Summary: Not that much detail
Comment: When I bought this product, other reviews led me to believe this would be a very dtailed map. It's not. We bought the Ordinance Survey Atlas. (65 pages of maps, spiral bound) Even that didn't have the level of detail needed to find some of the more obscure historic markers in the Dingle peninsula for instance. You won't get lost with the Rough Guide map, you won't necessarily be able to find all the sites of interest.

Comment: Although I haven't used this map yet for our trip to Ireland it looks like it would be a very good map to have while driving in Ireland.

Summary: two sided map
Comment: The map appears to be durable and has details.
But, the thing that I had difficulty with since only half of the country appears on either surface is there is no contiguous edge.
Trying to get distances (or directions) across the map boundry is needlessly complicated. Coming up from the south to the upper map edge and trying to continue to the north of the country means a)noting the horizontal coordinate at point of interest, b) rotating to the right and c)then looking for your coordinate at your point of crossing which is now at the bottom of the map. Far easier would have been to have the upper surface of the bottom half match up with the lower surface of the top map at the edge. Accessed by rotating top to bottom. Flip back and forth to try alternative routes. Horizontal position doesn't move.
Is this the first map that Rough has ever done?
Disappointed,
EEB

Summary: Indispensible!
Comment: We just returned from a two-week trip to Ireland, and this map was our constant companion. It survived rain, food spills and mud and helped us find our way all around the rural roads. It's the perfect size and scale; manageable, but including all the country roads and even some of the grassy lanes. Individual city steeet maps are not included. Even so, don't go to Ireland without this map!

Comment: This map was a wonderful addition to our trip. It gave enough detail on the back roads of Ireland that allowed us to find the most amazing places. Please us this map for the untraveled roads.
