Madeira Bus & Touring Map 1:25.000 SD76th. ed. (2019)

Madeira on a double-sided map from Discovery Walking Guides combining a contoured and GPS compatible map of the island highlighting hiking trails and access to various locations by public transport, with on the reverse a map of Greater Funchal with local bus routes, plus extensive information on the island’s bus services.

On one side the whole island is shown at 1:60,000 on a map which is a reduced version of the publishers’ mapping at 1:40,000 (available separately either on paper or waterproof). Topography in this version is presented by contours at 100m with additional altitude colouring plus plenty of spot heights. The highlighting for hiking trails distinguishes between routes described in the publishers’ “Madeira Walks” guides to the island and other trails, plus indicates particularly vertiginous sections. Symbols mark locations of selected rural hotels and bars/restaurants, campsites, picnic areas, viewpoints, etc. Finely graded road network indicates narrow roads and dirt tracks, and shows locations of petrol stations. The map has latitude and longitude lines at 5’ intervals and is indexed. In this version, the map also has additional overprint indicating bus numbers serving various locations, plus several panels with notes and/or timetables for Sam and Rodoeste services. 

On the reverse is a road map of the Greater Funchal area with a locator index for 68 hotels. Additional panels provide timetable details for the country bus services operated by SAM Buses, Rodoeste Buses, Transportes Publicos Interurbana Servic, and Automoveis do Canico. Current 6th edition of this title also includes details of the 'Electric Eco' free buses operating in central Funchal along with the new 'Tourist Sightseeing' bus service. Further notes include information on using the bus services and details of the cable car services.
