5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful for travel in remote areas, April 13, 2003

By	T. Stroll (Oakland, Calif., USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

You should receive the sixth edition (2002) of the DeLorme Colorado Atlas & Gazetteer when you order from Amazon, even though Amazon's listing still shows only the fifth edition (2000). The atlas is indispensable if you're planning to travel on the back roads or the major Forest Service or BLM roads of Colorado. Governmental jurisdictions are well-differentiated by color, and the topographic relief is very nice.

The only caveat is that the scale of the maps in this atlas, at 1:160,000, is too large to show great detail. If you're mountain biking or hiking in remote terrain or on minor trails, you should get additional maps, such as smaller-scale governmental maps or those made by Latitude 40.

4.0 out of 5 stars Must Have for every GPS user, February 26, 2000

By	www.colorado-springs.net (Colorado Springs, CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Colorado Atlas & Gazetteer (Paperback)

It was this book that first convinced me to buy a GPS. We were out 4-wheeling in the Colorado backcountry and met another 4-wheeler. We were looking at his Colorado Atlas and disagreeing at which trail intersection we were at. He pulled out his GPS and said he would settle this. The GPS with the Colorado Atlas proved us both wrong. I went back to town and bought this book and a GPS.

1.0 out of 5 stars Colorado Atlas, July 28, 2007

Very poor details compared to the Colorado Road and Recreation Atlas. Do not even use it.
