Rand McNally 2021 National Park Atlas & Guide (Rand McNally Road Atlas)

Very good road atlas. Well-printed and easy to read. The spiral binding makes it much easier to use. The National Park info is a bonus. Sometimes a book is better than an electronic device. We keep this in the RV when traveling, partly as a backup to electronic devices and partly due to its ease of use. Good value, recommended.

I was slightly astonished at how big this was when it came in the mail. You'll probably want to use other sources (Wikipedia, Google Maps, etc.) as your main go-to's, but there's something very nice about having a physical book to look at. It's good that it's spiral bound, because you're not going to have enough space in the car to ready it fully open!

Love it! Great details and pics on all the national parks pages and seems easy enough to follow. Will use for road trip in a few months and looking forward to using this book. It is a big book, I was expecting magazine size but it's like the length and width of 2 magazines side by side but that's ok!

For those who really like to read and touch and flip a page. This is great. I'm planning trips and I'm not staring at a small phone screen. Yes I'll still use Google MAPS but I can easily look at the different options for a route where it could take me off the beaten path and alternative scenic routes and new adventures. This is a great for the road travelers and a great gift for someone. The large book is very large, but its also very nice when discussing and viewing with your partner in travel!!!

March 2021 - Four parts to this review (Atlas, Parks Guide, Size and Use, Binding) ... ATLAS 5-Stars - Rand McNally delivers another good atlas. If you like their atlas, you will like this one. It is not more and not less than the traditional RM atlas. No more detail, no less detail, simply updated and current. PARKS GUIDE 1-Star - 'Parks Guide' was a big disappointment. Essentially a few paragraphs on four standard sections for each park listed. Not all parks are listed, and the sections are very very basic info along the lines of 'if you like hiking, you can hike here (well duh) and try the xyz trail, if you like camping you can camp here and ....' No much insight unless you have never been to a national park in your life. SIZE/USE 4.5 Stars if that were possible - Size is a real 5+ star, great size to fold out in your lap while navigating and not have to deal with a billboard size atlas, map orientation shifts a bit based on size/geographic shape of the state, but that is a minor hurdle to get over. BINDING 0 Stars to minus stars! - metal spiral binding is a "what were you thinking???!!!" Snags on clothes, rough on hands, gets bent, looks cheap, etc., etc., etc., Larger size RM atlases have the plastic coil binding which is opposite of all these criticisms and works great. So, we went to a binder and replaced the metal (again 'what were you thinking!!!) a plastic binder and could not be happy. If you agree on the binding, add $1-2 to purchase price for the binding replacement and you are good to go. All in all - very pleased with this Atlas. WJ Mar 2021

This is a high quality map and it has a spiral cover so the pages don't get torn up. I liked it so much I bought another one for a recent college grad who wants to travel across the US and camp. This has national parks listed on it. The print is not miniscule, as it is on most regular maps now. It is a 46-page map, so that says it all. Highly recommend!

I would prefer to get the spiral-bound two-state layout without the National Park section but this was the only one available. The NP section makes it heavier than past versions of this road atlas. The NP section is interesting, but I can get all that the internet. That said, you just can't get the same map experience electronically. Google maps and satellite is great when you want to get into the nitty gritty. When you want the macro view this version is the best. Find places you wouldn't otherwise think of going!

As always this is handy & up to date getting you where you need to go. It’s always good to get a good look at things on a map rather than just using your navigation on vehicle. This allows for a good look ahead.

Love this map for reviewing past trips and planning new ones. I did my research before buying - Compact, EasyFinder, Midsize and Large all have less data than this one. If you don't need the parks get the standard edition (staple/laminated cover), not one of the special sizes noted above. The best part of this atlas is that toilets and rest areas are marked on the map (unlike the special size editions). This is a huge game-changer for me as in many states I have noticed that the rest area notice signs are posted so close to the exit that I do not have time to slow down or switch lanes. This gives me a way to predict when one will be coming up so I can be in the correct lane. Very happy with this purchase.

Big size road atlas with plenty information

Purchased as birthday gift for my partner. The Road Atlas is excellent quality and was exactly what he was looking for when traveling across Canada and into the USA. Also, includes a travel guide to America’s 61 National Park. Very sturdy guidebook.

Love the detailed maps and also the portion on the US National Parks.

Parfait pour nos besoins!
