Product Description

Synopsis
In partnership with a consortium of European cartographers, Rough Guides is delighted to announce the launch of a new series of country and regional maps. Since its inception in Germany in spring 2001, the World Mapping Project - "the last great adventure in cartography: its task to map every country with state-of-the-art technology" - has met with critical acclaim. Now Rough Guides brings these clear, accessible and information-packed maps to the UK and the English-speaking world. As with the city map series, "The Rough Guide Country and Regional Maps" are printed on waterproof and "rip-proof" Polyart paper.

This Rip-Proof Waterproof Map material is fantastic., 8 April 2006

By	Alan Fleming (Derbyshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Just returned from a four week self drive tour of New Zealand where this Rough Guide Map was used extensively. The map has been folded and re-folded many many times, been rained on, and wind blown but the rip-proof waterproof Polyart material is still as good as new. Its the same material as used for NZ bank notes !

Like any map a few of the fine details are out of date (e.g. un-sealed roads now sealed), but in general this map is to a good scale, is easy to read, and has lots of detail.

If you only buy one sheet map of New Zealand then buy this one. You can then pick up lots of free NZ paper maps, and street plans, when you are out there in NZ at any Information Point or Car Hire office.

Hardy, 1 Feb 2004

By	A Googly (London, UK) - See all my reviews

It's a map. It's the same scale as most of the other maps you'll find of New Zealand. It has the same islands, placenames, colours as other maps. I compared lots in Stanfords before choosing the Rough Guide map.

Why this one? Well, it's made of some clever material that makes it tough, rip-proof and waterproof, but still easy to fold, unlike thicker laminated maps. There's enough detail on the map for driving around New Zealand. And it shouldn't rip if you're arguing about directions whilst doding sheep on state highway one.

Very useful, especially for motorcyclists, 28 Sep 2005

By	Dr. J. Turner "grimbeard_1892" (UK) - See all my reviews

Very good detail and easy to read. Excellent for mtorcyclists because you *will* get caught in rain at least once if you ride in NZ for any length of time. This map is waterproof and tough, so won't disintegrate like my last one did when the sky dropped what seemed like the whole of Lake Rotorua on me!
It might need a slight update though - for example it still shows some of the Southern Scenic Route (between Ratanui and Niagara) as being an 'unsealed' gravel road, whilst my contact in NZ says it's now all 'sealed' tarmac road (as does my other map book).
It is also, like all fold-out maps, quite large and might not be the easiest to use on a pub table or inside a car. Because of that, and because you'll also need city maps, I recommend getting the AA Road Atlas of New Zealand as well (for when it's not raining or you're indoors!).
