    What map?

    Can someone please advise me as to which is the best map to use for navigating around Orlando.

    I seem to recall a orange coloured map that was free that we may have picked up from a walmart or somewhere. This was the map that we found the best when we were out in Disney and as we have some friends soon to go out to Orlando I was hoping to advise them.

    Thanks Mark

    There are lots of basic maps in the free advertising mags in wal-mart but can't remember seeing any other free ones. We usually use the easyfinder maps you buy from wal-mart of $6.

    The best map we have found is the one that Dollar give out when you pick up the rental car.

    We have found the Dollar maps useful too but for more detail we bought a larger scale fold up map of the Greater Orlando Area. Ours is a UniversalMAP and we have found it very useful for navigating around the Disney area and Celebration. It was only about $6 from a garage

    Have fun finding your way around. You can find some interesting places when you are lost!

    You can always try the satnav

    The orange coloured free map you are thinking of is the ones from Tourist Information. You can pick one up at Prime outlet (formerly Beltz) or in the Florida mall.

    I think its the best for the attractions area as it shows the main routes.

    We normally use the orange central florida guide map as a rough guide map as it's not really correct. Good for the coupons as well. I prefer the pink orientation map a coupon magazine as they deal with specific areas. Don't often see them around now.

    You can download maps from [website link edited] but again they are only a rough guide and if it's there first trip a more detailed map may come in handy.

    We bought a small laminated Map from Walmart which cost us about $6. It folds up nice and compact and wipes clean.

    I like the sound of the laminated one. We'll look out for that one.

    They sell them near to the checkouts in Walmart and made by a company called Rand McNally.
