National Geographic Maps - AdventureIreland Map (National Geographic Adventure Map, 3303)

I would recommend this map to anyone traveling to Ireland. Very informative and to me the fact that it is waterproof and tear-resistant is the best thing yet. As most everyone knows the maps don't last very long with the constant handling on trips. This is a must have when you go to the "EMERALD ISLAND".

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.

I really like this map, we’re taking it on a trip to Ireland. It has a durable finish, and is very detailed.

I love that this map has a plastic feel to it and not paper so it doesn't rip. Very helpful when you loose navigation.

Planning a trip! Map is a must! Doesn't fall apart and waterproof!

What I needed for my trip

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.

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 map.

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

Absolut ok 👍
