    I recently got my hands on this map, and have found it incredibly helpful for exploring and discovering the architectural wonders of Los Angeles. The maps within The Wandering Series are not only practical but also highly graphically pleasing thus making them excellent choices for gifts to friends and relatives embarking on trips to cities covered by the series. I can not wait to use this map of LA in my future trip there, and plan my trips around the architectural highlights of the city. I appreciate Avontuura for creating such user-friendly and visually appealing maps.

    This map with Architectural highlights grouped by region is a useful guide proposing a way to visit a city, and choreograph the experience. I intend to keep it close at hand while I visit Los Angeles for the first time. I love this guide! Thank you for this treasure.
