3.0 out of 5 stars Not as easy to use as the older edition, August 31, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Metro Boston Eastern Massachusetts Street Atlas (Metro Boston Eastern Massachusetts Street Atlas, 4th Ed) (Official Arrow Street Atlas) (Spiral-bound)

We replaced an older edition of a Boston Atlas and I liked that one better. The new book is great if all you need to do is get around a single town, as it's laid out in alphabetical order with a town to each page. Having the street index on the same page is handy too. But the pages don't relate to one another and if you're going from one town to the next or, heaven forbid, traveling across a few towns, the map is pretty useless. The older edition had the towns laid out like a giant cut-up map, with legends on the top, sides and bottom of the page telling you which map it connected to. The maps were sequential and opposing pages were a single map. The new book is a good reference for single towns, but to travel around in Eastern Mass you're still going to need an old fold out map.

4.0 out of 5 stars Handy - not super, March 27, 2000

This review is from: Metro Boston Eastern Massachusetts Street Atlas (Metro Boston Eastern Massachusetts Street Atlas, 4th Ed) (Official Arrow Street Atlas) (Spiral-bound)

This is a handy map of the Metro Boston area. It's spiral bound format makes it easy to lay open to the page you're on (nice while driving). It alphabetized by town which makes it easy to find the map. Each town has an index on the same page.

There is an informative page for city and town statistics for easy comparisons.

Warning, not all maps have north at the top of the page and every page does not have a "North" indicator. Scales are also different. Scales are not on every page (page 45 for example)

1.0 out of 5 stars This is a terrible map book., October 22, 2011

This review is from: Metro Boston Eastern Massachusetts Street Atlas (Metro Boston Eastern Massachusetts Street Atlas, 4th Ed) (Official Arrow Street Atlas) (Spiral-bound)

I am planning on moving to Eastern Mass to live closer to my son. I wanted to look up his address and to trace out routes so that I would be able to get to malls and all w/o going on highways. This book is useless as the towns are alphabetized instead of being linkewd together as normal maps books are.
In addition, my son's whole neighborhood is covered over by indices so I can not see asnything that I wanted. Whose idea was THAT????

Who possibility thought of this as in any way useful. I am so disappointed.
Does anyone know where I can buy a map of the Boston area the first one I ordered was actually from Boston, England.... another waste).
