DeLorme Maps for the American Road-Tripper
This review really applies to all DeLorme maps, including the Wisconsin map. DeLorme maps are far and away the best choice for those with a hankering to travel the American roadways. Bored with driving the interstates? Veer off the road whenever you feel the itch and search the true backroads of America and never waste time getting lost. Everyone knows about the popular tourist destinations, you can find the juicy alternative attractions, and you can do it as you go -- no planning. Rand McNally state maps and any travel book you can name just don't cut it for comprehensive detail of a state. Look for the biggest tree, discover an obscure historic site, see what an arsenal looks like, find the public dock to that inaccesible lake, drive beautiful rustic roads where you don't see a soul, see what a 50 person town has to offer -- it's all here. It's like you're a local all over the country.

My only objections -- let's have a DeLorme map for every state! I don't care if Kansas and Nebraska are flat, let's have 'em! It would also be an improvement to spiral bind maps for easier use during travel and to keep the book from falling apart with use.

DeLorme maps are not good for detailed street names in cities, but you can buy city maps for that when you get there. I've traveled America for 10 years with my DeLorme maps and can tell you that a unique America still exists beyond the strip malls and identical nationwide franchises.

How about a 50 state set collection? DeLorme maps are truly an egalitarian resource with no particular agenda -- the maps just show you what's there and let you make the decisions. All in all an essential element of your road-trip kit.

Excellent book, but missing information.
First of all I absolutely love this atlas!! I look at it all the time. Its great for taking a trip through the state because it doesn't leave out a detail (or so it seems until you look harder). It features parks, forests, tourist attractions, natural features, fishing spots and more... The ONLY reason that I give this otherwise 5+ star atlas four stars, is that it has a good amount of missing information. I own the 1989 edition of this book and recently looked at the newest edition (2001) to find that there was NO added information from the old edition. I couldn't find a single difference between the two versions. The problem is, there is probably a couple DOZEN roads within 10 miles of my home that are not listed! I've also found one of their phone numbers for a state park to be the wrong one. Well, they do say to contact them "if you should find conditions other than what is listed in this atlas". So that's what I'll do and I hope to help other people by stepping in and making the right changes. (The changes will be listed in the next edition).

check out Topo USA 4.0. It features up-to-date data for the ENTIRE U.S....

Great Map Books to Have
These map books are great to have when traveling even though you might have mapped your route online and have a GPS. They give a great big picture quickly if you need the big picture or need to reroute. I have worn out my old 12 year old ones and wanted to get up to date one. I wouldn't be without them.
