Information and maps
The glossy promotional material handed out by Dominican Consuls and Tourist Agencies are pretty to look at but seriously lacking in hard facts.

With the emphasis on the package vacations that have earned the country so much money, they hold little value for independent travelers.

Their maps are likewise relatively useless, though there are several excellent ones of the country available, including the 1:600,000 Dominican Republic map published by Berndtson & Berndtson (see top right).  It's a very good idea to get a map before get there.
