Disappointing layout overshadows convenience and quality of maps
| Customer Rating:  | | I agree that the spiral binding makes the large atlas more convenient to handle, but a *glaring drawback* of having each page a separate leaf bound together by a large plastic coil is that all the maps are split down the middle by more than an inch. When you're following a big highway and you've reached the edge of the left-hand page, it's relatively easy to find it on the right-hand page after the jump (over the page margins and the space the coil takes up), but if you're looking at local and city streets, forget trying to match them up quickly and easily and in lots of cases, at all. Plus, a large majority of the detailed inset maps (which I've always found very useful) are placed right in the center of the binding, so they get cut in half too, rendering them less readable and less navigable. Seems like no one at Rand McNally has actually used this version of the atlas...or else they might have noticed how frustrating and confusing the current layout is in combination with the spiral binding. |
Well Done, Rand McNally
| Customer Rating: | This book is ingenious. There are roads everywhere you look...in your state...in your city...even in your own neighborhood. Finally, someone has realized that it would be a brilliant idea to take all of those roads and put them in a book!! With this baby at your side, you can map out your destination and find the shortest way to where you want to go. Who needs the internet or GPS when you can go blind staring at the pages of this bad boy?
In all seriousness...if you venture out of your city at all, it never hurts to have an atlas in your car. Especially if you're in a strange state or going on a long road trip. And this makes for an excellent guide to the USA, with large state maps and detailed maps for all the major cities, plus some inset maps for smaller cities. |
Atlas
| Customer Rating: | | My husband and I purchase the Rand-McNally road atlas every year. This one is special, is larger and has larger print on certain pages. The spiral binding is great; at last, one that lies flat |
Hard to read, but good reference
| Customer Rating: | A bit disappointed in this atlas as their choices of highway/road colors make it hard to discern all but the small state/county roads and bold interstates. Those in-between are all pink... some skinny lines, some a wee bit thicker. Greatly prefer the easier-on-the-eyes American Map series after using one of those in the past.
Other than the ugliness of the maps, it's a very good reference but can't give it more than 3 stars due to the shortcomings. |
atlas reveiw
| Customer Rating: | We have been buying a new map every year for a long time. This is by far the best one that we have ever bought. Especially when those eyes get a little older ,it is nice to have the bigger print.
Thank you for doing business us. Tim Thomasson |
