5.0 out of 5 stars Likely to Be the Best Overall California Road Atlas, November 25, 2008

By	H. Nakayama (Memphis, Tennessee) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is likely to be the best overall road atlas available for California. I've used several editions of this atlas since the 1980s for finding my way around California. It includes both state-wide highway maps, regional maps, and selected street-level community maps, which seems to provide the right level of each for finding your way around such a large state in a handy and concise format. For getting around very large urban areas, such as LA, you still would need suppliment this atlas with more street level maps, which I usually print off from the internet ahead of time. So, there still is no substiture for planning ahead for road trips.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Thomas Guide for San Francisco & Marine County, November 25, 2008

By	Jill M. - See all my reviews

I am a delivery person in San Francisco and drive all over the city. This book has been extremely helpful. The Cross Street Index is the best. I can figure out exactly where I have to go in no time. The maps are very detailed and easy to read. I highly recommend this map book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thomas Guide California Road Atlas, June 10, 2009

By	Judith McKnight (Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico) - See all my reviews

When I was planning my first trip to southern California, I thought it would be a good idea to get a hold of a road map. Little did I know that when I ordered the Thomas Guide I was purchasing the very best road map I had ever used. Everything I looked for was there, from crossing the border from Tijuana, to arriving in Santa Barbara, and 1000 miles of driving in between. This guide took a lot of stress out of driving on the California freeway and in and about large cities (San Diego, L.A.) and small towns (Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, La Jolla, Point Loma). If I ever recover from this trip and decide to travel again, I won't leave home without a Thomas Guide.
