3.0 out of 5 stars Good overview, weak in topographic detail., April 9, 2000

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

I hesitated in purchasing this Atlas since I had looked it over once before and had been unimpressed with its depth. The contours are at too low a resolution to be useful, trails, ridges and many peaks are not named as well as many dirt roads. The urban features are good though and most roads are drawn. What finally convinced me to purchase this Atlas was that it was convenient and nice to have all the islands in one book, instead of juggling multiple topo and sectional maps. The grid and scale systems used, as well as the rulers along the x and y-axes of each page make it easy to estimate distance and find features. The GPS Grids and Recreational Guides are also handy. Overall it is a good purchase but not a complete reference. It is especially weak as a reference for the backcountry traveler since it paints an inaccurate and overly tame picture of the precipitous terrain I, as a resident hiker, have come to love and respect.

What else can I say? I've come to expect the best from Delorme. Very useful even though my trip to Hawaii remains a daydream for the next few years.

This particular issue had very old information. A lack of information and Road names and numbers. It is understandable that some roads disappear when there is an eruption.....but.....other roads were drawn incorrectly and out of place. These are roads not affected by the volcano, ocean and etc. These roads are over 150 years old. The layout of this particular Gazetter did not come up as the same quality as my own state gazeter. Some of the roads are in "Hawaiian" and were mispelled.

This Atlas is/was not worth the cost. You can get local road maps from convenience stores in Hawaii much more accurate.
