Review
This is a normal paper map and guide, highly recommended for all visitors to the Garden of the Atlantic. Cheaper than buying one when we get there. Ray - Yorkshire better than it looks This appears very flimsy and not very clear but I found it more useful than the Biaritz map I also bought. It has lots of useful tourist info, like cafes/bars and viewpoints as well as a huge number of walks marked on it. The road information is not quite up to date (hardly surprising since they seem to be continually upgrading/building new ones). Contrary to other reports I found the Madeiran drivers friendly and polite and driving was not a problem, but the busses are regular and get into even the most unlikely places - and this map will helpm you find the right one if you need them. A J Gauld - Scotland A useful map.., This is a useful map. Two sided, one side is a streetmap of Funchal, size 40cm x 60cm, with all districts and the major roads named. It marks all the town bus routes and their terminuses. There is also a table showing details of their routes, and notes about bus services, etiquette, frequency... It would not be a substitute for a tourists plan of the very centre of Funchal, (though you can pick these up free everywhere). The other side is a map of the island, 50cm x 80cm, scale 1:60,000, 5cm=3km, showing roads, contours, tourist information, a place-name index, plus details of the across-island bus routes, with timetable information for some routes. It would be a good map for someone touring the island. though David Brawn's Tour & Trail map is at a larger scale and so can show more detail. Petercats - Manchester

It would be a good map for someone touring the island.. though David Brawn's Tour & Trail map is at a larger scale and so can show more detail. I was glad I bought both maps before I went, as maps on sale in tourist shops were often much dearer than the price I paid on Amazon.
