Cozumel Maps/Recommendations

[kuma1720]

I will be renting a car during my June stay at Coz and wondered if anyone can recommend a road map or a traveler's book that will help me get around.
I understand that the driving is easy, but downtown must be a bit of a maze??
Thank you

this is one of the best maps IMO...I don't leave home without it and I have been to Cozumel many times Can-Do Maps and travel guides (http://www.cancunmap.com/) just click on Cozumel

BTW it is better to park and just walk around the plaza/downtown area

Thank you just ordered the map.
Once again great advice.

For a smaller, waterproof, and ripproof map of Cozumel ,I like the Frankos map for $6. Side two has a nice downtown map.

Franko's Cozumel Dive Map (http://www.frankosmaps.com/Cozumel.htm)

Just ordered it too.

Heck, we've been to Cozumel several times but one can always see new spots.

Thanks for the link, Ann.

The car rental agency can give you a decent map. It's not all that difficult conceptually - north/south traffic generally has the right of way over east-west traffic (stop signs at every corner) and every second street is (generally) one-way traffic (alternating direction) until about 30th. And there is no parking during the day anywhere within about 3 or 4 blocks of the square. Of course, I'm cycling and do pretty much whatever I please. ;^)

The maps from Laura and Perry are the best ones out there. If it has to do with hotels, restaurants, tourist attractions and nightlife, it is probably on their maps. We just got the 08 maps for PDC and Riviera Maya, they are superb!

You people BUY maps? How cool.

If you get lost just go west until you run outa land. :rofl3:

I know, my bad. But...You need to know the traffic patterns, and an idea of where you're at.

Pick up a map from your hotel. :D

I know, my bad. ;)

I just drive around aimlessly until I find where I need to go. Pretty easy place to drive around

This has been my approach, and it's served me well. Sometimes it's even better when I DON"T find what I was seeking. I've found some of my favorite places that way.

Try doing that with a nervous wife next to you.
I'll take the map and make her happy.

I can't, at least without getting in trouble with my wife (who is not nervous).

There's nothing wrong with using a good map. I just like to find things that aren't on the map.

Yep. All the good places are far away from the main street along the shore. It's cool to drive around at night and see all the locals eating at some packed local places.
