We bought this map to plan and execute a recent driving trip around England and Wales, to supplement another map of southeastern England we had used before. The England and Wales map provided the big picture we needed for planning purposes (the trip ranged from Southampton to Gatwick to north Wales back to Heathrow), and also gave the roads and identification we needed while actually driving. All roads we needed seemed to appear on the map, labelled about as well as one would expect for the UK--except for the really minor roads. The map was fairly easy to fold into a shape that worked for a day at a time, and was, to us, preferable to a book of maps which requires constant page flipping. The only issue we had was that our destination in north Wales was actually on the reverse side of the map; enough of the map was duplicated on that side to allow for manageable refolding as we got closer. We couldn't have managed without this map, and will undoubtedly use it again. (Note that although some major attractions are indicated on this map, it does not pretend to be a guide book; you'll still need one of those.)
