Summary: "detailed map"

I like this atlas because it gives accurate map descriptions. The back of the atlas is a reference index that tells you what page to turn to for quick look. Haven't found any mistakes. One feature that's missing is a zoomed in map for the major cities. All in all, not bad.

Summary: "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.

Summary: "Gazetteer is Big Help"

Gazetteers from DeLorme are exceptional. I like the detail and ease of use. The only thing I wish they still did is to list what state parks have cabin rentals and the amenities provided. I have an old DeLorme gazetteer that provides this information.

Summary: "Best for finding back roads, trails, and the perfect campsite"

This is the atlas I recommend for finding back roads and hiking trails. These guides are very detailed because they are written for each individual state. Hawaii's map pages are 1:84,000 scale and parts of Alaska can have 1:1,1,400,000 scale. Visit http://delorme.com and you can get information on map scales and elevations for the state you're interested in.

I can thank this book for the best 4th of July I ever had. We live in Washington State. Everyone knows that camping is very crowded over the 4th. It was in this book that I found Lost Lake. It's a small lake tucked into the mountains off highway 12 near Mt. Rainier. Lost Lake is off the beaten path and our atlas showed us the way to get there. Not only did we find Lost Lake but we had a waterfront campsite and I caught my limit of rainbow trout. There are many more lakes that we will explore next summer using this atlas. Visit our blog at www.radiodirectoryvagabonds.blogspot.com - and you can see Lost Lake and the beautiful campsite we found. The book is great for armchair journeys, finding boat launches, streams, and public hunting and fishing grounds. This is great for trip planning and treasuring hunting for the perfect campsite!
