I recently did a 4-state road trip through AZ, UT, CO & NM. I was with 2 family members and we all have Verizon, plus we had the satellite GPS on the new rental car. Numerous times during our trip, we had zero navigation. We got lost twice because of it. You absolutely can’t rely on GPS. A road atlas is essential. The day after we got back, I bought this. I bought the large size to make it easier to see. We also found out that no gas stations or truck stops carry any maps or atlases anymore. We couldn’t believe it. I will never be without this road atlas in my vehicle again. Buy this right now, for every vehicle in your family. Make sure your family members, especially young people, know how to read a map. Anyone born after Generation X has probably never used a map or compass. Very important to teach them. Drive your kid into the middle of nowhere and make them navigate home using a map. They might not like it, but it might save their life one day. They won’t panic if they find themselves lost & alone, with no GPS or phone service. This is so extremely important for girls and young women. Make sure they can change a tire & use a jack, too. You are never more vulnerable than when stuck on the side of the road or lost in the middle of nowhere, especially if you’re female. It’s an entirely different risk profile than it is for males. Also, all girls/women should have self-defense “tools” at all times. Put a really good kn*fe in the car, at least.

This Road Atlas is a big road atlas (Large Scale:11.5 inches wide and 16 tall). That is good and bad. With the large size you get to see more detail and roads in the area whether you are looking at the road map of the state or more local maps but it is almost too big to take on a trip in your car! It is easy to use and follow your trip. It will be in my car for our multi state road trips!

Very happy with this purchase- it arrived on time and had all the features needed. Excellent maps and information- perfect to leave in the car and have at home.

Great atlas! Large easy to read pages give you a perfect way to plan any trip in the US. Easy to navigate the atlas giving you situational awareness of your trips progress. It is also a great learning tool for the kids and they enjoy following the map and learning the states. This atlas is much better than say Google Maps.

It is big and a little heavy. But other than that it was easy to read and easy to find our much needed stops. We also found some other interesting stops that we did not know existed. It will be coming with us at every drive thru the Mid-West.

A great UPDATED atlas to use when traveling the great lands of the USA. The spiral bound keeps it in place and is so practical to keep multiple maps together. It's easy to navigate, with detailed city maps that are easy to read. You can easily follow the map from one state to the next. It also includes Canada and other places. It gives you snippets about the popular food to try and sight suggestions to visit in that location. A great buy if you're traveling the States.

These are the back-up maps for when I don't have service for Google Maps. Large and easy to read. Kept in the vehicle.

The large size makes it easy to read at a distance and the spiral binding means you can have it protected in a door or seat pocket and open it to the state you need and leave it open on a seat. Its large enough to hunt down and mark small roads and landmarks during your travels. And of course its up to date with the latest road closures or new ones as its made this year. I like to take my jeep down little known trails and roads in AZ to visit ruins and desert features. This map makes it easy to ponpoint where you are visiting for future reference. It also has detailed road maps of the major cities in each state. Very easy to find the state and or city|town you want to visit or to plot your path across states you visit. Years ago, State Farm used to give me one of these every year for having insurance. They dont seem to do that any more, but this book of maps is so useful, I'll likely buy a new one every couple of years. Its hard to get lost in the USA when you have these. Much better than relying on GPS devices that often are only updated every few years and you dont need electricity to use these (grin). Well worth the pirchase cost!
