Worth the money
Love having this back-up in my truck. Sometimes I end up in black holes with no service and really don’t want risk ending up wandering in the wilderness trying to find my way. The print is large and easy to read and really important none of any map runs through the crease in the book’s binding. Sometimes old school is still best

Excellent for the Apocalypse
When an EMP (Electro-magnetic-pulse) or massive solar flare burns out our GPS satellites only those who have a road atlas, and know how to use it, will be able to navigate the roads of this vast country. While the Gen z-er's and Gen Alpha's are wandering, confused and aimless without Google Maps to guide them, those who remember the old ways will be kings and queens in the land. Only they will be able to interpret the arcane knowledge hidden in the squiggly colored lines printed on something called "paper," in something called, "a book." Only they will be able to guide the young ones to sustenance- "The Piggly Wiggly is . . . that way!" Don't be a fool. Prepare for the apocalypse now. Buy this road atlas.

Good, but not great.
Been a while since I've bought a map book, but overall it is pretty good, and it does seem they've learned some things from previous versions. For instance even though it's spiral bound, the holes go through the margins, instead of part of the map itself. Small things like that are helpful, as inevitably fate will somehow ensure those holes mess up your route in some way.I do however have a few critiques and suggestions for a future version.1. Laminated pages. It seems like decent quality paper, but if you have this available for easy access in a car, inevitably it will be close to a drink, food, open window, etc, and some liquid/sauce/grease will get onto it. I'd much rather have it easier to clean off, than permanently staining the map. Additionally, this will help reinforce the holes the spiral goes through.2. There is an overview of the entire US at the beginning of the book, showing the major cities and highways, and then each state is broken down into different pages, giving a very detailed of the streets. However there is no overview showing which page corresponds to which portion of the state, and since you need a map, you're likely not familiar with each state, making it more confusing. I think they should have a page at the start of each state section, giving a general overview of the state, with grid lines showing which portion of the state can be found on which page. The same could also be shown for adjoining states, making it easier to trace your route through each state.Again, it is overall good, just think it needs a few tweaks to make it great.

Easy to use and has lots of information
I like paper maps and this one is great! Updated, larger than some earlier editions and fun to use to plan trips. It also has guides to national parks and areas of interest and a good mileage chart. One of the best things about a book of maps is I can flip back and forth between maps and areas without "losing" any or wondering which screen "that one" is on!

Great detail....
Works like it says. Helps with my grandson's map skills. Teaching him that Google maps wasn't the 1st.

Always loved RM road atlases over the years. Sometimes a hard copy beats phone maps
