Atlas
Topic 23484 | Page 2
I agree with big Scott.. the larger print Atlas is awful. Very thin laminated pages and tons of them. Instead of 2 pages facing each other for a state, some states are 4&5 pages. Not at all practical. Pages are so thin that they rip even though laminated.
Thanks guys, saved me a buck and frustration
I highly recommend a small magnifying glass. I don't need it very often, but grateful that I keep one for the times I've needed it. Pick one up at a Walmart or any truck stop for under 5 bucks. Who needs that gargantuan large print monstrosity lol.

When I was outfitting my first truck I thought I was soooo smart because I bought a magnifying glass. A couple weeks later I'm at a Love's waiting for a shower and I notice they sell magnifying glasses. Hmm, I guess I'm not the only blind ox hitched to this wagon.
I have both but prefer the large scale. It is easier to.read in the cities where many interstates connect with inner and outer loops. but again its preference

Thank you everyone!! I especially like the dry erase marker idea Susan D!! I appreciate all the different takes on it. But one thing I think is pretty clear.....paper bad....laminate gooood!!
Y’all be safe out there!!!!

FYI smart phones have magnifying glass apps now.... easy to use and free.

I was going to get a large print deluxe edition before I looked it over. for me, the area the large scale maps show is too small. But that is a personal preference thing I suppose. I ended up replacing my old one with a 2018 Deluxe - regular size. It is great in case I need it for something, but to tell the truth I haven't actually used an atlas for a long time. but gotta have one on the truck in case it is needed.
