Good All-Purpose Map
This map is quite sturdy. It includes both a road map of all of Denmark and on the reverse side a useful Copenhagen street map (including subway map)and inset maps of other cities. I found it helpful in planning my trip - I'm expecting it to serve well when we do our driving tour.

Ok map, good for Copenhagen, but not as good for rest of the coutry. Watch out for pick pockets!
I wasn't as happy with this map when I finally got to Denmark as I was when it arrived in the mail. At first glance it looks like a good map--lots of "stuff" like subway map, photos, detailed map of Copenhagen--but the regular map for driving the rest of the country wasn't as detailed as I needed. It was hard to find some of the villages and the road route numbers were either hard to see or weren't written on the map for some of the smaller routes. It was good for showing the castles/places of interest though. I much preferred my Hammond International Map for Norway and Sweden to this map when I was in Denmark, and wished I had the same sort of map in Denmark. IMPORTANT: Copenhagen doesn't look like a dangerous city, but you won't see any police presence (away on summer vacation?) and there is a very big pick pocket and bag theft problem there. I was told that Eastern European petty-theft criminals come in for the summer to steel from the tourists. Be very careful with your bags and things. Leave you valuables and passports at the hotel and keep your car keys and money in your front pants pocket or close on your body.

disappointed
For the price, I expected every little hamlet and village to be shown, but I still had to go to Mapquest to locate the two villages I needed to find...villages my ancestors came from...villages I hope to locate when we travel to Denmark this year.
