 Great travel map Nov 30, 2007
By Joshua J. Kellogg
Travel maps can be hard to find for some of the more remote, less-populated regions of the world that are not popular tourist destinations. In prepping for a trip to Ecuador, I wanted a detailed map that could show me the country. Borch came through. The map is waterproof, detailed with roads, cities, even elevations and environmental information. It set me up perfectly for the trip, and I'm 100% satisfied with it. Highly recommended.

Great map Jan 10, 2007
By Joel R. Savitch
Ecuador is a great country. Unfortunately there are very few good maps of the Country. This particular map was not only accurate, but durable and very reusable.

 This map is of poor quality and outdated. It will get you lost! Nov 16, 2010
By C. RAND
"CR"
I bought this map and thought it would be a good map for exploring Ecuador. Unfortunately it is very out of date and some of the roads it lists do not exist. Other roads are paved which the map shows as dirt roads. This makes it very difficult to plan a trip. I bought competing maps, the one from Freytag is very good and so is the ITMB. The other problem with this Borch Map is that the lamination is of very poor quality and disintegrated after a short time of use.

Hard to find maps like these. Jul 12, 2007
By Francia
You'd be amazed at how hard it is to find a good map of Ecuador that is not unreasonably priced yet alone functional and reader friendly. Especially if you LIVE in Ecuador. And I was wary of actually receiving it in the mail in a timely manner. But the map arrived quickly and am very pleased with it.

Better than ITMB, except for showing elevation. Jul 21, 2010
By Joseph Morris
I just spent a couple of weeks biking around Ecuador, with this map and the Ecuador Map by ITMB. This was the better of the two maps for two reasons: (1) it's laminated; (2) it has several map insets of cities, including two of Quito and central Quito that I found particularly useful.
The ITMB's upside is that it had more color shading for elevation that better demonstrates topography; the Borch map only has monochrome elevation shading and pinpoint heights for peaks, etc. That made the ITMB helpful for planning biking routes, where elevation change was important.
The ITMB is also at a larger scale (1:700,000 for ITMB as opposed to 1:1,000,000 for Borch) but that did not seem to make much difference in the detail (towns, roads) on the maps. The scale difference is more pronounced the far Oriente, which is on the backside of the Borch map at 1:2,000,000 -- the main (1:700,000) map cuts off about 25km east of the Tena-Puyo-Baeza road. This seems like a fair compromise to allow the extra real estate devoted to city inserts, because number of people going that far east is pretty low.
So, although I'm glad I had both maps, if I had to choose one, it'd be the Borch.
