 Great map February 13, 2008

A great map-- small and sturdy. Ideal for carrying around in your pocket or backpack as you explore Washington, DC. It will stand up to months, if not years, of use. Especially good for walkers.
Probably less good for drivers, who will find it too small to read easily while driving around and dodging other cars, tourist buses, bigwig motorcades, and distracted pedestrians.
For cyclists, this is a decent, but limited, choice. It doesn't cover much of the city beyond the mall, and it does not include bike route information or bike paths, which are essential for getting around the greater DC area. For pedaling around the downtown area, however, it is great.
Handy little thing! September 10, 2009

Fits in my wallet like a dream and folds out to show you the wonderful maze of the DC metro. It is laminated and really easy to use. Durable, portable, and overall, a really good buy. However - quick tip - I do use the Streetwise Washington, DC, Laminated City Center Street Map I bought a lot more. It has the same metro map integrated into it - so you do not need a separate one. So unless you are a lover of little pieces of very useful paper (maps etc) in places you always know you can access (wallet rather than handbag, cos you just might switch bags and forget it in the other one), then it may be a better buy to get the bigger map and save on this one. PS If you are a dude and want it to fit in your back pocket or wallet instead of walking around like a tourist with it stuck in the inside of your jacket - take this one - the other one will be too big.

If you are going to DC to see the sights on the mall and ride the Metro, this is $2 VERY well spent. Very handy, very compact.
If you want a driving map, get the larger DC area version: Streetwise Washington, DC, Laminated City Center Street Map
Great map for sightseeing in DC August 26, 2009
B. Jensen (Austin, TX USA)
This map is great for a sight-seeing trip to DC. It shows all the buildings on the mall, plus some other government buildings you may want to go to (like the bureau of printing and engraving). The shapes and sometimes names of most building are shown on each block not on the mall. Our hotel was shown on the map, so it was easy to orient ourselves.
There aren't many maps that show the metro lines/stops with streets superimposed. We were able to pinpoint where we were on the map and figure out if we should walk or take the metro and which metro stop was the closest to us.
The only problem that I had was that the print was pretty small; I wasn't carrying around my reading glasses so I had to occasionally show the map to my son to read something to me.
Helpful Mini-Map June 22, 2010

This was my second time to Washington DC and my first time with a Streetwise Map. This was so useful when we were in the downtown area and was so easy to carry. It folded up small enough that you could carry it in any pocket or your purse. It also included the Metro map which was useful since that was our main mode of transportation.
This was eligible for Amazon Prime 2 day free shipping which is wonderful.
