However, I would not yet buy one, as you will find that all the 2012 will be out over the next few months, and you may as well have the latest.Īs for maps of individual States, does your local Automobile club not have any? I find that I can get some locally. Even over a six month trip, I have not found the pages to wear.
The map lays flat and the pages do not come loose.
I have never used a spiral bound one, and find the normal binding good. Though I should qualify that - I have not sat down to compare them in detail. I have from time to time looked at the AAA Road Atlas and the Michelin Road Atlas, and must honestly say, have not found a great deal of difference. My experience has only been with Rand McNally, and I have found them to be quite detailed and really accurate. Last edited by Mark Sedenquist 12-26-2011 at 02:38 PM. So far, I have found the following atlases: We do have a GPS with US maps, but I still love having a good "old fashioned" road atlas to use as well. I would like it to be spiral bound, as detailed as possible (I do realize, however, that no road atlas covering the entire USA is detailed enough, and I probably need separate maps for each region) - and preferably have a grind system so that you can follow a road from one page to the next, instead of having to refer to the index every time. Despite all the reviews on Amazon, I have a hard time deciding on which atlas to choose - and I wonder if someone here would be able to recommend a good US road atlas based on first hand experience. I live in Europe, and unfortunately, the bookstores in my city do not carry a large selection of US maps - which means I'll have to purchase a road atlas "blindly" over the internet. For now, I would like to ask for some advice regarding road atlases.
Our road coast to coast trip for 2012 is still in the early planning stages, so I will probably come back with numerous questions in the future. I have just recently joined the forum myself, despite lurking in the background and reading the interesting discussions and useful tips for a long time.
