highly recommended

not as sturdy as i expected

The map was described as waterproof, which maybe it is, but i was expecting something more plastic and durable. This is still a paper map. Otherwise, the map looks great in terms of a resource for traveling around Iceland.

Basic map

This map was OK - lacking detail, but all right if you just want a basic, comprehensive overview. I drove about half the Ring Road - but ended up relying far more on the free maps from the rental car company, tourist info centers, gas stations, etc.

But note: Even if it's not this one, you'll definitely want a good road map for the trip. Don't leave home without. (Price will be double in Iceland.)

Detailed, durable and easy-to-read

This map makes it easy to distinguish major roads from minor ones, which is very important in Iceland because some "major" roads are unpaved and some minor roads are only for four-wheel-drive vehicles. What I liked most about the map was its use of icons along roads to indicate waterfalls, caves, lighthouses, museums, geysers and geothermal features. This made it like a mini-guidebook and ensured that you didn't drive by something interesting without knowing it. In addition to buying this map, I also bought one by Cartographia. After comparing the two maps, I left the Cartographia at home because the ITMB map was so much more detailed and easier to read. Finally, after the two-week trip, I appreciated how durable (to folding and re-folding every which way) and waterproof this map was!

great map

I really like this map. I wanted a good road map to help us circle the island by car in the week that we will be there on vacation. It is large, has excellent detail and even has some hiking trails on it. Major sight-seeing and "must see" attractions are idicated as well. I recommend it.

Great map...will see how it goes!

Map looks good and quite detailed. Am taking my trip in August so will see how accurate it is on the F roads! Map is not plastic covered as anticipated. By waterproof I think they mean that it will not disintegrate, but may still tear.
