 A "Consistently Good" Atlas May 16, 2010

Rand McNally's 2011 Road Atlas is the highest quality paperback road atlas currently available.
The atlas's maps strike a perfect balance between detail and legibility; even though the maps are loaded with information, they are still, somehow, incredibly readable.
The atlas is also made by a company that values customer feedback. Last November, I wrote to Rand McNally asking how they decide which cities to "bold" in their atlases. (I had noticed in earlier editions that a number of cities with as few as 5,000 residents were labeled in large bold type, while other, much larger ones weren't given bold labels. It seemed inconsistent.) I suggested that the company, instead, use bold type to indicate a city's population.
Rand McNally appears to have acted on my suggestions. In this new edition, the boldness and size of a city's label now corresponds to its population. In addition, all cities with populations greater than 5,000 now appear in bold type; this wasn't the case before.
Other changes I've noticed in the 2011 edition:
- Many more cities have been added to the atlas's state maps, especially in and around major metropolitan areas.
- Unincorporated cities and towns are now given different city "dots" than incorporated communities.
- Interstate exit numbers are now in green boxes. (This makes them easier to read and harder to confuse with mileage numbers.)
- The inset boxes around major cities are now gray instead of yellow.
- Elevation values for major cities and bodies of water have been removed from the maps.
- Construction areas have been updated.
There are also five new "Best of the Road" routes, if you're into that sort of thing.
All in all, the 2011 edition is a great update to an already great atlas.

Good atlas, worth the cost. Even though they come out with a new one every year, it is definitely needed for all of the road changes and updates. Recommend this product.

We've used the Rand-McNally Road Atlas for years; our mid-90s edition was out of date. The 2011 edition is exactly what we need - covers all territory where we drive with good detail, yet is a manageable size for in the car. This provides great coverage, with much lower cost and complexity than a GPS unit.

I bought this atlas as a gift for my father who has a knack for viewing maps. The details provided in this atlas is really amazing. My father can visualize almost all of these countries roadways sitting in yet another totally distant country.
This serves far better than a GPS provided you are used to following maps by yourselves than being guided by a voice. It is real fun.
Still the best July 21, 2010

A true classic. Always has been through the years. Very informative and easy to use. My Dad and I used it for or cross country trips and now I'm using it for moving my family from California to the deep South.
