I've used many Rand McNally Road Atlases over the years, 27 of those years spent driving semis. This is the best yet and highly recommended for those traveling America's highway system. While not detailed enough to replace the need for a gazetteer, this atlas is well-made and sturdy enough to take a lot of thumbing through! To borrow from the American Express ad, "Don't leave home without it!" An indispensable tool for making your travel vacation by land much more enjoyable!

Some of these items are listed at nearly $90...yet Rand McNally sells the newest edition (2010) for $10. Not sure if these are gold plated, but I can't imagine why they would be so expensive. Just a thought.

Not a review, so disregard the actual star-rating. I have NOT purchased (nor used) this product.

This review is from: Rand McNally 2008 United States, Canada, Mexico Road Atlas: Vinyl Covered (Rand Mcnally Road Atlas United States/ Canada/Mexico (Vinyl Covered Edition)) (Paperback)

We have always kept a copy of the Rand McNally Road Atlas in our vehicles; we find them to be invaluable when traveling on the road for basic directional help but also for find alternate scenic routes, etc.

As mentioned by several others, there is a bit of an issue with the vinyl covered edition. The cover can become torn and/or separated due to the thin paper and stapled binding in combination with the cover being tucked into the vinyl pockets on both sides. A haphazard toss of the atlas one day caused the entire book to separate from the cover on my copy. However, I found that by placing a rubberband in the center of the binding holds it all together perfectly.

We have since purchased newer copies and put a rubberband around them immediately. We have never had a problem with tearing or separation since. Hope this helps everyone!
