2019 Rand McNally EasyFinder® Midsize Road Atlas Rand McNally 9780528019654 Books Reviews
- I've been using a Rand McNally road atlas for many years. I thought I would try this EasyFinder version since my eyesight isn't what it used to be. I was very disappointed in it. The maps are indeed much easier to read. However, the amount of detail that has been lost is just unacceptable to me. My own town has disappeared from maps! I like being able to see small towns and roads other than just the major ones. This atlas reminds me of the maps you get online when searching for a location. You have to get closer and closer to get any real detail. However, that isn't possible with a printed map. If you only want the major roads and larger cities, and you intend to get individual maps for each state you visit, then I guess this would be fine for you. Personally, I would prefer having to use my little magnifying glass if necessary, in order to have the detail available. I intend to purchase the larger size atlas that isn't a large-print version, just as I have in the past. I think I'll be much happier with that.
- I pre ordered the 2019 McNally Road Atlas.
It arrived the day after release.
We usually keep a Atlas in my Truck and car but mainly use GPS to map the Drive or find a location.
We rarely use them, just have them for a backup.
This is the first spiral bound Atlas I have ever purchased.
States are broken in half and leaves a huge gap between the separation.
I don't care for it at all and would not buy another one. - Like the size for car travel. It offers states alphabetically unless they are small, then you must use the table of contents to find them. Includes provinces and major cities. Several states require 2 spreads or so, which is nice, as they tried to maintain the same scale for all maps. Details include national parks, sites, monuments, state parks, camping, etc. We used Google maps to supplement the atlas. The centerlines are sometimes carelessly placed, so some details are lost. We used it on a 3 week trip through 26 states and a province with good success. One nice feature if you are looking for an adjoining map, a yellow box identifies which page to turn to in each direction. The spiral binding is getting a bit worn, but we used it a great deal.
Would have liked more small towns indicated. - This road atlas was exactly what I expected. It’s small enough to fit in the backpack I keep in my trunk, along with my other emergency supplies, and has enough detail for my needs. It’s about the size of a piece of printer paper and maybe a half an inch thick.
I have attached three photos to show you how this atlas is formatted. In the first photo you can see the list of cities and states that are shown in this atlas. The second photo shows one of the four pages of California. The third photo shows the City of San Diego.
The state maps are going to show a general overview of the highways that connect throughout them. The major city maps then show a closer look at the main roads.
I’ve been reading the other reviews and I have to say... It’s unreasonable to think that a road atlas of the entire United States (this size) would show incredible detail. Be realistic with your expectations. If you need an atlas with a lot of detail I would recommend getting the larger version of the Rand McNally road atlas (which I also own). The larger road atlas I keep in the car but does not fit in my backpack. I got this smaller atlas in case I need a map when I am on foot. - Major roads only. Few if any secondary roads. Same goes for city maps. Detroit -yes, Battle Creek - no. I bought two, one for myself and one for a friend. I thought the "size" and spiral binding would make it the perfect map for a car, you know, easy to access and read. It is, if you only want to travel the main roads and super highways. DEFINITELY NOT for anyone who wants to meander down the back roads and truly see America.
- A little too small print for me and the spiral was directly in the middle of the cities I drive through most often. I ordered the large scale version instead.
- Bought this to replace a 2010 loarge-sized Rand McNally Atlas. We just completed 3200 miles across country in a rented truck and had to rely on call-phone navigation programs. The Interstate segments that connect in cities are unlabeled. Distance indications are limited. Some Interstate exits are labeled, many are not. The spiral binding is nice but the pages were cut so that it is hard to follow across the edges. Nice looking, good to see relations and the paths of major highways but you will need more to actually drive the routes.
- Love the large format but pages are mixed up. Some are doubled, others are missing. Everything before of 80 and after 97 is correct but in between, some states are left out (KANSAS, KENTUCKY, LOUISIANA, MAINE , Western MARYLAND)
