from different areas, a very useful index, a climate guide, a trilingual legend (English, Icelandic, and German), and a distance table to see how far apart places of interest are. My only desire would be more detailed information on the inset Reykjavik map on locations of hotels, museums, etc. A few places are noted, but a separate inset of 'places of interest' would be a nice feature for future editions.

I highly recommend a trip to Iceland, and I heartily endorse this map as essential to helping you prepare for your visit. Be sure to pack it with you, as it will prove indispensable, and is generally less cumbersome than most maps found in guidebooks.

3.0 out of 5 stars An acceptable travel map, October 7, 2005

By	J. Reber (PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Iceland Travel Map (Globetrotter Travel Map) (Map)

This is an acceptable travel map but don't expect the detail or accuracy of a Michelin map to more developed countries.
As examples, road F985 (to glacier jeep tour) are not included on the map; neither of the bridges south of Lagarfljot are included. Some problems might be due to the date of the map. Better maps were available in Iceland but not in the US before we left on our trip.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful map for Icelandic trip, August 15, 2006

By	Ekaterina Tolstaya - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Iceland Travel Map (Globetrotter Travel Map) (Map)

This map provides roads in the entire country, wich is is very useful for planning (especially information on distances). But since roads are constantly improved in Iceland, maps go out of date quite quickly. In the addition to this map you can use free maps, provided at numerous tourist information centers.
