 BEST single foldout map of the BIG ISLAND! November 27, 2006

I've just returned from visiting the BIG ISLAND of Hawaii. I looked at a lot of maps of the island that were ok but simply lacked detail. I came across this one on Hawaii itself. It folds out so you can see the entire island on a big scale all at once. It has enough detail to get you around to all the towns and major gotta-see-that tourist sites -- many you never heard of. There are separate enlarged panels detailing Kailua-Kona and Hilo. This is the map I wish I had when planning my trip.
You can find this map at gas stations, tourist shops (ABC & Hilo Hatties), KTA grocery stores, every Long's Drugs and heaven only knows where else on the island. Or, if you want to really plan your trip in advance -- get it now. You'll be glad you did. Mark it up with pen, ink, magic marker, etc. It's cheap (buy two and you have one to frame) and will save you time navigating around the Big Island.
BTW, the paper must have improved since 2004 -- I folded and refolded this map a few dozen times and it's still intact. Combine this with the guide book "Hawaii The Big Island Revealed: The Ultimate Guidebook" and you're well on your way to planning a great vacation!

I spent two weeks on the Big Island taking helicopter flying lessons at the Kona airport. I kept this map in the rental car and referred to it daily, then gave it away at the end of the trip to the helicopter school for other students to use. Very useful and clear.

An unbelievably good choice partnering this map with the guide book Hawaii the Big Island Trailblazer. way to go!! Thank you Amazon and the makers of these products.
When we got there we thought the island was one big blob of lava. It's trickey finding the pretty beaches. We relied on this duo. We've framed the worn out map with all its spots, tears and pen scribbles.

It was handy to look at the big picture to estimate how long it would take us to drive from one place to another. The topo features very interesting. Our map purchase was worth it for preplanning the trip.
Best Big Isle Book! May 25, 2007

My main squeeze and I are moving back to the islands after I graduated from UH-Manoa on O'ahu. We'll be inhabiting the beautiful Big Island this time, and this book was the ideal pre-requisiste reading material. It breaks the island into sections and details the must-see spots to hike, bike, snorkel, surf and drive, as well as providing important information on the culture, the language and native populations. This book is a must-buy for anyone who is planning to spend time that they hope will be qaulity on the Big Isle. :) You won't regret this purchase!
