Easy to work with
In Portland there are a few streets I can't find, so an index of some kind would be good. I have a couple of these Streetwise Maps now and find them a joy to use. But generally they are so easy to work with - no complicating folding schemes - that I would recommend getting one today. I also have an Artwise Map of London by the same company. Terrific!.

We use this all of the time
It has nice detail of downtown. This is a great portable map of the general area. It is waterproof. It folds and unfolds easily. You can definitely use it while driving or walking downtown and you don't want to unfold some giant thing. It lists all of the stops of the MAX light-rail. It is not a detailed map of every street in the area but it shows you the major roads and highways in the area and good detail of downtown. It even tells you which are one-way streets and which direction they go, the numbers for freeway exits, and points out some highlights like the Japanese Gardens and Powells City of Books. If you want a detailed map of the entire area I suggest "The Thomas Guide 2006 Portland, Oregon: Street Guide (Portland Metro Area Street Guide and Directory)". The Thomas Guide is not good for a quick overview of the area but it details every little tiny road and between it and a phone book you can find anything. I recommend getting both.

Don't buy for house hunting!!! Its missing streets.
I agree its OK for walking around the metro area,
but if you're doing some serious 'locating' such as house or
apartment hunting then get the Rand McNally Portland EasyFinder. This map is missing many many streets both in the index and the actual map.
It, too, is lamenated ISBN 0-528-99102-7.
