Summary: The Best Overall Map of Iceland
Review: I recently returned from a two week trip to Iceland, and had a great time. I do wish that I had had this map prior to planning my vacation, though. The map is a 1:600,000 scale map of the entire country, along with inset maps of Reykjavik and other areas of interest, such as Akureyri, Heimaey and The Skaftafell National Park.

Also included are several representative color photos from different areas, a very useful index, a climate guide, a trilingual legend (English, Icelandic, and German), and a distance table to see how far apart places of interest are. My only desire would be more detailed information on the inset Reykjavik map on locations of hotels, museums, etc. A few places are noted, but a separate inset of 'places of interest' would be a nice feature for future editions.

I highly recommend a trip to Iceland, and I heartily endorse this map as essential to helping you prepare for your visit. Be sure to pack it with you, as it will prove indispensable, and is generally less cumbersome than most maps found in guidebooks.
