Ireland Map (National Geographic Adventure Map, 3303)

Excellent map which I used for planning and as a guide while there.

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.

We found this map very useful, and high quality. We used it in planning our trip, getting an overall idea of the relationship of places, and used the many "sites to see" markings as one of our guides for where to stop. We likely would not have seen Cahir Castle during our trip from Cashel to Killarney if it weren't for this map. Three fifths of the island of Ireland is on each side of the map, providing a good size and good overlap when using either side of the map. I brought a magnifying glass to make it easier for my middle aged eyes to use. Not the only map you would need, but very useful. We used an offline map app called HERE on our phone to GPS navigate around the country. However, sometimes our app sent us on some of the tiniest roads to connect places. The National Geographic map helped put things in perspective and to understand expected road quality in terms of differentiating a local lane from a county highway, with the smaller roads not included at all. It takes a book such as the Colliers Road atlas of 64 to 160 pages depending on which you purchase to get the smaller roads and navigation. This folding map serves a different purpose and held up during all use. It was perfect to use with the GPS navigation of HERE. I plan to purchase National Geographic Maps for other destinations in the future for getting a sense of places and their overall relationship and the availability of roads. Very useful.

Great map view of the Island. A little tough at times to find detail and certainly not easy to use while in the car and getting 'lost' on the back roads of this wonderful country. Still it was quite helpful in doing route planning along the main and rural roads. Major points of interest were easily located. The map is coated so it held up very well to wear and tear. The only way to make it better would also have the effect of making it worse in a lot of ways. It's not an atlas. Making this into that type of resource would also take away the convenience.

We took this detailed map to Ireland and were so glad we had it with us! As a US driver not accustomed to driving on the left and knowing we would be driving for 10 days across a foreign country, we were glad to have the updated map. While we did have Google plot a course with options first, we learned quickly and were so glad we had a map to reference and compare the e-route(s) with so we could reroute ourselves when Google assigned the very small rural roads/lanes (marked L) rather than larger regional roads (R) or main interstates (M). This map helped us reduce stress by helping us choose more Rs/Ms and understanding when/why we needed to take L's to get to our desired place!

Very detailed

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.

Good product and I appreciate the heavy, water proof paper its printed on.

Absolut ok 👍

Bien détaillé et indéchirable. Je recommande !

My Mom is old school and likes to bring maps with her on trips, and she was delighted when I had this mailed out to her prior to her upcoming trip. Impressed with the level of detail. Water resistant and tear resistant are a big plus.

lo mejor es que venga por las dos caras y la robustez al doblado. Comparado con el mapa de AA que es muy bueno, éste indica todo lo que se puede encontrar un turista que esté de paso: monumentos naturaleza etc

Tolle und detaillierte Karte von Irland.
