Great map!
What I needed for my trip
This map is essential
We just got back from our visit to Ireland and I felt compelled to write a review for anyone considering buying this map. I can easily say I relied on this map more than anything else and am so glad I made the last minute decision to purchase it. I downloaded google maps to use offline and got a rental with a gps unit but both of them failed me on more than one occasion. I ended up solely using this map and road signs to navigate our way through Ireland. We basically did a tour of the south - Cork, Killarney, Ring of Kerry, Valentia Island, Slea Head Drive, Limerick, Cliffs, Galway, Connemara Natl Park, and Dublin all using this map. We took many back roads (only hitting one toll road as we approached Dublin) as we liked the more “scenic route” and had no trouble at all. The map also clearly marks many great places to stop and see along the way. It was easy to fold the map to the area we were traveling, was easy to mark, and it held up - it still looks brand new. I wasn’t so sure about this map after reading other reviews, but I would strongly recommend it to anyone considering it. It’s compact, easy to follow, and well worth the small amount of space it took up in my luggage. Technology is great but easily fallible. This map never let us down.
Great primary and back-up tool when driving in Ireland!
I purchased this erasable road map of Ireland during our planning stages. This map earned its keep as my wife relies on her iPhone way too much. When internet service was scant or non-existent the map filled a huge void in our rural travels. It's also a great way to check your electronic devices to assure you're traveling down the proper road. Don't leave the USA without it.
Good quality
I really like this map, we’re taking it on a trip to Ireland. It has a durable finish, and is very detailed.
Nice back up to our cell phone
We primarily used the map on our cell phone to get around Ireland in our rental car. But a paper map is always handy to get the "big picture."
Map
We both haven’t got to Ireland yet but we will use when we get there and probably is better than the GPS on the phone. We are from the old school and we both did get lost with directions how to get to our destinations by GPS on foot. So paper map is always a handy guide when the phone doesn’t get to exactly where you want to go.
Great Backup Plan
This was meant to be a backup plan in case the Google Maps app on my smartphone lost signal. I like how the material is durable and water resistant. It folds up well and can be tucked into a backpack. The colors are bright, text is crisp, and information seems accurate. The legend is helpful. I could do without the stock photography on it though. I’d rather that space contain additional information, like telephone numbers for various nation-wide resources or certain laws and reminders that tourists should keep in mind.
High Quality Material, Excellent Details, Useful Extra Detail for Some Cities
Very well made, wonderful detail, clearly shows various types of roads, major highway, regional road and local road. Very helpful identification of many notable and not so notable sites to visit. Very detailed indexing of towns. Only drawback I believe to this map is in order to see the full county you must look on the front and then backside of the map. If seeking to map out your trip you may need to keep flipping the map over. This is, in my opinion, an acceptable inconvenience given the details contained in the map.
