A [Small] Canada Map
The map itself is awesome. However, I bought it for a classroom wall, and it is a bit smaller than I thought. I think you should highlight the fact that it is a SMALL wall map. ... Read more

Streetwise Greenwich Village Map - Laminated Street Map of Greenwich Village, NY - Folding pocket size travel map with subway stations

This map covers the following areas:
Main Greenwich Village Map 1:17,000
East Village Map 1:17,000
NoHo Map 1:17,000
SoHo Map 1:17,000
Little Italy Map 1:17,000
Tribeca Map 1:17,000
Chinatown Map 1:17,000

The STREETWISE® Greenwich Village Map doesn’t just cover Greenwich Village, but everything south of 14th street and north of Chambers street, from the east River to the Hudson. Within these boundaries are some of the most colorful neighborhoods in Manhattan. While times have changed and the area may not be as bohemian as it once was, the influx of professionals has certainly not eradicated the independent spirit of each neighborhood. The area is also such a prime gastronomic destination that this is one of the few STREETWISE® Maps to feature restaurants not only highlighted on the map, but also included in the index.

While a few ultra modern condo buildings have shot up recently, Greenwich Village is still a collection of brownstones and townhouses on small tree lined streets. There’s an academic atmosphere fueled by students of New York University, the New School, Parsons School of Design and Cardozo Law School. A longtime center for gays and lesbians, the Village isn’t as shocking as it used to be. The annual Halloween parade is still a great sight to see, but the neighborhood is more of a restaurant destination than the flame throwing extravaganza that it once was.

The East Village has gentrified as well. St Marks Place was Punk Rock Central in the 70’s and 80’s, and while there will always be a few multicolored Mohawks hanging around Trash& Vaudeville (the original American punk rock hangout), the cleaned up Tompkins Square park has attracted uptowners looking for a deal. There are plenty of great restaurants in the area catering to all tastes.

In between the east Village and the West Village lies NoHo (NOrth of HOuston) and NoLita (NOrth of Little ITAly). Renovated lofts and tenements share the neighborhood with unrenovated buildings, making it a bit scruffier that SoHo or Tribeca. The Lower East Side originally was a neighborhood of immigrants jam-packed into tenements, pushcarts and small ethnic shops. It’s still a neighborhood of shops where you’ll find bargains a plenty and it’s the home of some of the more innovative restaurants in the city.

Chinatown's frenetic atmosphere is punctuated by stores selling various decipherable and undecipherable goods. Shop for treasures to take home or find a good Dim Sum restaurant and let the dumpling parade begin.

SoHo is an upscale shopping bonanza with labels such as Chanel, Prada and even Bloomingdale’s. Tribeca is a close-knit neighborhood of lofts, taverns, galleries and restaurants. The Tribeca FilmFestival, held each spring, brings visitors from all over New York and the world to see the diverse selection of offerings, some shown in an open air drive-in set up along the Hudson.

Each of these neighborhoods is delineated by color and fully indexed with listing of streets, parks, bookstores, cinemas, clubs, colleges, hotels, museums, points of interest, post offices, restaurants, shopping and theaters. Subway stops are also clearly marked.

Our pocket size map of Greenwich Village is laminated for durability and accordion folding for effortless use. The STREETWISE® Greenwich Village map is one of many detailed and easy-to-read city street maps designed and published by STREETWISE®. Buy your STREETWISE® Greenwich Village map today and you too can navigate the village like a native.

Greenwich Village map
We needed a map like this to cover the odd layout of Greenwich Village streets.Could have had larger print for us "over-forties" but worth carrying.

LOVE this handy map of the Village
This sturdy, compact tri-fold laminated map of Greenwich Village, NYC is a must have for both tourists and anyone new to the area. I've lived in New York all my life but actually found it really handy when I got this inside a "Welcome" packet when I attended school on West 4st. Always helped to know where the tiny little streets were, which subways stopped where, and how certain streets are here but then disappear once you get further uptown (like Fourth Avenue)!
Best is that it holds up well to raindrops, fits in a purse, folder, backpack, etc. without taking up room, and is full color and easy to read.A must-have for anyone interested in navigating this part of Manhattan more efficiently. ... Read more

From now on, when I buy any maps for travel, they will be the B&B laminated maps, I won't waste my money on the others. ... Read more

Great Map, Difficult Size
This map, at 30" by 41" is absolutely wonderful, as lovely as you would expect from National Geographic.My map was damaged slightly when I received it, some superficial crunching on one edge.My main problem, and the reason this is a four, rather than a five star review is it's size.I have found poster frames that are 30" by 40" and 27" by 41", but no 30" by 41".I tried converting to metric and searching for that, with no luck.I'm stuck with the choice of trimming off the edge or spending a bunch of money on a custom frame.The poster has a nice wide black and white border, so it's not a very big deal, but it would be nice if poster makers took this into consideration more often.As for the other option, the cheapest custom frame I could find was $50, and this was the lowest end; they get pricey fast. ...

map of Ecuador
Map is new, but cannot find year of printing although it has all major and secondary roads... I am quite pleased

Better than ITMB, except for showing elevation.
I just spent a couple of weeks biking around Ecuador, with this map and the Ecuador Map by ITMB.This was the better of the two maps for two reasons:(1) it's laminated; (2) it has severalmap insets of cities, including two of Quito and central Quito that I found particularly useful.

The ITMB's upside is that it had more color shading for elevation that better demonstrates topography; the Borch map only has monochrome elevation shading and pinpoint heights for peaks, etc.That made the ITMB helpful for planning biking routes, where elevation change was important.

The ITMB is also at a larger scale (1:700,000 for ITMB as opposed to 1:1,000,000 for Borch) but that did not seem to make much difference in the detail (towns, roads) on the maps.The scale difference is more pronounced the far Oriente, which is on the backside of the Borch map at 1:2,000,000 -- the main (1:700,000) map cuts off about 25km east of the Tena-Puyo-Baeza road.This seems like a fair compromise to allow the extra real estate devoted to city inserts, because number of people going that far east is pretty low.

So, although I'm glad I had both maps, if I had to choose one, it'd be the Borch.

Good maps are hard to find
As a person who has dealt with maps for forty years, I recognize both the look and feel of a good map, and how depictions on paper need to be clear and useful.This map fulfilled every expectation.

Helpful Planning Guide
Moon's division of accomodations into price categories was very helpful in planning our trip to Ecuador.I also liked the detailed maps of the 4 regions; it gave more detail about roads than the countrywide map we ordered from another source.I also appreciated their candor about less than positive safety and appeal in some areas.Will order from Moon when traveling elsewhere.

WTF??
Am I missing something? $151.00 for a MAP??? I would really like to find a good map of Ecuador and I realize they're hard to find but come on! Not at this price. ... Read more

Not necessary for travel planning.
This map is great to visualize your trip and lay it out on the desk to map out where you want to go. However, you get a FREE one with your purchase of a rail pass. So, it's not entirely necessary if you are intending on purchasing a rail pass.

Must Have Book
This book is invaluable when visiting Europe and riding the trains.
Up-to-date!!
Will get another one - when I travel to Europe again.

pretty good map, but ...
This is a nice map. It's made with heavy, shiny paper and covers all of Europe. I was hoping however to get a map that showed distances and travel times between stations. It doesn't. I expected the map to show the timetable numbers. It doesn't. I thought the map would show every city that has a train station. It doesn't. I wish I had known before I bought the map that none of this information is shown on the map.

Excellent map of the Continent.
Folds out to be about 3 feet wide and 2.5 feet tall, with maps printed on both sides.The large orange box in the middle of the greater-Europe side (which shows the area printed on the opposite side of the map) is a bit annoying, but that seems to be the worst of it.The map's heavier-duty cover is built to not mutilate the paper map inside when folding and unfolding, and the legends are clear and helpful.The largest map goes from the northernmost part of Great Britain to the top of North Africa, and from the outskirts of Moscow, Russia, to the outskirts of Ankara, Turkey.Aside from the orange box, there is nothing obscuring the continent.Scandinavia is chopped off the top of the map and moved into a greater-detailed box out in the Atlantic; I fully agree with this choice and prefer it over other maps I have owned where showing Scandinavia in its correct spot means either a lesser-detailed map, or moving Italy to another side of the map.The detailed side of the map showing central Europe only runs from Dover, UK, to Paris to Avignon, France, and Warsaw, Poland, to Belgrade, Serbia.It shows the rail relationships between these European cities and most stops in-between: Dover, UK; Paris; Turin; Milan; Munich; Brussels; Cologne; Berlin; Vienna; Budapest; Warsaw; and Prague.The detailed map covers the heartland of where most American travelers go in Europe, and shows definitively how to travel to other popular destinations, such as Madrid, Rome, Athens, London, Moscow, and Copenhagen.Either side of the map is great for posting on a wall, and the well-marked scenic rail routes make it easy to plan a train ride.Also simply excellent as a general-purpose map of Europe, and superior in this respect to road maps of the Continent. ...

London 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 London by foot and Tube.
