Madeira at 1:70, 000 is an indexed map with additional street plans & enlargements of popular regions on the reverse. The publisher has chosen to concentrate on creating a map which will primarily be of use for a tourist navigating between main points of interest as opposed to stressing more detailed cartography. National, main & secondary roads & tracks are extremely clearly marked, including roads with stretches through hill tunnels, & the ferry route & airport for the island are shown, as is the cable car north of Funchal. Cartography is provided by spot heights. Also included on the map is a small chart indicating average temperatures, levels of rainfall & hours of sunlight for each month for Funchal, a calendar of events throughout the year, a table indicating distances between main towns, some colour photographs & basic language tips. The map features street plans of central Funchal, Cidade Vila Baleira & Machico, as well as the area around Funchal, Porto Santo Island & a plan of the botanical gardens.
