Glitz and glamour typically describe the most populous metropolis in California, as millions flock to its sunny beaches and star-lit scenery every year, but LA is also one of the most prominent museum destinations in the US and a mecca of modern architecture.

Los Angeles County encompasses not only the center of LA, but also several separate communities that ring the city like individual jewels in a necklace. Localities like Santa Monica, Hollywood and Bel Air, etc. each have their own atmosphere and attraction for resident and visitor alike, linked by a labyrinth of weaving highways and criss-crossing freeways. Of course the legendary LA traffic jams can make it feel as though every resident and visitor is on the road at the same time.

That’s when the LA freeway map inset will enable you to take the next exit and find an alternative route to your destination. You’ll easily find your way from Malibu out to the Valley and back to Manhattan Beach. Detailed insets of Santa Monica/Venice, Long Beach Harbor, Pasadena, Downtown LA and LAX all feature hotels, sites, educational and government locations as well as the LA Metro system.

Summary: "Wasn't what I expected"

The map had a lot of information - probably too much. There was so much on the map it was hard to follow - however, in retrospect, there is A LOT in LA to cover! I expected more landmarks to be clearly marked. Great for streets, not so much for landmarks.

Summary: "LA = Psycho, this Map = Sanity"

i bought this map when i first moved to LA 4 months ago. it is the only map that shows the 3-D buildings with accurate drawings. you can acutally see which way you are heading by looking at the face of the building and comparing it to the Streetwise map. i still carry it everywhere with me-it is IMPOSSIBLE to find parking otherwise! has saved me a fortune in meter costs and valet parking (LA's solution to non-existent parking lots. $40 a pop, usually).

LA is crazy and the traffic is un-godly. i use this map to take side-roads and avoid the highways (you will spend years of your life on the 405 and 10).

essential if you are moving to LA or just visiting. also has great detail of santa monica (which is how i found the great farmer's market and didn't pay $20 to park), venice, venice beach and all the great shoooooooooping.

Summary: "Insufficient"

I don't like this map. It doesn't cover the USC area and the print is too small. It also doesn't extend far enough northward.

Summary: "Street stupid"

This map was compact, but hard to read and not very helpful with either the downtown Los Angeles area or surrounding communities. I suggest the local auto club map would be a much better, low or no cost alternative. My wife and I buy many travel aides and do travel frequently, but this map, unfortunately was a waste of money.

Summary: "Los Angeles Map"

Although accurate, this compact version of the Los Angeles map's print was so small that even with glasses I still couldn't read it clearly so I wouldn't advise using it unless your eyesight is very good.
