Convenient, but needs to be updated
I had no problems getting around, but after multiple trips to the city I would recommend buying a map once you're in the city. I purchased this in 2003 for a trip later that year. I spotted a minor error with the subway listings, and they list a non-existent green space in the Annex neighborhood. . . I asked a passerby and they had no idea where it could be! The TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) has free, to-date-maps that are available in all the stations with agents. So do some booths at Pearson Airport. Still, the foldable, waterproof format is super-convenient. Just remember to pick up a more current map and carry the Streetwise one when you're walking around for general reference. .

Great, great, great
The fact that the map is laminated is a definite plus! This is something I can use over and over again, I even gave one as a gift to a friend who lives in Toronto and they love it as well!
. So easy to use! Although orienting yourself with North was a little challenging at 1st.

Wish I'd had this the last time I visited Hogtown...
. . you can bet I'll have it with me when I go back. The usual Streetwise quality is evident in this map; the only quibble I have with it is the rather odd orientation. Thanks to the fact that all Streetwise have to fit into their standard rectangle shape, and the somewhat unusual shape of Toronto means that in order to fit it in, it has to be oriented with north nowhere near "up". Once you get used to that, though, you have a dandy, sturdy map of Toronto, including the TTC subway lines.
