Rand McNally 2009 The Road Atlas Large Scale: United States (Rand Mcnally Large Scale Road Atlas USA)User Review: - Rand McNally AtlasWell constructed (I love the spiral binding). The LARGE size edition was exactly what I wanted. User Review: - US AtlasThis is a great help since we have started going on trips from January through May and like to go to different places on our way to and from Florida every winter and spring. The Atlas' don't seem to get updated very often and this one looks great! Besides the fact it's LARGE PRINT!! THANKS!! User Review:  - Disappointing layout overshadows convenience and quality of mapsI agree that the spiral binding makes the large atlas more convenient to handle, but a *glaring drawback* of having each page a separate leaf bound together by a large plastic coil is that all the maps are split down the middle by more than an inch. When you're following a big highway and you've reached the edge of the left-hand page, it's relatively easy to find it on the right-hand page after the jump (over the page margins and the space the coil takes up), but if you're looking at local and city streets, forget trying to match them up quickly and easily and in lots of cases, at all. Plus, a large majority of the detailed inset maps (which I've always found very useful) are placed right in the center of the binding, so they get cut in half too, rendering them less readable and less navigable. Seems like no one at Rand McNally has actually used this version of the atlas...or else they might have noticed how frustrating and confusing the current layout is in combination with the spiral binding. User Review: - Well Done, Rand McNallyThis book is ingenious. There are roads everywhere you look...in your state...in your city...even in your own neighborhood. Finally, someone has realized that it would be a brilliant idea to take all of those roads and put them in a book!! With this baby at your side, you can map out your destination and find the shortest way to where you want to go. Who needs the internet or GPS when you can go blind staring at the pages of this bad boy? In all seriousness...if you venture out of your city at all, it never hurts to have an atlas in your car. Especially if you're in a strange state or going on a long road trip. And this makes for an excellent guide to the USA, with large state maps and detailed maps for all the major cities, plus some inset maps for smaller cities. User Review: - AtlasMy husband and I purchase the Rand-McNally road atlas every year. This one is special, is larger and has larger print on certain pages. The spiral binding is great; at last, one that lies flat |
