 Errors or unclear maps September 17, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I ended up with three maps of Madeira. A local free one, one from the Sunshine walking/touring guide and this one. I attempted to use this map to navigate around Funchal but the motorway junctions are not numbered and not all of them appear on the map. Navigating to Monte was a challenge since junctions 11 & 12 are missing. I would not recommend this map for driving although it may be ok for buses. One plus point though, it was the only map to indicate the old road to Curral das Freiras is closed.
 A useful map.. June 7, 2008

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. 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.

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.
