Half of California is on one side, the rest on the other, split right across the area we were traveling South of San Francisco. This is an oversized map, and Rand-McNally has a good reputation, so I was expecting the larger size indicated more detail. That is unfortunately not the case and most of the added space is what the computer guys term "white space"; i.e., nothing in it. Moreover, the larger size makes the map more awkward to use in a car, especially when you need to flip between the front and the back. We were tracking missions in the area and ended up relying on an older, smaller, and out of date map we had along from a previous trip. In comparison, our older map had all of California on one side and had more detail.
I took the map out of the shipping box, opened the map, and it ripped. First thing.I have it pinned on a cork-board in my office so it will be fine, but it probably won't hold-up well if you're planning to use it in your car.
While the map has the interstate 10 well marked, the side roads and state roads are extremely limited. We tried to use it to go from Lafayette to St. Martinville, LA. It only had highway 31 listed - and only one state marker used that number!! Go to AAA and get their maps. While that one did not particularly highlight that area, it did mark the other highway designations that are well used on the roads and streets. Advice - pass on this map and get AAA's maps. oh, the GPS did get us there, but by the longest way imaginable! There is no substitute for a paper map, even if you create it yourself and print it out.
I'm good with folding maps, but the crisp paper this one is printed on is very easily torn. Not the best for a car trip!
Planned a trip to Los Angeles and this map beforehand fit the bill. Was able to plan routes, sightseeing areas, and local byways to avoid traffic jams. Recommend this map for anyone considering a trip to the greater Los Angeles , California area.
I was so disappointed Rand McNally. This map did not have a correct section of where a town is located, therefore we had to drive miles out of our way and when looked on Google maps, the town and road were labeled correctly!
There is a true art to creating a map as anyone like nerdish me is prone to do. This map won't let you get lost but some of the crowding of words and locations could have been better done. It is Rand McNally which is the benchmark of maps, like Chevrolet or Ford are the benchmarks of cars.
I am used to using maps on line or on phone, but this kind of old school map is great for planning a sight seeing (bird watching, fishing, golfing) trip involving a significant area of the state.I found it a useful addition to on line info and Suspect it will also be useful during the trip
