 Inferior as a guidebook. Nice Souvenir. December 2, 2008
There are about 20 pages of text (about 300 words per page) in this book. The rest of the 208 page is largely glossy pictures that look like the advertisements books one finds in hotel room. The text is actually very useful. Its maps are very nice. But the book is more like a souvenir book than a real guidebook. If you want a book as a souvenir of a visit to Tel Aviv, it may be worth buying in advance of the visit. But if you want help in planning your trip, Frommer's Israel, the 2009 edition, is a real guidebook that I have found better than its competitors, Fodor's and Lonely Planet, in planning a visit to Israel. A caveat: I am still planning our trip to Israel and experience may change my view of Frommer's.
 Hands down, the best compact pocket map of Jerusalem! November 28, 2008
I've been in Jerusalem for one month from the states and this map is the one to get if you want to easily plot your location and were you want to go.....I have three other classic style maps.......the laminated streetwise map is the one I reach for when I walk out the door. It will fit in the back pocket of my Levi's and it doesn't get trashed, ripped, or wrinkled. My expat colleagues here all ask me where I got my map.........they all would like one too
Revised Streetwise Jerusalem Map October 24, 2008
I have been waiting for this updated version to come out for years. Now the Jerusalem Zoo, among other important sites, can be found with ease. These are the best travel maps I have ever used.
Indispensible!! March 7, 2008

I never go to Israel without two of these. I am a map-o-phile and personally have many maps of Israel and Jerusalem. Some are in English and some are in Hebrew. This is the ONE map of Jerusalem that I highly reccomend to those who visit Israel with us. It's laminated, accordion-fold and easy to read.
As for the negative review, I understand the statement about the complexity, however there is no way to have less content with an accordion fold. I would suggest a larger scale map for planning at home and the hotel, and use the StreetWise map for walking.
Hands-down best map! June 13, 2007

I used this map in Israel in 2003 and LOVED it -- and was in fact the envy of my class. I left it with a friend only on condition that she return it to me immediately upon returning to the states, and even then it was tough to leave behind. Anyway, since the other reviewer didn't like it, it seemed important to add a voice from the other side. It's laminated and foldy, like FastMaps, and while it includes even tiny streets, it's not at all hard to read. There is also an index of cultural sites, hotels, gardens, points of interest, Jewish, Christian, and Muslim sites, and other stuff. And while it will not actually pick you up and bring you to Duffy's jewelry store or to the fabulous shwarma place in the old city, you will feel like it did. I'm packing it when I go again in a week! (summer 2007)
