"Benchmark is the standard for us after looking at the Rand McNally and deLorme maps. We travel a lot on back roads, and haven't found anything that compares to the accuracy of these maps. We have worn out several of these maps amd repurchase them as needed. I wish the binding was better, and also wish they had more states. We love Benchmark maps!!"

• Benchmark Atlases are the benchmark from which all other road atlases are measured. My GPS nav system, as well as Google maps, will direct me to take dirt roads as part of a 'shortest route.' This is not an acceptable route on my Goldwing. These detailed maps clearly and precisely show the type of road from interstate to 4-wheel drive. It has helped me avoid bad routes numerous times. I also have one DeLorme Atlas (Nevada). The DeLorme has topography on the maps, but the lines are faint and tough to see and not detailed enough for real topo use. The Benchmark maps do not have topography, but they have a decent representation of elevation through coloring and shadowing. From cross-country travel to back-road use, I recommend Benchmark.
• Benchmark is the standard for us after looking at the Rand McNally and deLorme maps. We travel a lot on back roads, and haven't found anything that compares to the accuracy of these maps.

• I purchased this atlas for motorcycle touring in California, and as a map collector, this is by far the best small-road atlas of California I have ever seen. The relief is excellent, they show a multitude of small roads, and could spend years going through this atlas looking for day trips on the bike. This shows roads much better than a topo map, and relief much better than a road map. It is the best blend of what a traveler needs for unfamiliar roads in California. I have to keep an eye out for updates when this one gets old!
• I bought this for a recent driving trip through California. I have a GPS, but it does a lousy job of giving a "big picture" view of things, while the Benchmark guide is much more useful. On the other hand, it doesn't really have enough detail for street-level navigation of major cities, but it's hard to fit street-level maps for all of California into a book that mere mortals can actually lift.
• More than just an atlas of maps, Benchmarks are works of art. The topography section is gorgeous and to me the most useful. Not everyone cares when driving from point A to point B what the topography is, but the West is all about topography. Benchmark tells you at a glance which route goes through flat desert and which one skirts a mountain range. I drive 5000-10000 miles each summer on road trips, mainly just drifting where the road takes me, and I have Benchmark's California and Utah so far. I've ordered Oregon and Nevada but tells me they're out of stock though they seem to be available in (ugh) retail stores.
• Very detailed.
• Perfect - thank you!
• This is a good product. It has two styles of maps in the book. One is a detailed road map. One deals more with recreation which is more detailed. It includes trails, boat ramps, campgrounds and fire lookouts.
