 Great map for the professional July 14, 2007
This map is fantastic--if you're on the road all day every day and need to find every nook and cranny as well as how to get there. This is not the map to get if you just need a regular city map. However for the ambulance driver, utility tech, delivery driver etc, this map is perfect.
As far as the first persons complaints--again, they don't waste space with overlap, they keep the same scale on every page--no squeezing the little town into 1 page.
You will get used to the page numbers on an everyday basis--they also can be looked up from the front map foldout, find area, look up number and go. It also is used for the CD usage.
The roads are easy enough to follow if you note where they leave the previous page...but this is not the "in-town for a visit" map.
Enjoy!
 Disappointment for big name publisher June 8, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I expected a useful book by selecting Rand McNally for a replacement for an older version. But this book was a disappointment, with too much map crammed into the book to be very useful. The font on the maps and in the indexes was too small for me to read even with reading glasses - I needed a magnifying glass. And the maps themselves were cumbersome, with the maps split across pages, yet without any overlap at all to make following a street a little easier. And the splits did not occur at logical places - even my small town of 8000 residents was split across pages. The streets in many areas are too small to label, so they use a legend of numbers, printed elsewhere on the page, or even on another page, where you have to hunt for the names. Further, since this area is part of a much larger system of maps, the maps have four digit page numbers, making it more complicated to relate streets in the index, also split into many pieces, to the many maps. This would be very difficult to use in a vehicle.
