3 out of 5 stars Why isn't "North", North?   October 4, 2008
Generally speaking Streetwise products are amongst my top recommendations for the tourist or newcomer to a city. Like others, this one provides good details about the location of key landmarks, is easy to read, and holds up under exposure to the elements.

However, for reasons unknown, the orientation of the map is off by 90 degrees, putting the lake (which is on the east) in what would typically be the "north" side of the map. For someone who has a natural feel for where "north" is at any time, and has been using normal maps for multiple decades, this makes orienting oneself unnecessarily difficult. I'm sure someone thought they were getting more real estate or something, but that simply isn't true--it is just a question of which way the text is oriented. If they could clean this up in a future edition, they could count on me to buy a new copy.

received item in a timely fashion in proper shipping. Thought it would be a book but was a laminated pamphlet. That could be my own fault though. Thanks!

I hate maps but they are a necessary evil. This is the prince of maps. When I was apartment hunting I had everyone looking at this thing before days end ;) Its great and really easy to use. I love th4e index and the color coding. This is one map you will actually get your money's worth out of.
