 By far the best San Francisco map for your pocket or bag May 30, 2009

I have about 5 of these, so no matter where I am, I can find one or have one to loan out. They are simply great maps of San Francisco. There are certainly maps with more detail, but Streetwise has engineered to put more information in a small space than you can imagine.
And the more you look, the more you realize is there. I wanted parking in downtown, and lo and behold on the downtown inset, parking garages are shown. If you know anything about San Francisco, the icons on the map give you references and make it very easy to better see context. The text is easy to read. We abuse these to death and none of them have complained or gotten rough around the edge yet. My only complaint is I wish it covered a larger area, but it does exactly what it's supposed to - it covers the 49 square mile area called San Francisco.
All of the tourist attractions are on the map. All of the main landmarks are on the map. All of the streets and street directions and MUNI and Cable Cars are on the map. You can hold it in the car and actually read it, which you can't do with any paper map on the planet. It shows so much more context than Maps on my iPhone because you can see the whole city at a glance. Well, half at a time. It's split between the north and south half of the city on the two sides of trifold plastic sheets.
If you're looking for a map of SF that you can carry with you always, this is the one. You will want other resources, possibly guidebooks if you are a tourist, the Not For Tourist Guide if you live in the City as I do, and possibly better paper maps when you really want to see detail around the kitchen table, and Google Earth and it's street level views which allow you to walk around if you are sitting in front of a computer. But this map is the one I use 95% of the time, and I has never let me down.
This map rocks! October 6, 2007

I live in SF and am so dependent on these maps that we have two copies in our household. I have one older copy, which doesn't have a BART map, but still was good enough to cause dependence. This new version with the BART map and the topographical coloring is even better! If you're going to be a tourist, this is much more detail than you'll need and you won't have to worry about crinkling and tearing as with other maps because of the hard paper and lamination.
worked great for my vacation May 22, 2008

I stayed at The Red Vic in Haight-Ashbury, a little off the beaten path. This map and my weeklong muni pass paid for themselves a gabillion times. The map worked great; I was never lost. The way they depict the touristy section of Lombard Street makes me giggle.
BEST MAPS . . . period. April 28, 2008

These "streetwise" laminated maps are the best there is to get you around any city. Walking OR driving. We wore this one out on our recent trip to San Francisco.
This is a fantastic map but beware.................. November 15, 2009

As always, the Streetwise map is fantastic and most useful throughout our recent visit to San Fran. We used the public transportation (MUNI) extensively and map's markings of all the bus/subway/trolley/cablecar lines were very helpful. Just beware that there are extensive MUNI changes coming on December 5th, 2009 (due to severe budget shortfall and subsequent cuts), so some of the descriptions will no longer be valid. I am sure that Streetwise will have new version out soon enough but this current version will be outdated very soon. Too bad, but it's not Streetwise's fault.
