2 out of 5 stars Only Useful as an Overview   February 19, 2005
 14 out of 15 found this review helpful

This map will only be useful to you if you don't have any other basic resources, like a general world atlas or travel guides, at home.
The main map itself shows the entire South Pacific region, with country boundaries clearly marked, but individual islands reduced to the size of dots.
Major islands are shown on inset maps, however even these are still tiny - you will find bigger, more detailed, and more accurate maps of the same islands (and many more) in travel guidebooks to this region by Lonely Planet or Moon.
In short, unless you just want a general map to hang on your wall, don't waste your money on this one!



5 out of 5 stars amazing map   December 16, 2004
 4 out of 10 found this review helpful

I've been looking for a map for a long time of Oceania because after college I'm settling on an island by myself in search for waves. I could'nt believe all the islands I've never known about. If I was to purchase one map in conjunction with nautical charts, it would be this one.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent coverage of Melanesia, Micronesia, & Polynesia   August 2, 1999

This map covers an area of the world that is not well represented in most world atlases. Excellent index. Fifty-one detailed inset maps.
