I love this atlas, and have been purchasing American Maps atlases for at least five years. It is indispensable to have one in your vehicle. I find them easier to read than atlases made by Rand McNally, to whom I used to be loyal.

In response to REJ's review, spanning state maps across several pages allows more detail to be printed. Of course, for local street-level detail, you will need to purchase a map of the area of interest.

It is likely that REJ had trouble planning his long trip because of one shortcoming of the atlas in particular: there are no regional maps, only state maps and one map of the entire continental United States. If you are planning an interstate road trip, you need regional maps, or you need to use computer or Internet mapping software, such as Google Maps.

I have used many of the "name brand" atlases through the years--all have pros and cons--but I like this one better than any and the 2010 version is the fourth year I have bought this one. Easy to read, accurate, bound so it can be folded back or lie flat, and pages are somewhat spill proof. I will stick with this one!

Considering how inexpensive this great atlas is and how durable and user friendly it is, the atlas is WONDERFUL! I would highly recommend.

Easy to use and a great size. We are taking this with us on a cross-country roadtrip in June. I don't anticipate any trouble. I like that there is info on noteworthy sites in each state too.

I have been making cross country drives for 39 years, and have used numerous road atlases, maps, etc. to plan my trips. This one is by far the worst I have ever seem--in fact I find it useless. It is very poorly laid out, breaks states into too many segments, and generally lacks both continuity & organization. I purchased it to plan a trip from VA to MA next month, but have given up. I am going to need to purchase another road atlas to plan my trip and put this one where it belongs--in the trash!
