Don’t waste your money (or your luggage allowance)! The free visitor’s map that we picked up in the arrivals hall of Jersey airport was much more useful than this waste of paper. Having bought this directly off the Ordnance Survey website, I was under the impression that this was one of their products but it turned out to be published by the State of Jersey with a similar key. A blend of greens makes it difficult to distinguish small roads from footpaths, while cycle routes aren’t numbered or displayed at all. Places of interest seem to be disguised in a weird black font in a blue box which seems to just blend into the map and makes them difficult to find rather than the traditional star system that’s used in the OS Explorer series maps. Also, there's no online version and country pubs aren’t displayed at all. The attached map of St. Helier is unnecessarily huge and looks more like a map for the town planner rather than a leisure one. The whole thing needs to be re-designed.
