Map Scale = 1:1,525,000 Sheet Size = 37.75" x 25.5" Folded Size = 4.25" x 9.25" Review: Great Map with water resistive paper - You know how travel maps kind of fall apart after about a week of use? Always at the fold and usually deleting a town or site you wanted to visit as it was on the fold line? This map doesn't do that. The paper is high quality and water resistant. It held up for two months of travel in Colombia including about a month of daily use during car travel. Covers the entire country with good detail. One drawback is no detailed maps of the larger cities. I received lots of compliments from the locals who asked where I got the map. Recommended. Review: No batteries or charging cable required! - It's a map like the old days ... flat, paper (waterproof), colorized, with names of places and features. Will be really useful for our trip to remote areas for bird watching. No batteries or cable or wifi required!!
