5.0 out of 5 stars Hands down it's the BEST!, November 9, 2008

By	Brian W. Cockrell "bcockrell" (Shreveport, LA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Without a doubt there is no map series better than "Roads of.." I've used the Texas and Louisiana editions for the last ten years and they are the maps you turn to when NO other map shows you the road you are looking for. While DeLorme's Gazeteer series is close, it's scale is just distant enough to where they don't show road names for every small little road. Not so with the "Roads of" maps. You get everything! This is the absolute best way to navigate country backroads. Some of my work has involved highway and utility right-of-ways. This is the ONLY atlas that I have been able to use to find every possible access road I need. Want to know the name of that old dirt road off the end of that old gravel road? If it's not in here, it doesn't have a name, lol!

5.0 out of 5 stars roads of texas, December 2, 2008

By	Karen P. Rowe (Conroe, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Roads of Texas was introduced to me while working in the oilfield in Texas. It is very helpful in finding out of the way places and has never failed me. Very good book if you need to find your way on back roads.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but local distances are NOT always accurate, and local maps NOT up to date!, August 26, 2008

By	L. Burough "Lurker" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

:-/ The main roads are correctly depicted...BUT, this 5th Edition is NOT current! Many public roads, and roads in the gated communities of my new neighborhood (76049 Zip) are simply not depicted in this MAPSCO volume!

The streets in my old Silver Creek Addition in San Antonio (78250 Zip)WERE CONSTRUCTED IN 1979/80, BUT NOT COMPLETELY DEPICTED IN THIS 2005/2008 EDITION! :-/

Aside from that, it is still full of large maps with easy to see and interpret symbols. But the down side is this lack of currency limits usefulness for us.

Bad Note: Some of the mileages depicted between points in my 76049 neighboorhood are way off.
