The A-Z of road atlases
Article Abstract:
Road atlases should be up-to-date, accurate and simple to use. There is a choice of hardback, paperback and stapled, perfect or spiral. Features may include a distance chart, town centre maps and extra information. The scale and coverage vary. There is usually a routeplanner and an index. It is helpful if the colour of the roads matches those of road signs. Other points considered are the representation of multi-level interchanges, page overlap and the depiction of details.
