Dominican Republic & Haiti | Santo Domingo, Port-au-Prince [Map] Yusuke Ujimiya; Mark Ramsay; Béatrice Montredon and Lan Joyce

We spent a week on the lovely island of Hispaniola, home to the Dominican Republic & Haiti, last December. We spent several days driving the highways, checking our information, & this new edition is the result. Frankly, we were surprised how accurate the digital artwork was (& is); this is the first time that we have been able to ground-truth a map shortly before printing, & after updating. We did discover one new toll highway, & we learned that Santa Domingo floods rather easily during heavy rains. We now show a lot of what I would consider to be local farm roads; they exist, but it is doubtful any tourist would use them. We also discovered a new motorway-like highway that is under construction between Santiago & Puerto Plata, but we are leaving it off the map for now as work has just begun & we saw little indication that it would be completed. We can add it if we see progress. The Haiti side of the sheet remains a work in progress. There are now five border crossings with Dominican Republic & a lot of cross-border traffic, but the road network in Haiti remains quite basic. We have added hundreds of small local roads to our artwork; most are simple dirt tracks. We have also added a series of top attractions for Haiti, highlighted in red, & a separate series for Dominican Republic. Although this could be considered a significant update, we have retained the same ISBN (& price) for this edition.
