Missing, Clumsy
What a disapointment! The main strength of Streetwise is the integration of Streets and Subways. I loved Streetwise Manhattan so I bought this. But Streetwise Brooklyn actually leaves off some subway stations! Ever try to mark up a laminated map to add a stop? Doesn't work, and neither does this map. And the north/south split just doesn't work for Brooklyn. Also, the trains to Brooklyn changed when the Manhattan bridge re-opened to subway traffic, so where's a new edition? Do get the Manhattan version, it's complete and works great, but skip Brooklyn.

True, plus...
The Streetwise Manhattan has little arrows on all the one way streets, and this is even more crucial for navigating in Brooklyn!

I would definitely pick out a map in a store and then buy it online if it's cheaper. To add to the criticism of this map, it does not have the directions of one way streets on it.

Streetwise Brooklyn
The text is small. This map was not at all helpful. It splits the borough in half vertically with one half on one side and the other half on the flip side of the map. I have found other maps that are much more user-friendly especially for individuals who are not very familiar with Brooklyn.
