National Geographic Road Atlas 2026: Scenic Drives Edition [United States, Canada, Mexico] (National Geographic Recreation Atlas)

Very easy and easy to use has nice color the print could be a bit bigger, But still did the job.

Good atlas, small size is good for car. Good historic things in it.

I grew up using folding maps and atlas's for travel, then eagerly migrated to GPS maps and digital devices. Routing with GPS cannot be beat for convenience and speed in setup. Yet on my long trips I often found myself wishing I had a large paper map to lay out and view. Looking for alternative routes and areas of interest becomes onerous on a small cell phone screen. While traveling the cell maps show just a tiny section of the route and you have to manually manipulate to see the larger picture, and even then the screen is so small that seeing details is impossible.I turned then to this Atlas to keep in my vehicles while making long trips. One of the inviting features of this particular Atlas that was appealing is the Scenic Drives section with maps by State and featured drives offering suggestions and greater detail for trips. This is very nice indeed and I've found it useful in coming up with ideas for pleasure trips, and even to enhance business travel.The cost is very low when compared to useful printed manuals and reference materials making this not only a no-brainer but really a "must have" purchase. I pulled a star only because the page size is really too small for the maps presented. It would be much more useful to print individual maps across two pages of this size to present the best detail. While the desired information is usually present, it is so small that you need reading glasses or a magnifying lens to see easily. Otherwise, this fulfills the mission, and the size does make it easier to store and carry. Overall, I'm very happy with the Atlas, and particularly at this price point.

GPS is great but you only see what’s on the screen. We got rid of our road atlas and those clumsy AAA tripits -all good in the day. But after seeing our friends use one on our recent excursion we bought one - a small Rand McNally road atlas 8x11 that fits between the driver or front passenger seat. Game changer. It helps us see what’s ahead etc etc and either helps us stick with the GPS or take another route. Also shows names of towns ahead and even an attraction you never knew about. Things we used in the “good old days” can still be useful.

I like the details, NPs highlighted, to keep us on the right path!!Have a smaller less detailed one too. I NEED BOTH!

I like the size of the atlas and bought it for scenic drives but it only lists 20. Also, it doesn't designate scenic roads such as Ut12. Will be looking for another.

As nice and handy as it is to view phone and tablet screens, it is still and probably always will be great to use atlas’s for viewing travel necessities and opportunities. This is a nice one. Would make a great useable gift also.

Got it for a friend going on a trip. Even though she has GPS, i still wanted her to be able to plan her route with a reliable map. We have all known google maps stories that send your car into a lake. Lol. Anyway she is very happy with it.
