Finally! A manageable atlas that is easy to read!, Jun 17 2009

This review is from: The Road Atlas Large Scale: United States (Spiral-bound)
A recent roadtrip with our old atlas made us wish we'd brought along a magnifying glass and it prompted me to purchase this Atlas. Granted, this one has almost twice as many pages as my old atlas, but the dimensions are the same and the spiral binding makes it very easy to handle in the car. As soon as it arrived, we compared the text size to that in our original atlas and we saw a definite advantage. Very nice!

If you like road maps, this is the one for you, Dec 17 2006

This review is from: Rand McNally Large Scale Road Atlas (Paperback)
I have loved maps since I was a teenager. At one level, I just enjoy picking a state and seeing its geographical features and how I would get from one place to another. This Rand McNally Road Atlas is one that I have been using for over 40 years.
The 2007 version is top notch, like its predecessors. The maps that suggest how long it takes to go from one place to another are terrific; the suggested attractions that one might visit are very helpful; tourist and hotel information is very nice.
However, it is the state by state maps that are the central feature of this publication (as well as maps of Mexico and Canada and Puerto Rico). Anyone who is interested in how to get from Point A to Point B will revel in this work.
There are even road construction updates available online for those who buy these maps.
All in all, this is one of those "golden oldies" that merits consideration by those of us who want to know how to get from one place to another.

My husband had been using a Rand MCNally Road Atlas he had gotten back in the 70's. He loves maps. After he opened this spent the balance of the night looking through it. He thought the attention to details were Great!!!
