Rating:  Summary: Disappointing Review: The organization of this atlas is not intuitive at all. I use an atlas for trip-planning as well as just for quick reference at home, and this isn't the one I'd recommend. I miss my old Rand McNally.
Rating:  Summary: Just OK Review: There's nothing exceptional about this atlas, and I find that I prefer a larger size. It isn't always easier to follow the state-by-state page layout. At times, I'd rather go back to finding state maps alphabetically. But the spiral binding is nice.
Rating:  Summary: What a great idea! Review: This is a great idea for an atlas. I don't know why this has not been done before. I found it so easy to use. The smaller size is great for the car. I used it on a trip this weekend and what a difference this size made. I like the fact that the index is alphabetical by all cities and not by each state. The scale did not change so I did not have to re-orient myself when I crossed over from Alabama to Florida. THANKS MICHELIN!
Rating:  Summary: Highly recommend this innovative atlas Review: 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.
Rating:  Summary: Michelin North America Road Atlas Review: Very Disappointing! I was not expecting a Michelin Road Atlas to be using Mapquest maps! I thought your 1:500,000 maps of the Mid-Atlantic and Southern New England areas were outstanding. I consider this atlas to be only mediorce at best. I hope you reconsider and use your own expert cartography in your next edition.
