Panama Map (National Geographic Adventure Map, 3101)

Excellent map. Used during 12 month expedition. Highly recommended.

The map that I hesitantly ordered far exceeded my expectations! I was traveling with a group of more than 20 people and almost everyone had to look at the map and fold and refold it. It held up to the wear and tear like a champ! The occasional spill didn't bother it. The smaller road and communities were easily seen. The information about the country, the people who live there, and the travel info were a great hep. Several want their own before we travel again. Was well worth the price.

Recently went to Panama and the map helped.BUT, warning: Panama City is a cluster-#@%$.Get a GPS,was what all ex-pats said.Going from the Tocumen Airport to the "Bridge of the Americas"is a joke.1st your on Corrudor Sur then you get on Avenue Balboa, BUT it was just a guess on my part cause I could see the Pacific.There were little (1 or 2)street signs telling me what route I'm on.They could have at least used #numbered routes,instead they use names and what they call a road in 1 place isn't what they are calling it a mi. or so later & might not be what your map says!!Also the enlarged part of Panama City wasn't big enough,needed to include my route ALL the way to the canal.Finally give a taxi $5 to lead me in my rental car to the "Bridge of the Americas".I was going in circles & kept coming back to the other airport/shopping mall/bus terminal just off Corrudor North.Went to El Valle de Anton,Panama;once out of Panama City the map was very useful & everything was easy even though I speak little spanish(been all over Mexico,I guess they are just use to & set-up for tourist).If Panama wants tourism $$ they need to put up street signs,numbered & or color-coated to lead you from airport to canal bridge.Branson,Mo. has a great colored route to lead visitors thru the city.Did my google map homework,so I could make it back to the airport.But I stayed on main 4lane hwy and was lead to the "North bridge" over the canal(about 5mi north of the bridge I took a week before),have no Idea which right turn-off I should have used to go over same bridge !!Didn't see it on google map or this one.After realizing I was north of where I wanted to be I went with my gut,turned off that road toward "Puerto Balboa" stayed on it then saw signs that said Avenue Balboa & Corrudor Sur and I was then right on course and smooth sailing to airport.I noticed alot more signs going back toward the airport then the very few that were going away from airport. Also only saw 1 little tiny gas station on Corrudor Sur near airport(2-3km.),missed it and saw no more.So I got charged $$$ for not having the tank topped off.Also,dropped off rental car at arrival gates(same place picked up & same place taxis,buses & individuals ALL are dropping off people),a cluster%@%.Panama is a great place to go;they just have no clue about tourism yet,I got by BUT I need to learn more spanish.Map is good of all the rest of Panama,BUT you need a GPS in Panama City.

Very detailed, sized great for portability. Durable.

Nothing else to add

I used this Map during my 3 week road trip around Panama during February 2011. It is a very good map a was quiteeffective touring outside of Panama City. I went through Panama City twice, once when driving toward Costa Rica andagain when returning to the international airport outside of the city. I don't know of a map that will help on navigatethis city other than hire a taxi and follow it through the city to the outskirts. This is what I did upon return to PanamaCity. The Map;however, was very good for touring

Well, it’s a nice map. Good to use to plan a trip. Panamá isn’t that big anyway.

It’s just a map. I do like it’s waterproof, which just makes it durable. I didn’t think it should have costed so much though.

Bonne carte assez précise

Bueno

Perfecto para viajar porque prácticamente indestructible.

Perfect.

sehr genau, plastifiziert und daher sehr haltbar. Haben diese Karte auf Grund der vorhergehenden Bewertungen gekauft und koennen diese auch uneingeschraenkt weiter empfehlen. Allerdings nur fuer das Reisen quer durchs Land, beinhaltet keine Stadtplaene von groesseren Staedten, ausser einem kleinen Ausschnitt von Panama City, der aber Autofahrern nicht wirklich weiter hilft. Wir haben uns dann einen vor Ort gekauft.
