This Atlas is a great resource tool when planning long distance or short distance travel. Plus, it's great fun to just open up at random and follow the highway. Armchair traveling? You bet -- don't knock it till you try it!!

This atlas is very large and spiral bound for easy flip-through. I especially love the travel highlights by state at the back. I agree with the other reviewer that it is an ideal travel guide for the arm-chair traveler.

Very handy on a road trip as it has both road condition and tourism phone numbers. It has a driving miles chart and also an estimated travel time map. The city maps are good and will do for most situations when passing through and making a brief stop. If you are going to be in a city for a long time and taking in all the sites then you will probably want to purchase a city map.

Spiral binding is great and we keep it on the page of the state we are driving through.

Typically clear and easy to read maps you'd expect from Rand McNally. I like the spiral format as it saves wear and tear on the binding. This edition contains additional pages that spotlight each of the 50 states. Not necessary for navigational purposes, but as a home schooler I appreciated this feature.
