Iceland Map (National Geographic Adventure Map, 3302) Map – Folded Map, January 1, 2022

most thorough details good for planning and has the Icelandic spellings of towns.

I recently took this map on vacation to Iceland with me, and found it to be very helpful. In fact, I may have been lost to some degree without it. Everything is clearly marked, from the roads, to the towns, to the campgrounds.The little campground icons were very helpful, because I rented a little campervan and traveled all over the country that way. I had to know where the next campground was because I was just flying by the seat of my pants, with no reservations for anything. The map was very accurate. Every place they showed there was supposed to be a campground, there was indeed a campground there. The map never left me hanging with regard to the location of the campgrounds, and where I wanted to camp for the night once it got toward the end of the day.I found the marked roads to also all be accurate. You won't get lost with this map. And the paper that it is made out of is quite durable. I was constantly folding and unfolding it in various ways the whole time, depending on what part of the country I was in. It's as if there was no wear and tear done to the map at all the whole time, and I was there for ten days.It also has little icons to indicate where museums and historical points of interest are located, which also came in handy. No doubt about it, this map was valuable and enhanced my Iceland vacation. Helped me do things properly and efficiently.

Great map if you are going to drive around Iceland on the ring tour. The names are hard to pronounce and find, but once you do, you've got it! After your trip you will be glad you had this map as a souvenir. I suggest you draw the ring through the places you spend the most time.I will say this about Iceland: I am from Washington state, where we have about 6 volcanoes that are 12-14,000' tall. We have the ocean. We have basalt covered lands in eastern Washington. We have great seafood in Seattle. We have lands covered with sphagnum moss. If you live in the US, you can visit Yellowstone to see geysers all over the place, where in Iceland they have one that is lame. The culture is very different, and I had a great tour guide in Iceland whom I would highly recommend. The barren landscape is like the tundra but it doesn't have the same kinds of plants all over the place. The bottom line: If you live in the US, you can see everything I saw in Iceland and more in the US without having to spend as much money. If you live in Britain, you need a vacation in Iceland (it's only an hour by plane). But if you live in the US, we have more interesting territory close by, and then we have Alaska and Canada. Also, after I went to Iceland I went to Ilulissat, Greenland to see the Ice Fjord, which was a highlight of my outdoor life. It's expensive, but worth it.

Great map, has all the gas stations also. Very good quality

We used this map on a 9-day self-guided tour of Iceland. It was great to have. Some people might think that in the age of GPS, printed maps have become obsolete. These are people that haven't visited Iceland, or later became lost and were never seen again. Once you get outside of Reykjavik, the addresses become a bit insane. There's no such thing as "22A Laugavegur Street, Reykjavik Iceland", instead it's something like "Hof Guesthouse Blonduos 541." Have fun putting that in your GPS! Here are some pro's and con's.Pro's:The map is water resistant. This is important in Iceland.It's fold resistant. That is, it withstood a lot of folding without tearing or fading.Almost every farm, village, and attraction is listed.The map delineates between paved and unpaved roads, and also Icelandic "F" roads. This is important if you are travelling in a vehicle that does not have all-wheel-drive, because a lot of roads that the Icelanders consider to be for "passenger vehicles" are actually only passable during two months of the year.Con's:You can't see the entire country on one side. This requires annoying flopping around of the map as you cross over. This happens more then you might think because none of the roads in Iceland go in straight lines.It's not clear what units some of the measurements are in. I eventually concluded that elevation markings were in meters.There were a few places (okay, maybe two) where the way that the roads intersected was not consistent with how they were drawn on the map.

I used this for planning side trips, as well as an actual road map in the car, especially for times when I had no internet signal. It doesn’t show every small road, but if you are renting a car you are not supposed to use those roads anyway. And it does show a lot of the “F” roads you are supposed to avoid.

Touring Iceland can be done just using a phone - cell coverage is unbelievably great…but a fold out , heavy tear proof map provides context that map apps can’t deliver. It doesn’t have all the tiny gravel roads but has every one needed to get you to your destination!

Map came in very handy when navigating Iceland roads. Loved that it was water resistant too.
