No. Pick up a free map and you are set.

In a word - NO! Or at least, not in my opinion.
It's a small and easy island to navigate and half the pleasure of St. Maarten/st. Martin is in finding those wonderful little spots well off the beaten path that you stumble upon in the course of traveling the island. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

There's basically one road.

Dansc said: hey rondon, we use that road constantly. dont tell anyone but you save a ton of time getting across the island! The road I'm talking about dead ends---or it did because Pic Parise is beyond it. And the Columbier Rd goes into a dirt track so it doesnt join it unless you use 4x. Are you talking about the steep road that shortcuts from P'burg to Cole Bay or the Middle Road?

The maps the rental company are better than nothing, but I recommend getting a Kasprowski map of the island. http://www.midok.com/aboutus.html Every road is listed on it. I LOVE having a detailed map like this. It's absolutely worth the price.
