too small and a bit unorganized
It's an OK map but it is difficult to read because of the small print. T information is nice to have though. There are better laminated maps out there that are the same size. It works in a pinch though and is convenient to carry.

Small yet Comprehensive
This map has a lot of information packed into a small space.Unfortunately, it is very difficult to read.We took this to Boston for a week-long honeymoon and actually used the cardstock-printed map from the Concierge's desk.We primarily used this to figure out the T (Boston's subway system) stops.

The lamination, though, is a plus because you can write on it with a grease pencil.

All in all, there are much better on the market that are not as difficult to read.

Laminated Boston Map
I was excited to take this map with us to Boston but found it hard to read because the print was so small.In fact, I ended up sticking it in my purse and not using it at all because the map that the hotel's shuttle driver gave us was so much better.That map's print was large and in bright colors so it was easier to use.It was dog-eared at the end of the trip but it went in the trash because we no longer needed it anyway.

map
The laminated Boston street map is clear and gives a wide range of Boston's different districts and streets in those areas.It gives a visitor to Boston an idea on where to stay and sightsee.

beat the GPS
i rarely feel compelled to write reviews for products, and to be honest, they are usualy more of a warning than a compliment. this is the exception. twice now i have been traveling by myself in cities (Chicago and now Boston) and found my Streetwise map to be a far more acurate guide than my (very expensive and brand new) GPS navigator. i consider them indispensible whether i am traveling for business and need to quickly navigate like a native or just sightseeing.

great feature of this map-its laminated so you can write on it without ruining it.we had it on hand while visiting some friends and they took a dry-erase marker and circled fun place to go, numbered their priority (from can't miss to so-so) and even drew X's through areas to avoid.when we accomplished what we wanted for the day, we just wiped it off and started over.

in particular, i love the detail of these maps. several times i have been just around the corner from a fun shopping district or museum and would never have known if not for these maps-something my GPS fails to share with me. i have often been able to find shorter, savvier routes with these maps than what my GPS was indicating. even if you spent an obcene amount of money on one of these devices, i insist to everyone i know to supplement their travels with one of these maps. the GPS was $600, the streetwise maps was $6. you do the math. ...

An Indispensable Map that Sets the Standard for Others!
This was the first Berndtson map I'd ever owned and I found it indispensable. Right after landing, I grabbed my shades, sunblock, a bottle of water, and walked my way around a good part of Madrid for two weeks with the help of this map. To me, there's nothing more annoying than struggling with a large, paper map with tiny print, while I'm on the go. This map is easy enough to use that you can read it while walking due to its form and layout.

First of all, with its oversized print and color-coded layout, it's very easy to read at a glance. No more squinting. Landmarks, neighborhoods, and subway stops are clearly marked.

Second, it contains mini-maps of Segova and Toledo. As we sat on a bus for Segovia, my skeptical travel partner wondered aloud about how to get her bearings in Segovia. I said that I thought my map contained a guide to the town, she grumbled that what I had was amap of Madrid, NOT of Segovia. Suprised as I unfurled my map and triumphantly handed it to her, she exclaimed, "this is a REALLY good map!" Very handy if you just want a quick general guide for a brief day trip to Segovia and Toledo.

Third, its laminated and oversized, which means it's easy to fold and keep neat. No more torn or soggy maps, no more struggling to re-fold it back into some semblance of order, and no more splitting at the folds after constant use.

Fourth of all, because it is laminated, I've used it to sit on dirty or wet surfaces, as a picnic tablecloth (just wipe clean!), as a fan in the 100+ degree heat of Madrid in July, and as an umbrella during an unexpected summer rainstorm. You just can't get any better than that!

Now, whenever I travel, I always look for Berndtson/Borch's laminated maps. Although visitors staying for longer may wish to buy a more detailed street map for Madrid and surrounding areas, this one did me just fine for 2 weeks of walking around Madrid, Segovia, and Toledo. To me, it paid for itself 10 times over. I HIGHLY recommend it. ... Read more

Paris Map by Borch
We bought a couple of different maps when preparing for a European trip last year.We found this map to be cumbersome and unhelpful.The maps in the travel guides met our needs as tourists who saw Paris by foot and Metro.

Terrible Map...although I don't have an alternative...
Contrary to the other review written, I would suggest buying ANY MAP OTHER THAN THIS ONE.

The map's biggest problem is that it doesn't show the entire city.St. Petersburg is a collection of islands, and some of the islands, most importantly Vasilevsky, simply don't fit on the map. If you want to go anywhere other than the main streets of Petersburg, good luck using this map to figure out where they are.It doesn't zoom in, so you can get to the area something is in, but it's hard to find the tiny little winding streets it takes to get there.A huge key with points of interest blocks off most of the streets on another one of the islands.

The reason I gave this map two stars instead of one (or none) was because: 1.It's laminated.Sure, you look really dumb in the city unfolding a HUGE laminated, brightly colored map, but it does withstand the test of St. Petersburg's regular snow and rain. 2.It has a metro map that's easy to understand.But I think you could find that anywhere.3.The tourist locations are blatantly marked so that you can't miss them.

So, if you're just going to see the ten major sites of St. Petersburg, than this is a fine map.But if you want to be able to navigate some of the smaller side streets or if you're trying to visit someone's apartment, this is not the map for you.

Review of Saint Petersburg City Streets
The only map of Saint Petersburg that has survived my frequent trips to the Imperial City is this one from the B & B City Streets series.It is of primary interest to tourists since it covers only the city center in detail and it has Latin characters in all text.The map is virtually indistructable due to each panel being a seperate plastic laminated map segment which is waterpoof and folds effortlessly with one hand.It includes Metro Line diagrams, street locator index, text in 5 European languages, major attractions, yearly temp. and rainfall graphs, and regional map panels.This is the map I recommend to both first time and seasoned Saint Petersburg visitors due to it's comprehensive but easy to read format. If I was able to take only one map, it would be this one unless I needed a map in Cyrillic.All Cyrillic maps I've been able to find are thin paper that wear out and tear at the folds after a short period.The scale of 1:11000 is perfect for displaying the city center large enough to see the detail which would be desired by a walking tourist. ...

colorful, informative and seductive
Nancy's map draws you into Bangkok because it is so colorful and seductive.It is well thought out and designed to entice the user into exploring the city and its various attractions.It is a true "guide" since it doesn't overdo the information but tickles the desire to see something rather than read about it. Find something or someplace on her map and then set out on your own or ask the people manning the Desk at your hotel to write your desire/destination in Thai on a piece of papere so you can show a cab driver or ask someone for directions.There are so many streets and alleys in Bangkok with and without street signs that having a street map is next to useless, especially if your cannot read Thai.Nancy's map is an overview of what is available in Bangkok and provides an idea of its general location using only one sheet of paper.Nancy works very hard to update the information provided on the map.Leave your guide book at home and take this map.It packs flat and hardly weighs anything at all.Study it before you go and make notes of what you want to see.You'll have a good time and see more using her map to get around.

Where Am I?
Nancy Chandler's Map of Bangkok is nicely illustrated and easy to understand, except for Bangkok's taxi drivers who couldn't seem to make head or tail of it.One driver actually pulled over and gave us to another taxi driver who spoke some English.He got us to our destination, though he couldn't read the map either.But go ahead, buy it.At least YOU'LL know where you're going.Lynne Farr, author of OFF THE GRID WITHOUT A PADDLEOff The Grid Without A Paddle

Ehhh.
Just got back from Bangkok.I ended up with three sources of Bangkok info - two travel books and the Nancy Chandler map.Of the three, I found the Nancy Chandler map and guide by far the least useful.It has lists of all sorts of things, but no real detail.The one benefit is the map of the Chatuchak Market - it's not that good a map, but it's better than having no map for this huge open market.The DK Top 10 Bangkok coupled with the free map you can pick up at the airport or hotel turned out to be much more valuable.

My copy is soooo worn from overuse!!
For my first trip to Bangkok, I researched like mad and kept coming across travel references to this map.Although they are easy to find in Bangkok (including the Peninsula Hotel's gift shop, for cheaper no less!) I wanted my copy before my trip so I could look over it.

During our trip, we relied on this for everything... from restaurants, spas to shopping!It was very easy to use and once you understand the key (read the book!) the transportation options are very handy (ie, whether to use river boat vs metro vs taxi vs walking).It was also easy enough to fold over to stick into your pocket.

The business address, hours and costs in the review makes it so handy.

Whether it's your first trip or 10th, I think this map would be an asset to Bangkok travelers!

Excellent
Very useful even if you do not speak english. Buy it before your trip to Bangkok as a very valuable tool for chosing hotel and for making plans for your visit.
