Dear Mappers,

A new Michelin, "European" style road atlas.

The Michelin North America Road Atlas 2003

ISBN: 2061004423
Price : CAN$19.95
MapQuest map data
Spiral Bound
Size 9 x 11 inch

This new spiral bound road atlas gives extensive coverage of North
America. This includes city and local maps, city to city distances and
driving times (in miles and kilometres). Also given are road condition
update telephone numbers and local driving requirements as well as
monthly climate conditions for all major north American cities. The US
section includes large scale maps for the northeast corridor. All place
names are clearly indexed and colour coded.

In my opinion the most significant new feature is the way that this
atlas is organized, each country is divided into a grid. Turn the page
and view the region to the east or west in a logical manner. Other quick
location reference guides are printed on each map and there is a half
inch overlap in map data. This is different than most other North
American road atlases where generally each state is a separate map
arranged alphabetically.

For a long road trip I would choose this atlas.
Faithfully,
Brad Green
