This is my favorite map for the Washington, DC area. It's laminated and folds easily, so it won't rip or tear, and is easy to wipe off when you inevitably spill your coffee on it :) It's also pretty comprehensive, and shows the major landmarks plus some other sights of interest (hotels, parks etc.). It clearly shows the highways and roads into town, as well, which is very useful when trying to navigate the confusing byways of Woodley Park or the Capitol, not to mention the awful roundabouts. All in all, it never failed me, and if I still lived there I would be keeping this map!
