Iceland Map (National Geographic Adventure Map, 3302)

Extremely detailed, this map is a great accompaniment to the phone GPS technologies that everyone uses nowadays. With this map you get a greater overall perspective to the island, travel distances, and interesting points along the way. Totally recommend it. I never loan out my travel maps and books and keep them forever as references to what I've seen and experienced in each country.

Awesome. It is big, but I can map my whole route on it. I used stickers and highlighters to make it easier to find my stops. It is a sturdy map. You need this map. You can just fold it so that you only see the portion you are driving that day.

Drove around Iceland this summer in a camper Van. This map was indispensable in planning and driving Be sure to get Rick Steve's guide and map, and Michelin's map is stupid detailed. Had lunch in Dalvik at Gisli Eirikur Helgi Cafe' and one of the young men there was so impressed I was using a paper map. Y'all GO TO ICELAND!

We used this map on a 9-day self-guided tour of Iceland. It was great to have. Some people might think that in the age of GPS, printed maps have become obsolete. These are people that haven't visited Iceland, or later became lost and were never seen again. Once you get outside of Reykjavik, the addresses become a bit insane. There's no such thing as "22A Laugavegur Street, Reykjavik Iceland", instead it's something like "Hof Guesthouse Blonduos 541." Have fun putting that in your GPS! Here are some pro's and con's. Pro's: The map is water resistant. This is important in Iceland. It's fold resistant. That is, it withstood a lot of folding without tearing or fading. Almost every farm, village, and attraction is listed. The map delineates between paved and unpaved roads, and also Icelandic "F" roads. This is important if you are travelling in a vehicle that does not have all-wheel-drive, because a lot of roads that the Icelanders consider to be for "passenger vehicles" are actually only passable during two months of the year. Con's: You can't see the entire country on one side. This requires annoying flopping around of the map as you cross over. This happens more then you might think because none of the roads in Iceland go in straight lines. It's not clear what units some of the measurements are in. I eventually concluded that elevation markings were in meters. There were a few places (okay, maybe two) where the way that the roads intersected was not consistent with how they were drawn on the map.

I recently took this map on vacation to Iceland with me, and found it to be very helpful. In fact, I may have been lost to some degree without it. Everything is clearly marked, from the roads, to the towns, to the campgrounds. The little campground icons were very helpful, because I rented a little campervan and traveled all over the country that way. I had to know where the next campground was because I was just flying by the seat of my pants, with no reservations for anything. The map was very accurate. Every place they showed there was supposed to be a campground, there was indeed a campground there. The map never left me hanging with regard to the location of the campgrounds, and where I wanted to camp for the night once it got toward the end of the day. I found the marked roads to also all be accurate. You won't get lost with this map. And the paper that it is made out of is quite durable. I was constantly folding and unfolding it in various ways the whole time, depending on what part of the country I was in. It's as if there was no wear and tear done to the map at all the whole time, and I was there for ten days. It also has little icons to indicate where museums and historical points of interest are located, which also came in handy. No doubt about it, this map was valuable and enhanced my Iceland vacation. Helped me do things properly and efficiently.

Great map if you are going to drive around Iceland on the ring tour. The names are hard to pronounce and find, but once you do, you've got it! After your trip you will be glad you had this map as a souvenir. I suggest you draw the ring through the places you spend the most time. I will say this about Iceland: I am from Washington state, where we have about 6 volcanoes that are 12-14,000' tall. We have the ocean. We have basalt covered lands in eastern Washington. We have great seafood in Seattle. We have lands covered with sphagnum moss. If you live in the US, you can visit Yellowstone to see geysers all over the place, where in Iceland they have one that is lame. The culture is very different, and I had a great tour guide in Iceland whom I would highly recommend. The barren landscape is like the tundra but it doesn't have the same kinds of plants all over the place. The bottom line: If you live in the US, you can see everything I saw in Iceland and more in the US without having to spend as much money. If you live in Britain, you need a vacation in Iceland (it's only an hour by plane). But if you live in the US, we have more interesting territory close by, and then we have Alaska and Canada. Also, after I went to Iceland I went to Ilulissat, Greenland to see the Ice Fjord, which was a highlight of my outdoor life. It's expensive, but worth it.

most thorough details good for planning and has the Icelandic spellings of towns.

Will be traveling soon and ordered the map for the trip. Well made very durable and has all the information needed to travel the country!

Contando con que no hay muchos mapas de Islanda muy completos, este hace una muy buena función y acepta "maltratos".

I planned a quick 5 day tour at places in Iceland with two of my friends, it was a last minute decision and this map served us well. We have rented a car, the roads are well signed and the map was very easy to read and very helpful on our ways. There is no need for sat nav at all, found it very simple to go with the map only. Most of the camp sites are signed on the map as well which we found very useful as we were camping only. Used this in conjuction with a Lonely Planet guide book to find all of the interesting places that would not be mentioned on the map and have had one of the best holidays in my life. Would definitely recommend to anybody who is struggling to find a good map of Iceland to go for this one.I am planning to go back to Iceland next summer and this map is definitely being used again.

Love the size the waterproofing....great for our holiday

El material del mapa es muy bueno, es grueso y resistente. La calidad de impresión es muy buena, se notan muy bien los detalles de carreteras, cuerpos de agua, ríos y puntos de interés. El tamaño es adecuado como guía para utilizar carreteras y caminos, no lo recomiendo como guía para caminar en la montaña, la escala simplemente no es la adecuada. Para planear el viaje día a día es Islandia es excelente!!

Excellent map with good detail. Paper is tear proof. This is my go to company when ordering maps over the years.
