Title: Not A Pocket Reference
Review: I bought these for use in backpacks and bugout kits. They are enormous measuring 11 x 16 inches. Perhaps not enormous, but a pretty large reference for a backpack. Perhaps NOT ideally suited for those looking for a pocket reference.They are printed on nice think paper and soft bound to a thick cover. These should last for some time. I agree with what others have commented that the roadways are not as prominent as a roadmap may be, but the roadways ARE pretty clear. No less prominent than the other features the map illustrates, such as terrain and landmarks. Where the AAA map mostly portrays roadways the USGS map portrays terrain. The DeLorme Atlas & Gazetteer seems to treat both equally. If one is just looking for a roadmap, they may find these a bit bulky. If you ever have to take to the "back roads" or find yourself in unfamallier territory - then this is the map for you. I will be buying more of these fine maps.
Is the review positive or negative?
