BULL
THE FACT THAT THIS IS A POCKET SIZED ATLAS IS NOT A DETAIL THAT SHOULD BE HIDDEN. IT IS A MAJOR DESCRIPTIVE ASPECT AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE PRODUCT TITLE>
Always keep a copy in our vehicles, updated yearly
We have always kept a copy of the Rand McNally Road Atlas in our vehicles; we find them to be invaluable when traveling on the road for basic directional help but also for find alternate scenic routes, etc. Yes, one would think having a GPS would negate the need to have this item. However, GPS units are not perfect and we have to use the atlas on occasion to get an accurate route. Recently, the charger on our GPS shorted out unexpectedly during one trip. No problem, since we had our road atlas in the car.
I do highly recommend getting the vinyl covered edition to help prevent the atlas from getting torn and beaten up. We had the 2008 and 2009 versions and both held up very well and neither are torn, frayed, or otherwise messed up any longer by general use with one minor exception.
I did learn a little lesson about the stapled binding and the vinyl cover as noted by reviewers of previous versions. This is caused by the thin paper and stapled binding along with the cover being tucked into the vinyl pockets on both sides. The cover can be separated partially or completey due to this and one day, a haphazard toss of the atlas caused it become partially separated from the cover. However, I found that by placing a rubberband around the center of the binding holds it all together perfectly. When we purchased the latest edition, we put a rubberband around it to help reinforce the stapled binding from the start.
One other note about the atlas, we really enjoy reading the general information about each state and the recommended tourist sites. This is a great stocking stuffer and valuable to have in your own vehicle, even if you travel infrequently.
The best road map out there.
The only road maps that are better are the Thomas Guides. We use this to get anywhere. The roads are all here with the distances between points and the proper names, and in some cases, the elevations. It is large enough to see without my reading glasses (for most of it). It is great for planning routes on trips because the big size allows you to see a grand scale of your route. You still need closer maps for individual cities, but this is a great Macro view of the US and Canada. We buy a new one every few years. It's great!

THE MAP WAS A "POCKET MAP", BUT NOWHERE IN THE AD DID I SEE IT LISTED AS SUCH.
Looks good, works good
Great atlas, but the vinyl cover is really just a slip-cover over a regular paper atlas. Which, maybe, is good for when you want to replace it. Certainly makes it more durable and spill-proof.
Also, it's a little large to fit neatly in the seat-back pockets of my CR-V. The maps are big and relatively easy to read though.
