It seemed to have more detail and bigger pictures than my old Rand McNally. I've never seen a road atlas that really gets down to street level, they're generally for getting from city to city or getting around a large metropolis. I've always found that an Atlas get's you in the ballpark, but for more detail you need dedicated maps of the area, a Thomas Brothers guide or these days a laptop and a program like StreetAtlas USA. By boss swears by his StreetAtlas USA and the USB GSP receiver be bought. Real time mapping in any rent a car. We're sales reps that cover the Southwest, so maps are an integral part of the job. HE's even got a GPS receiver and mapping program for his Palm, but it think that's more of a gimmick than a useful tool so far.
