4.0 out of 5 stars Mandatory carrying for anyone exploring the Lone Star State, August 17, 2000
By Roger Edwards (Norman, OK United States) - See all my reviews
As a long-time storm chaser and native Texan, I have travelled thousands of different miles across Texas roads; and I can attest to this atlas' accuracy and usefulness. Even if using GPS software, please buy this book if you intend to go off the interstates or U.S. highways. The Roads of Texas has all the county and farm roads -- I mean every single one -- and in much greater precision and detail than what is shown on any GPS software display. I have used these maps to find welcome back-roads solitude in the increasingly crowded hobby of storm chasing. Having worn out two copies already (in 11+ years of publication), I will soon be purchasing a third! The atlas format does have its encumberances -- mainly, tiny typefaces on some labelling and the awkwardness of crossing northern or southern page boundaries into a different portion of the atlas. However, these are minor and common problems with *all* road atlases. Some faint topographic contours would be a nice addition, if they can be laid into the background in a way that would not distract from the roads and their labels. However, this is much easier to use overall than DeLorme's atlas, and far perferable to fold-out maps!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't explore Texas without it, April 13, 2001
By A Customer
I found Roads of Texas to be indispensible when planning trips off the main highways. An earlier review criticized this book for not naming all the roads. I did too. But that was the 1995 edition. The 1999 edition does name all the roads. I like to follow any road that looks interesting. Inevitably, it seems, county roads end at a T-intersection with no directional sign so you don't know which way to turn. This was terribly frustrating with the 1995 edition. But with the 1999 edition I know just where I am. No more getting lost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best map for finding obscure places, May 5, 2004
By Thomas Bonar (Cypress, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I like to go to a small town and find the cemeteries, the courthouses, the landmarks that make driving off the beaten path fun. This is the best map to use to save time getting to where you want to go.
