Don't believe the B.S. June 1, 2000 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Exploring the U.P. and northern lower Michigan has become a weekend tradition for myself and my friends over the past year or two, and since picking up a copy of this book, our DeLorme Atlas has become dogeared from all the use it has gotten. There is simply no better map in existence unless you have access to USGS maps (and those aren't very portable). With this atlas and a GPS you could be knocked out and dropped anywhere in Michigan, and when you came to, you could find your way out. Even without a GPS it is an incredible resource. This is, quite simply, THE definitive Michigan atlas. Accept no substitute.
Keep this book in your car at all times! December 7, 1999 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I'm sorry to see some of my fellow Michiganders give this gazetteer a poor review, because I think it is excellent. My mother has a fear of driving on the interstate highways, so she's getting a copy for Christmas. And imagine how much better your vacations could be if you took to the back roads!
Not accurate for the north April 8, 1999 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is good for the southern half of the lower penninsula, but it is lacking in the Northern half from what I have found. I too have discovered that it shows roads where there are none, doesn't show roads that are there, and quite frequently (probably 30%) has the wrong road name. Don't venture into Norther Michigan and depend on this map or you'll end up in the middle of a National forest lost with out a reliable map to get you out. However, it is usually accurate in regards to highways and most main county roads.
Not very accurate January 24, 1999 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Although the books detail looks impressive, when you get onto the small back roads, where you really need detailed information, the maps too many times are not reliable and not accurate. They show roads where none exist, roads that do exist are not on the map, road names are often wrong, and all sorts of other innaccuracies.
Great road map book! November 30, 1998 This is better than a collection of county maps! The state is divided up into sections and you can easily follow a road or trail across the whole state! Highly recommended for "taking the long way home"!
