5.0 out of 5 stars
Not up to snuff., July 19, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Idaho Atlas and Gazetteer (State Atlas & Gazetteer) (Paperback)
I really like DeLorme's atlases (see my review of their new Nevada Atlas) but this one disappoints me so. The scale is too small so a lot of detail is lost, and the topo lines and many of the roads look hand-drawn and sloppy. I hope they re-do this one sometime soon in the manner of their Nevada, Nebraska, and Kansas atlases, so it will not look like their poorer cousin. I'm sure all the map freaks out there like me, who collect DeLorme map-books as much for their beauty as their utility, will be happy to shell out for an improved Idaho edition.

2.0 out of 5 stars
So many errors!, November 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Idaho Atlas and Gazetteer (State Atlas & Gazetteer) (Paperback)
I made the terrible mistake of touring Idaho with an old (1994) edition of the DeLorme Idaho Atlas. Fortunately I had a whole sackful of BLM and Forest Service maps to get me out of tight situations caused by relying on DeLorme's information. The atlas shows roads that are not there, and does not show roads that are there. The land management boundaries are incorrect in many crucial instances, and sites are drastically misplaced. I very much like the additional topographical information in the new edition, but I also noticed they did not correct any of the cartographic errors. So-- fine for casual use or for general trip planning, but contact the BLM or Forest Service before you head out on the back roads.

Great way to research Idaho's outdoors, July 19, 1998

For planning a trip to Idaho, what could be better than having topo maps of the whole state in one book? Locate trails and campgrounds, look up ranger stations and regulations, or just day-dream. Excellent research tool! I have them for every Northwest state.
