Glitz and glamour typically describe the most populous metropolis in California, as millions flock to its sunny beaches and star-lit scenery every year, but LA is also one of the most prominent museum destinations in the US and a mecca of modern architecture.
Los Angeles County encompasses not only the center of LA, but also several separate communities that ring the city like individual jewels in a necklace. Localities like Santa Monica, Hollywood and Bel Air, etc. each have their own atmosphere and attraction for resident and visitor alike, linked by a labyrinth of weaving highways and criss-crossing freeways. Of course the legendary LA traffic jams can make it feel as though every resident and visitor is on the road at the same time.
That’s when the LA freeway map inset will enable you to take the next exit and find an alternative route to your destination. You’ll easily find your way from Malibu out to the Valley and back to Manhattan Beach. Detailed insets of Santa Monica/Venice, Long Beach Harbor, Pasadena, Downtown LA and LAX all feature hotels, sites, educational and government locations as well as the LA Metro system.

Insufficient
I don’t like this map. It doesn’t cover the USC area and the print is too small. It also doesn’t extend far enough northward.
This map is great! It includes the metro area of Los Angeles, Santa Monica beach -> Downtown (West->East), and from the Santa Monica Mountains/Franklin Ave to the 10 Freeway (North -> South). This is a very popular and dense area including the following communities: “Westside”, Santa Monica, Venice, Westwood, UCLA, Rancho Park, Cheviot Hills, Brentwood, Bel Air, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Hollywood, Sunset Strip, Wilshire, Hancock Park, Park LaBrea, Miracle Mile, Cathay Circle, Midtown, Koreatown, and Downtown LA. Plus, there is a smaller freeway map that includes the entire county of L.A., from Thousand Oaks/Malibu on the Northwest to Orange County on the Southeast. If you are visiting L.A., or if you live in L.A., it should help you get around, and figure out where you are. It includes major hotels, metro/subway stops, hospitals, parks, museums, golf courses, studios, colleges, etc. It is a wonderful size (just right), and is very durable (plastic coated). I am buying additional copies for family members! The only thing you need to keep in mind is that there is not “detailed information” for the entire vastness that is L.A., but rather the communities mentioned above. Great for students (UCLA), tourists to Hollywood/L.A., and locals. Detailed information around USC is not on the map because it is located south of the 10 freeway. I have many maps of L.A., and this is the one I always use, and the one my friends want to have!

Street stupid
This map was compact, but hard to read and not very helpful with either the downtown Los Angeles area or surrounding communities.
This map of LA includes detailed maps of all the essential areas you’re likely to want to visit. It even has the location of major hotels and attractions on it. The overview map of LA is also good for information at a quick glance. All of this is made even more useful and handy by being packaged in such a relatively small and DURABLE laminated map (and it folds up nice and small too!). This map will be with me at all times on my upcoming trip to LA.
UPDATE: Just got back from a week in L.A. and this map was a true lifesaver… perfect, spot-on, with all the right landmarks and coverage of just about all the most common areas you may visit. Within two days, the map helped me feel like I was an old-hand at the L.A. streets. Study it ahead of time, too!

Los Angeles Map
Although accurate, this compact version of the Los Angeles map’s print was so small that even with glasses I still couldn’t read it clearly so I wouldn’t advise using it unless…
Navigating the streets and highways of Los Angeles can be daunting. “Streetwise Los Angeles” is fun, colorful, easy to read and an absolute must for anyone visiting the city for the first time.

MAP TO THE CITY OF ANGELS
I love L.A., but getting around the city, even for a native can be very arduous, especially if you get into the hollywood hills.

Streetwise LA
I am an avid fan of Streetwise maps. They are handy to carry and waterproof. Before visiting cities, I use a permanent marker to locate my hotel, places of interest, subway/bus…

Useless
Do not waste money. Small laminated map, expensive, need a magnified glass to read it. You won’t find any street there. Better pick-up a free map at in the metro area.

So helpful
I love these little laminated maps, and try to buy one whenever I’m visiting a new city. This one was absolutely indispensable for my trip last winter to Santa Monica, CA.
