Summary: Helpful Atlas & Terrific Size
Review: Every year, I buy a copy of the new Rand McNally road atlas. Although relatively few things change on the maps, the publishers always add new features and improvements. This year is the first time that I also purchased this Midsized edition. At first, I was unsure whether I would use it much; however, I found that it's the perfect size to keep in the car.

Recently, I was traveling long-distance and missed my normal turn-off; because of the inclement weather, I was distracted and didn't notice for awhile. Instead of being forced to turn around and backtrack, I was able to whip out my Midsized atlas and find an alternate route, all without stopping! The size made it perfect to read at the wheel, and the maps are clear and easy to read. It was much more manageable to read this atlas in the car than a regular atlas or road map. From now on, I'll be purchasing the midsized edition each year alongside the regular Rand McNally atlas.
