Durable, laminated, double-sided map with tourist information and street plans - one of the many handy-sized Flexi Maps by this publisher, impressive for the amount of information packed in a small format. The main maps (Trinidad at 1:281,000 and Tobago at 1:140,000) use subtle hill-shading to give an impression of the general relief, with selected peak heights indicated on the latter. Road detail includes some tracks, and some road names are stated. Major sea ferry connections are marked. Administrative district boundaries and national parks are marked and symbols denote landmarks and tourism features, eg. airports, petrol stations, beaches, waterfalls, various watersport/recreation sites, points of interest, visitor centres, hotels, nature reserves, golf courses, viewpoints, etc. No latitude and longitude lines are marked.
Two insets show street plans of central Port-of-Spain (1:22,500) and Scarborough (1:5,600). Detail on these includes one-way streets, bus stations, car parks, notable buildings, embassies, hotels, churches, information centres, landmarks, museums, post offices, sites of interest. Also included is a 1:7,855,000 general map of the Lesser Antilles.
The maps are indexed for islands, towns, points of interest, districts, streets, hotels, embassies, and public buildings, as appropriate for the scale and level of detail. Throughout the coverage 10 major attractions are highlighted and provided with brief descriptions. Some general notes for tourists are also included e.g. public transport matters, money, health, telecommunications, climate & tourist information resources.
