Comments about Dublin Destination City Map :
The DestinationMap series is still the most user-friendly map around. Places of interest are very easy to locate. The graphic design in ingenious. However, when I received my Dublin map (2011), I was disappointed that the map was not laminated as previously purchased versions were. I called NG and was told that all Destination Maps are now printed on their "tear-resistant, waterproof paper."
I am sure this is an improvement over the paper quality of other maps, but the durability definitely went down compared to lamination. Paper can still be crushed or creased and corners can still get dog-eared in a backpack. As a practical consumer and experienced traveller, I think lamination would be worth an extra charge. Additionally, NG's product description needs to be updated to reflect the fact that the maps are no longer laminated.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

From National Geographic:We are no longer laminating our maps; instead they are printed on a special tear-resistant and waterproof paper. This makes the map lighter and easier to handle. We are still in the transition phase so some of our maps are still laminated. Thanks for bringing to our attention that we need to update this detail.
