1 can't get much better for a road map
If you are thinking about maybe renting a car when visiting the Madrid/central Spain area, get this map now. It will easy your mind about how easy it is to navigate the area, which by the way is very beutiful and dramatic. This part of Spain, with mountains to the north of Madrid and the plains with the windmills to the south, is as much worht seeing as a sight unto itself. The driving was a pleasure, the roads and traffic safe and well marked. This map is for central Spain, not Andalucia as indicated by the reviewer for Charleston. Andalucia would be antoher map, this goes only as far south as Cordoba.
2 Updated map of Andalucia
Available locally (at list price) is the 1998 edition detailing the large network of "autopistas" built in Andalucia since the version offered by Amazon (1991), which is now out of date. The coverage of this map is actually all of Spain SOUTH of Valdepenas and east of the Portuguese border to the Costa de Almeria at Aguilas: the entire territory of Andalucia. The single map insert (7") is of Sevilla. Otherwise, I concur with the comments of the two other reviewers, especially the one that more city maps on the reverse side would be eminently more helpful (and efficient).
3 Its a very useful, detailed map
This map has excellent detail, covering all the terrain from south of Madrid to the northern coast, and from Salamanca in the west to Zaragoza in the east. Includes even little-used country roads. Also has a 7" inset of Madrid and city/road index. But it is missing features we expect in US maps: double-sided printing, more city insets.

This is without doubt the best road map for the tourist in Southern Spain to buy
