Reader Reviews
The ITP map is generally reliable in my experience, but the closer you look the less help it is. Don't count on it alone for back country travel or, for that matter, for suburban areas. It is not like an AAA map in the USA. It won't, for example, tell you if there's a bridge or a ford at remote stream crossings. That said, I have not found a better map of CR. The National Geographic map is good, too -- Better in some ways, especially topographic detail, but omits many tiny villages, etc found on the ITP. I now carry both.
