Indispensable for Ireland Road Trip, May 2, 2010
This review is from: AA Road Atlas Ireland (AA Ireland Road Atlas) (Paperback)
This was absolutely essential when we drove through Ireland for ten days, having made our own itinerary. We didn't rent a Garmin--which possibly we would next time, mainly for in-city routes. However this atlas got us everywhere we needed to go, was sturdy, and very easy to read. Accurate, too, and the addition of Irish language where needed was most helpful. We knew where we were going, so got the atlas out every evening to familiarize ourselves with the route--paper clipped the pages we would need, and off we went. It does seem a bit mechanized to have a GPS thing talking at you, anyway, so this was probably a nicer way to travel. When you get into a city, you're a bit on your own, but the destinations and roadways are done very well. We also took a big map of the entire country (also purchased from Amazon) for reference, and that was a good adjunct to this atlas.

Traveling Ireland, September 14, 2009
This review is from: AA Road Atlas Ireland (AA Ireland Road Atlas) (Paperback)
I recently returned from a one week trip to Ireland and used this Road Atlas extensively along with a fold out map of the entire country. This Atlas was superb outside the cities. However, the city maps in the back were not helpful. They are too small to offer the details a visitor needs. If you are spending time in the cities, particularly Dublin, invest in actual maps of the cities. We learned to go around cities whenever possible. I would add to anyone doing a lot of driving in Ireland to be aware that the main traveled roads (yellow and red on the map) are generally narrow and windy. Also the speeds seemed high to us on these roads. We thoroughly enjoyed getting off these roads and onto the "white" roads on the map. These are very rural, not well traveled roads that allow a visitor to take their time. Have fun in Ireland and if you're doing a lot of country driving, I highly recommend this Atlas.

Very detailed road map, great for smaller towns and country roads, May 2, 2009
This review is from: AA Road Atlas Ireland (AA Ireland Road Atlas) (Paperback)
This Atlas saved us a lot of time by identifying smaller country roads and shortcuts between major motorways. If it weren't for the sheep or tractors getting in the way, we would have saved even more time. This is a very detailed atlas that covers the entire country of Ireland, and is very helpful for cities both large and small. Highly recommended for anyone that plans on doing any serious driving around Ireland.
