March - April 2008 - Travel Road Atlas Rides On Few people can see a road atlas without thinking of vacations, adventures or other memories of travel. And fewer can resist flipping through one, looking for the familiar or dreaming of exploring new places.
An up-to-date road atlas can also contribute to a safer journey, as travelers can avoid finding themselves lost or on the wrong road, and it is considered an essential item to keep in a vehicle at all times. The auto traveler on a leisure trip may be the most frequent user of a road atlas, but it has a varied following. Hikers, bicyclists and even a gentleman crossing the United States on a riding lawnmower have benefited from the guidance of an atlas. It has accompanied traveling businesspeople, struggling bands on the road, those on an undefined life journey and hapless criminals whose atlases detailing their plans became evidence. Not recommended is the use by a British sailor who has had to be rescued numerous times while attempting to navigate the Irish Sea using a road atlas of Great Britain. Covering the United States, Canada and Mexico, the AAA Road Atlas features the latest AAA/CAA comprehensive road information, as well as inset city maps, same-page town indexing, driving times and mileage tables. The North American version is available in standard and large print editions. It is available at your AAA Central Penn branch, online at aaa.com/BarnesAndNoble, and at better bookstores. Your local AAA Central Penn office can also offer expert travel planning and booking services, as well as complete resources for auto travel.

The road atlas has a long tradition as a trusted information source on road trips long and short. Modern technology can provide alternatives for maps and directions, but atlas loyalists cite lower cost, reliability, ease of use, portability and detailed available information as advantages of the printed format.
