Cross country dreaming 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

My 1st Rand McNalley Atlas is many years old, so I thought I deserved a new one. I love maps and used my 1st one many times. The 2009 Atlas is just what I wanted, is greatly expanded, and good for planning road trips in other states. In my head, I've taken different routes to familiar places and to ones I've never been. It's a good reference and I think it's great.

Another year, another Rand McNally Road Atlas 5 out of 5 stars.

When I was a kid, I loved every time that my family bought a new Rand McNally Road Atlas. As soon as I could, I would sit down with the atlas and trace rides across country, from state to state. Or I would look for strangely named communities or. . . . I would spend an hour or so at a time just going through those glorious maps.

More recently, this is my annual Christmas gift to my son (wonder if love of atlases has a genetic basis?). But I still will grab his copy when he's not around and go through it, just as so long ago.

This Atlas has taken on a more contemporary flavor. Now, there is a web site that you can go to on road construction. Plus other web sites listed to provide the road warrior with more information.

It's fun to revisit my home territory via the Atlas. I was born in Kewanee, Illinois, so I can go to the Illinois map and trace (once more) how I would get to my mother's hometown (Bradford, IL), and the different routes I could take back and forth, including lesser used routes.

Or just open randomly to a map. I just did that and got Texas. Given the recent hurricane (Ike), it is illuminating to take a look at the Galveston-Houston area, as well as checking out the path that the hurricane took. An atlas gives you a grounded sense of the world around you.

So, anyhow, here's to the 2009 Atlas!

Better Than Expected 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I was happy to see that this map had major roads on it in light-grey. Not overpowering, but you can get a good view of them. Map was in perfect condition rolled up. (The plastic package was marked $4.95 and I paid $5.95, but worth it!)

value for money 5 out of 5 stars.

very good graphics and print quality. The only -ve is that the paper is very thin (for this price don't expect better). Spend few more and get the laminated one. Happy with what I got for the price!!!!

Editorial Review:

Wake up your walls with Rand McNally's colorful, contemporary U.S. Wall Map (rolls out to 50" x 32"). A combination of bold colors and detailed cartography makes this map stand out in any home, classroom, or office.

Features include:

• Color-matching relief to show mountain ranges and other elevation changes
• Clearly labeled state and city names for easy location
• State capitals and National Parks labeled on the map
• Time zone indications
• Albers projection for even representation of the country
• Compact rolled size for easy storage when not on the wall

This U.S. Wall Map serves not only as a handy reference piece, but as an eye-catching accent for any room or office. This map looks great framed, too!

Informative 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

This is great atlas, I would recomend it to anyone who travels on a mototcycle or drives a car. The ride atlas is very detailed it shows the best routes that a motorcyclist like myself would need to take to see the best part of the U.S. Another great feature is it's water proof don't have to worry about it coming apart in the rain, it's very well made and should last for years if you ride a motorcycle and been looking for an atlas to take with you then this is it, it's fits in saddle bags as well.

extremely great and convenient map 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

this map has it all...very detailed road content found in the large rand maps with a tough, closeable magnetic binder that fits nicely in any saddlebag. it has good suggestions for scenic rides and some state laws for anywhere you can ride a motorcycle. i dont ride a harley and dont necessarily care for them either, but this is one 'harley' item i had to have. the only negative thing i can think of is that due to its size, many states are split onto seperate pages. it is a necessary evil, however they tried to mitigate it by creating a 'overlap' of the map area on each consecutive page so you can quickly refind your spot/road.

Perfect for the tourist! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This laminated map is a favorite. I purchased one for London and loved it, so I bought this one for our upcoming trip to Montreal. Unlike paper maps it can take the folding and refolding and still hold up great. While its size is larger, (pamphlet, about the size of a paper map)it still will fit in a purse or backback without a problem. The other bonus is the metro stations that are clearly marked on the map.

perfect map 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

All of these streetwise maps are great. They focus on the downtowns of major cities- just where you probably are when you are walking around and need a quick reference. The size is perfect, and the plastic coating makes them extremely durable. I was in Montreal for over a month and had three local people ask me where I got the map - twice when I pulled it out on the Metro to review where I was going once I got off, once just on the street. As one person told me: "It doesn't look like a tourist map, I'd like one. Where did you get it?" The same thing happened twice in Paris last year with that map. Highly recommend!

Wish I'd had this the last time I visited Hogtown... 4 out of 5 stars.
8 of 9 people found this review helpful.

... you can bet I'll have it with me when I go back. The usual Streetwise quality is evident in this map; the only quibble I have with it is the rather odd orientation. Thanks to the fact that all Streetwise have to fit into their standard rectangle shape, and the somewhat unusual shape of Toronto means that in order to fit it in, it has to be oriented with north nowhere near "up". Once you get used to that, though, you have a dandy, sturdy map of Toronto, including the TTC subway lines.

Convenient, but needs to be updated 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I purchased this in 2003 for a trip later that year. I had no problems getting around, but after multiple trips to the city I would recommend buying a map once you're in the city. I spotted a minor error with the subway listings, and they list a non-existent green space in the Annex neighborhood...I asked a passerby and they had no idea where it could be! The TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) has free, to-date-maps that are available in all the stations with agents. So do some booths at Pearson Airport. Still, the foldable, waterproof format is super-convenient. Just remember to pick up a more current map and carry the Streetwise one when you're walking around for general reference.

Editorial Review:

Based on decades of research and written in clear, concise prose by one of the foremost geographers in North America, John C. Hudson's Across This Land is a comprehensive regional geography of the North American continent.

Clearly organized, the book divides the entire United States and Canada into six major regions, then further subdivides them into twelve smaller areas. Hudson emphasizes each region or area's distinguishing place-specific attributes, including -- to a larger degree than previous regional geographies -- political considerations. In this way, the book tells the story of each region, relying on a brisk narrative that reveals the dynamic processes of their distinctive characteristics.

The first extensive regional geography of the North American continent in over seventy-five years, Hudson's Across This Land will become the standard text in geography courses dealing with Canada and the U.S. as well as a popular reference work for scholars, students, and lay readers.

Mid Size wrong size 1 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

This mid size product only shows main roads so not very useful for other than Interstate or major highways. What are you going to do if there is a detour or you get lost or just wander? Skip it and get a real map, the full size edition with most roads including county highways.

Just what I expected 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Nice small-size atlas. Helps you to get overview of routes you cruised/are going to cruise. Not very helpful when moving within the city, or on small state roads. I bought it as a supplement to my GPS. I simply wanted to have nice overview (as I mentioned) and to see what route is GPS picking.
Two years ago when I haven't got GPS I used the same brand atlas but bigger size.

Useful map 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Just came back from a 2500 mile car safari around the Maritime Provinces. This map was useful and up to date. Note that the map includes all of Prince Edward Island and much of New Brunswick as well as Nova Scotia which makes it extremely handy.

Handy map 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Came in very handy on a recent trip to Nova Scotia. Was detailed enough for the country side. Cities required a more detailed city map (obtained locally from tourist information centers).
