Comparing three maps of Cuba2
"International Travel Maps: Cuba" (ISBN 155341184-6) is the best of the three maps. It's the largest scale (1:650,000) and has the most detail. It's also waterproof. The only downside is that it lacks city maps, showing only Santiago and Havana. But the same company has an excellent map of Havana (ISBN 155341643-0), so I recommend buying these two maps, plus a guidebook with good maps of the smaller towns, such as the Moon Handbook, by Christopher Baker.

"Nelles Map: Cuba" (ISBN 978-3-86574-022-9) is a close second. The scale is smaller (1:775,000) but you still see good detail. The topographic coloring is better than the ITMB map, shwowing the mountains more clearly. And it has more detail maps of the smaller cities.

"Globetrotter: Cuba" (ISBN 1-84537-310-3) is the worst. The scale is 1:1,380,000 (that's one million, three hundred eighty thousand). Little detail is shown, and no topographic coloring. It has many city maps but they aren't as good as the city maps in the Moon guidebook.
