Product Description
An excellent map of the island of Oahu in Hawaii, perfect for visitors. The map uses shaded relieve to indicate the topography so that the mountains stand out clearly. Mapped at a scale of 1:150,000 (1" to 2.5 miles), the roads, beaches and urban areas show up clearly. Major tourist sites are sown as are recreation sites such as golf courses, camping areas and body surfing beaches. Seabird sanctuaries and nature reserves are also shown, as are resort areas. Inset maps at more detailed scales show Downtown Honolulu, Waikiki, Kane'ohe, Kailua, La'ie, and the Honolulu region. Details on the insets include hotels, public buildings, Gemples and Shopping areas. Legend is in English, German and French.

 The Best Map Of Honolulu And Oahu Available November 23, 2004

I have used several maps of Honolulu and Oahu, but without question this is the best of the bunch. Not only is this map detailed and current, it is logical and complete. There is an overall map of Oahu, and several smaller inset maps of key places including Honolulu, Waikiki, Kaneohe, the Mokapu Peninsula, Laie, and Mamala Bay (including the huge Ala Wai Harbor). The Honolulu map is very detailed and continues far enough to the West to cover the airport and the publicly accessible parts of Pearl Harbor. Note that this map, unlike many others, uses the traditional Hawaiian spellings complete with accents and pronunciation marks, which makes it the ultimate in accuracy, although when comparing it with many more anglicized works, the spellings may differ slightly.
This map is without question the best overall map for navigating the sometimes very convoluted (and busy) roads of Oahu: if I could only take one map to Oahu with me, this would be the one. I highly recommend this map to anyone traveling to Oahu.

I always buy a map of where ever I am vacationing before I plan to leave. It helps to plan the vacation better! This was a very good map for my trip, and it was easy to fold and unfold in the car if I wanted to find certian places or go somewhere I wasnt planning. Yes a GPS is a great thing, but having a map to lay on the table the morning you are driving around, to look over with your coffee, well that makes a trip more fun.

Having never been to Honolulu or Oahu the map was invaluable. We became completely confident because of the helpful map.

Thank goodness I finally found this Nelles Map a month before my trip to Oahu! It honestly was the only thorough map I found for this island in 8 months of searching both Hawaii visitor sites and book companies. This map gave great detail and was not so miniscule that I had to squint to read it. The only drawback (I felt) was the too large hard cover. The firmness of the cover was fine-it was just too large to squeeze into compact luggage pieces or vehicle cubbies. (This was my lone reason for withholding a star.)
side note-I had located the Kauai and Big Island sister maps months before and used all 3 maps daily on our trip. The only map I found to offer better detailing of downtown areas was the Hawaiian airlines map-and they only offered ones for Kauai and the Big Island. All that said, my Nelles maps are the ones I have kept for return trips to Hawaii.

This map was very helpful. The description is not very complete. Basically the map has very detailed areas, Honolulu, Laie, and Kaneohe, Kailua. If you want detailed roads in other areas there is only a general overview. But, overall very clear and got us around just dandy!
