9781904946724 La Gomera Tour & Trail Map 5th edition Super-Durable - Digital editions of this map are available for use on mobile phone apps from Viewranger, Memory Map and MyTrails, plus versions for mapping gps units and gps software are available from Mapyx Quo and Memory Map. New 2011 5th Edition of our La Gomera Tour & Trail Map now as a Super-Durable edition. Continuing with our larger 1:35,000 scale produces a map whose total size is 840mm by 680mm. You get the most detailed map of La Gomera that is produced including our 'Tour & Trail' level of detail ranging from major roads to secondary roads to minor roads to streets and camino rural narrow country roads, plus dirt roads and walking trails. Altitude background colouring is designed to clearly show the altitude range when travelling across the island by car or on foot. 100 metre and 50 metre contours are clearly shown on the map along with a large number of individual height points and all of the official 'Trig' points. Tour & Trail attention to detail is legendary as is our useful symbol range including miradors, picnic areas, petrol stations, bar/restaurants and parking areas where you can pull off the road safely. You will easily identify springs, caves, sports grounds, cemeterys, churchs, chapels, lighthouses, towers and forts, camping areas, wind turbines, hotels and those all important information offices. For adventurers on foot Tour & Trail Maps are researched and designed by hikers for use by hikers. Our comprehensive gps ground surveys produce the best road mapping available but the value of this on the ground research becomes even more important when you leave the tarmac. All of our DWG walking routes are accurately gps surveyed giving you confidence in the accuracy of our Tour & Trail Maps. Tour & Trail Maps are produced in Paper and Super-Durable editions. If you only intend to visit a destination once you might choose to save money with a Paper edition. We recommend everybody to obtain our Super-Durable editions printed with 100% oxygenation inks on Polyart by the Uk's leading map printer, which produces a map that feels like silk but will stand up to the roughest treatment of outdoor adventuring and yet fold up like new at the end of your adventure. Super-Durable editions are 50% more expensive than Paper editions, but represent better value while being reassuringly expensive. La Gomera Tour & Trail Map 5th edition includes all the walking routes from Walk! La Gomera along with twenty two official cnig walking routes clearly highlighted on the map. For the new 5th edition we've updated the roads information for the new San Sebastian access road along with its roundabouts and miradors, new central Hermigua bypass and its roundabouts, new country road on the southern side of the Hermigua valley, the road 'smoothing' on what was the TF711 as it runs down to Hermigua and when it climbs up from Vallehermoso including the new tunnel; the TF711 now becoming the GM 1 under the island's new road numbering system. Quite simply La Gomera Tour & Trail Map 5th edition Super-Durable is the most detailed, accurate, toughest, large scale La Gomera map that you can buy.

Not sure about 'super durable' but certainly decent enough quality and ours is still fine after 10 days use on the island. Very clear layout and the walking trails that we used from it all turned out well. Contour lines are very helpful in such a rugged terrain with many 1000+ feet deep ravines.

The 1:35,000 scale of the `Tour & Trail' map of La Gomera (5th edition) equates to a bit less than 2 inches to the mile and is well suited for walking (between our Ordnance Survey Landranger and Outdoor Leisure series). A unique feature is how it uses route numbering to coincide with the Discovery guidebook `Walk! La Gomera' and all 35 walks described in the guide are marked up together with a few extra routes. These are readily understandable and some strategic bus stops, parking areas and picnic places are also marked to assist route planning. There is a host of detail on viewpoints, refreshment facilities, petrol stations etc. as well as towns or villages and even isolated buildings, plus information offices, public buildings, sports grounds, historical structures etc.
Paths are marked with dotted lines (red for recommended walks) and waypost symbols. Roads are clearly drawn as main, secondary, minor and dirt tracks and the numbering system is up to date where Gomeran numbers are replacing Tenerife designations. The steepness of roads is obvious from the numerous bends shown and incorporation of tunnels. As an island La Gomera is almost round with a central peak (Garajonay) and numerous ravines (barrancas) radiating like spokes from hub to rim. These physical attributes are made clear by use of different subtle shades at each 200m increase in height, and dotted blue lines show water courses, but perhaps more importantly contour lines are stated at 100m intervals with intermediate lines at 50m intervals. Spot heights and trig points are identified but there is no specific indication of craggy areas other than close together contours (wider than OS). Longitude and latitude grid details are provided in relation to Greenwich meridian and it would be possible to link with suitable GPS (except I haven't got one). This `Tour & Trail' map is amongst the best of those I've bought over the years for holidaying in various foreign climes.

This book and map proved invaluable on a walking holiday in La Gomera. The map is clear, detailed and tough - and can be used for motoring as well as walking. The book links with the map and contains accurate instructions on the walks - but beware, there are no easy walks on La Gomera!

This is an excellent, very clear map. All you need I feel for walking and getting around this lovely island.
Obtainable in La Gomera but probably cheaper from Amazon.
