Everytime I go to Santiago I want to find a bunch of different stores.. but usually end up driving around for hours and finding 1 or 2 that I was looking for and end up eating dinner at chef pepps depressed.. Is there a map that has all the roads of Santiago with the actual stores listed on it?

Looking for stuff like Radiocentro, ferreteria ochoa, the biggest furniture stores, the malls, pricesmart etc, this would be absolutely awesome if I could track one down.

I like to take the map on wheels, also known as motoconcho.

You flag one down, tell him where you want to go, and follow him in your car. For 50rds you will know how to get there next time.

If you drive around yourself, looking for it, it will cost you more than 50rds in gasoline, and the next time you have to repeat it.

If you want a huge Santiago Paper Map the store on the monument side of the Aloha Sol Hotel , the store says Museo on the outside but it is a bookstore. You could mark your stores on your paper map from Google maps.

Call me sayonara and I'll tell you where most things can be found - for free or a cold one if you desire. :)

Thanks, very helpful information.

I will check them out the next time I'm in Santiago.
I checked at Jumbo in Santiago, they only have maps of everywhere BUT Santiago.

As far as remembering where things are if you have a car, get a Gramin Nuvi GPS.
There is a free map of the D.R. you can load into it.
You can then mark and name locations.

It is also great for getting back out of places that you do not know, just follow the bread crumbs to get out.
