2020 MALLSMART WASHINGTON DC is so legible you will instantly understand the National Mall and how it connects to other parts of the District and Old Town Alexandria. You get God's perspective on Monument City as well as the minute details. This 18th Century city grid with grand diagonal avenues designed by Pierre L'Enfant is a metaphor for the division of power in the Republic. A right triangle with Pennsylvania Avenue as hypotenuse and grand connector between the Executive (White House) and the Legislature (Congress) with the Judiciary (Supreme Court) backing up to Congress on Capitol Hill. The Washington Monument describes the triangle's Western point and serves as your compass needle to navigate the Capital.
2020 MALLSMART WASHINGTON DC includes a stunning dimensional Mall detail of the central city from Arlington National Cemetery through Foggy Bottom, Federal Triangle, Judiciary Square, Penn Quarter, Chinatown, Downtown, the East End and Capitol Hill. Restrooms and concessions are clearly marked. Separate Beltway and Metro DC maps insure you have everything you need for a successful trip. While politics in the Capital may be petty and divisive, the riches of art, science and culture offered in its museums almost all of them free are generous, conciliatory and un-equalled anywhere else. The hot ticket in town is the new African American Museum of History and Culture. Its bronze colored corona architecture boldly breaks the mold of the mostly white neo-classicist structures on the Mall and offers an intriguing perspective on American history. On the West Mall history is made manifest in the placement of the MLK Memorial where Dr. King stares down Jefferson with Lincoln's backing.
2020 MALLSMART WASHINGTON DC map scale of 19,500 makes you feel you are there with 3D buildings illustrations as your compass. All Metro stops are marked by their respective line in context right on the main map and on a separate subway overview so you know both the local details and understand the larger system. Stephan Van Dam, the map designer and publisher has mapped the Capital for the Smithsonian, The National Gallery and the National Park Service. We also publish a series of Presidential History Maps Lincoln, Jefferson and Washington as well as WDC Pop up Map.
2020 MALLSMART WASHINGTON DC maps are updated at least twice a year and are more current than any other map available. Its film lamination is extra durable and will last you for your next trip. A customer recently suggested our maps are too good but we like quality that lasts. Simplicity reigns supreme to make complex cities clear and understandable. Our typography creates character and reveals the true bones of the vertical city. VanDam uses a letter grid to identify locations on maps - no confusing and cluttering K-28 or V-34s - its just the city from A-Z. Our covers map the icons of each city and turn them into collectible graphic art. Each sleek and laminated city map package opens to 24" x 9" and then easily folds down to 4" x 9" to snuggly fit into a shirt pocket.

"There is a detailed map of the mall area on one side, with everything clearly labeled, so that would be very helpful for visitors, but even the broader street map on the other side covers only the mall area, west to Georgetown, and north only as far as Dupont and Logan circles. Even most of NW is missing (Cleveland Circle, Rock Creek Park, the zoo, Mount Pleasant are all out of bounds), to say nothing of the east side of the city. So it is not useful for a resident to keep on hand in the car. I was looking for a replacement for my out-of-date Gousha Fastmap, which is the same size but covered from National Airport to Silver Spring and east as far as Gallaudet, but this isn't it. What it does cover is done well. Perhaps with GPS nobody wants a handy street map anymore--except me."

- Used this many times before and during our trip. Very useful. FYI, go to the USDA cafeteria for a full, flavorful, health-conscious buffet that satisfies any dietary restrictions through Wing 3 on Independence Ave. for food. Not much on the Mall.
- Went on a trip to DC a couple weeks ago and used this map everyday. It is well marked and easy to read and has a map of the metro lines on it as well as the streets and attractions.
- Perfect for a trip to DC. I've had other pocket maps that were disappointing, but this provided the right detail and was readable. The included DC Metro map was very handy during our trip.
- We used this map for a week of sightseeing in Washington DC. It was extremely helpful and was the only map we needed. Being laminated was a big plus. If you have problems with fine print, you may want to bring along a magnifying glass. Would we buy it again or recommend it to friends? Yes.
- I won't actually be using it until May when we go out there, but in the mean time it is nice to be able to look at it to see where things are and I can even mark on it where the geocaches are and I can plan out our 'route' ahead of time. Using the QR code was nice too to see what events were going to be going on when we will be there.
- Helped out wonderfully!! If you stay at a hotel in DC, they give you a similar map only much bigger and not laminated. This one is easy to open and fold up, brochure style, and can take a beating! I will be saving this for future DC adventures, or to pass onto family or friends that will be heading there sooner. So happy I purchased this map for our trip!!

- I bought this for my day trip to DC coming up soon. I was recently in Philadelphia and ran my phone battery dead twice using the maps on the phone to get around. This seems like a better option instead using my phone to get around. The maps seems to be laid out nicely with a heavy plastic coating. My was a little dinged up from shipping, but that's not the manufactures fault, that's on .
