Iceland Map - Adventure Map National Geographic (National Geographic Adventur...

We purchased this for a 3 week long roadtrip around Iceland. It got used a lot and battered around and we found it very sturdy - it did not rip just simply bounced back into shape!It provided great detail for the main roads and we found it particularly useful how (unlike other maps) it details the condition of the road - a lot of roads in Iceland are gravel tracks the most extreme of which you can only use 4 wheel drive vehicles on!We did use it in conjunction with a sat nav app and also a lonely planet guide, as some parts of the map are slightly outdated, or as we found at one occasion there was a new quicker road available that was not marked on the map. In addition to that we found a lot of petrol stations that weren't marked on the map.Overall this is a great map that was essential for our roadtrip - we would have struggled without it! Don't try and rely on the free maps the car rental places will give you because they are as much use as a chocolate fireguard!

Does what it says, a durable map of Iceland. Not enough detail to show hiking routes but shows all roads and a decent number of attractions and campsites. With Iceland it's best to research things beforehand, for instance certain campsites and roads close in the winter. Also wild camping and hiking are strictly forbidden so find and stick to proper hiking trails and campsites. So do your research and then mark it on the map yourself! Most things tend to be well signposted.Also keep up to date with the weather forecast - some roads, even the main road, may be closed in bad weather.My personal advice would be to hire a car or camper van as public transport is expensive and not too regular, especially in winter.Have fun!

I used this map a lot in the planning of our recent Iceland adventure, weeks before we went....the reason it only got four stars is because there were a few roads marked as being tarmac which weren't, (could be a problem if you're in a 2wd, and there were a number of really amazing places which weren't even shown on the map, we found them in different guidebooks, and on the free (but cheap/flimsy paper) map which we got with our hire car.My advice is to get this map, as it just doesn't rip, despite having pins stuck in it, and being refolded many many times, but use it along side a good guide book, and free maps that you can pick up from tourist information and car hire places once in Iceland. If you are using the map to plan your itinerary, then you wont see a lot of the places you find elsewhere, listed on this map.

Two substantial errors on this map. It’s either poorly notated or very dated. On the East coast, the main No.1 ring road is shown going inland at Breiđdalsvík. It is in fact the 95, a partially unmade narrow road high into the mountains with scary hairpin bends and steep ascents/descents. We could see from that it was partly unmade, but thinking it was the main No.1 gave us a false sense of security and the unmade section much longer than depicted.

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.

I bought this as a second map to use for a 12 day road trip around Iceland. This map is much better than the other road map I had. This is more useful 1:460000 and very easy to navigate when on the trip.... and the type and style of the tourist destinations was clear to read. I really recommend this map for a big road trip ( and I'm seriously fussy with my maps!). Quick and easy delivery. Highly recommended

The best thing about this map is its durability, we folded it all ways to fit into a map holder, and it's still in great condition.It shows the information and detail you would expect for a map in this scale. However, it lost points for me by showing route 365 as gravel/unsurfaced when its now surfaced, if you are travelling from Pingvellir to Gullfoss or Geysir you need to know this as otherwise it's a long way round - we unfortunately found out too late!Still a good map for trip planning, and worth buying as it won't fall apart like standard paper maps!

Easy to read, informative, very useful
