I like this map - I like the whole series for the islands. The topography is well laid out so it makes it easy to locate the town or street you need. Planning a route is easy. Folded size is the same as normal street maps you have in your vehicle.
Nice well detailed map of O'ahu.Reasonable detail on the map with a few mini maps for certain areas (Honolulu, Kaneohe, and Kahala Head).Would be great for vacationing, but since we live here I really want something with more detail (street names, areas and neighborhoods).
The problem with a GPS is that it will take you where you know where you want to go, but it doesn't tell you what is just next door that you don't know about. And often a GPS will want to take you the wrong route because it is stupid. And it won't account for the surf competition that is on, or the backroad that will take you home 10 miles shorter, but because it isn't a highway, it will ignore the route. That is why you need a good map. This is one.
A little confusing to look at because the color scheme is a weird lime green and yellow, but I love that it shows almost everything imaginable that you would want to find on a map. Every beach, valley, major street, peak, you name it.
This map gives a new (or old) local or a visitor an excellent sense of the entire island. Internet maps on your cell phone can get you where you want to go, but you might not know what you have been close to and missed seeing as you were driving to a destination. Sights, beaches, towns and historical places are all well marked. A great resource.
I bought a couple of these maps. One each of the Islands I plan to visit next year. Without ever being there I can not say how accurate they are. I just bought them for planning purposes. Once I get there I will probably just use GPS to get around.
It does show the whole island and some details of Honolulu, Kaneohe, and Kahala Head areas but hardly any street names. No smaller roads are on there either. It's not detailed at all with roads but does have points of interest. Don't count on using this map for off the beaten path adventures.
Nice map for driving with a lot of outlined detail. Highlights many interesting destinations including beaches. I do however wish these maps were more durable. They seem to rip at the creases with very little wear.
