New York Zip Code Map and GPS

I found a terrific article today at Retire in Paradise, about using a zip code map (usually downloaded from a website) and/or a handheld GPS for navigating your way around New York City’s crazy streets. I lived in Manhattan, and making your way through the city can drive you crazy!

A New York zip code map is easy to find online, either for sale or for free. The free maps tend to be low quality though, so your best bet is to buy one for under $20. Not only is it sent to you immediately, but there are no shipping and handling costs because it’s not a physical map, but an electronic one. Any good map will highlight major routes and landmarks and shade different zip code boundaries. Any other map tends to be a bit cluttered with every road, boundary and body of water in existence.

Taking a trip to New York can be an event of your lifetime, if you take it easy. By getting a New York zip code map, you can easily plot your trip out and save time getting from place to place. And since time is money…you might as well save a little of that as well!

Good advice. When I lived in NYC, there was no such thing as GPS. What a terrific resource for any large city!
