Rating:  Summary: Perfectly serviceable map of Iraq Review: Bought this to be able to follow news reports. It has towns, cities, roads, railways, political divisions, contour lines and color coding, oilfields (though not very detailed).Does not have: ethnic divisions, former no fly zones, any indication of how important the port of Umm Qasr is (other than the hint that the railway line terminates there.) Net: good choice for following events in Iraq. Probably also useful if you are going there on a driving tour (are you crazy?)

Rating:  Summary: The best of a weak collection of available materials Review: This product is useful for area familiarization for the American on his or her way to Iraq, the best of three different maps I ordered. A good reference for the lay of the land of the entire country, but no detailed inserts of cities other than central Baghdad. The map is printed on only one side, so there would have been more than enough space to cover the provincial cities. The ITM Baghdad map is not quite so worthwhile, almost no detail whatsoever, but a handy sketch of the main districts of the city. I had hoped to find maps with the Arabic script place names alongside the English, but perhaps that was too much too hope for.
