For your best adventures, use the best map. Madeira's favourite map
just got a whole lot better. Now in its 10th edition including the
new Palheiro golf development, goodbye to the abandoned Ponta Pargo
golf course, final sections of the VE3 road, loads of minor road
updating especially in the south west. For hikers we have added
several new highlighted walking routes. Madeira Tour & Trail
Map is a large 960mm by 700mm double sided map sheet. Super-Durable
edition comes with a 2 year adventurous use guarantee. Specialist
concertina map folding means the 960mm by 700mm double sided map
folds quickly to its 235mm by 120mm pocket size. This most detailed
map of Madeira includes our 'Tour & Trail' level of detail
ranging from major roads to secondary roads to minor roads to
streets and camino rural narrow country roads, plus dirt roads and
walking trails. Altitude background colouring is designed to
clearly show the altitude range when travelling across the island
by car or on foot. 100 metre and 50 metre contours are clearly
shown on the map along with a large number of individual height
points and all of the official 'Trig' points. Tour & Trail
attention to detail is legendary as is our useful symbol range
including miradors, picnic areas, petrol stations, bar/restaurants
and parking areas where you can pull off the road safely. You will
easily identify springs, caves, sports grounds, cemetries, churchs,
chapels, lighthouses, towers and forts, camping areas, wind
turbines, hotels etc. For adventurers on foot Tour & Trail Maps
are researched and designed by hikers for use by hikers. Our
comprehensive gps ground surveys produce the best mapping available
but the value of this on the ground research becomes even more
important when you leave the tarmac. All of our DWG walking routes
are accurately gps surveyed giving you confidence in the accuracy
of our Tour & Trail Maps. Madeira Tour & Trail Map includes
all the walking routes from 'Madeira Walks' volumes 1 & 2 by
Shirley Whitehead highlighted in Red while other published walking
routes (printed guide books and reliable web publications) are
highlighted in Green. It all adds up to the most useful map of
Madeira that you can buy anywhere. In use maps have a very tough
life so you will appreciate our specialist concertina map fold that
allows you to quickly open the map, and more importantly fold it
back up to its pocket size after use. Paper maps will always suffer
from the repeated unfolding, folding to the section you want to
use, and then refolding. We recommend everybody to obtain our
Super-Durable editions printed with 100% oxygenation inks on
Polyart by the UK's leading map printer, which produces a map that
feels like silk but will stand up to the roughest treatment of
outdoor adventuring and yet fold up like new at the end of your
adventure. Tour & Trail Super-Durable Maps are more expensive
than paper maps, but represent better value as they produce a
lightweight map that feels like silk while being both water-proof
and incredibly tough so that after even the toughest of adventures
your Tour & Trail Super-Durable Map will fold up like new.
Digital editions of Madeira Tour & Trail Map for phone apps and
Garmin users are available on the dwgwalking website.
