Thank you for this I had no idea how to read a map and I do not want to rely on gps

It's a good idea to have a road atlas as long as it is up to date. I threw my old atlas out because it was outdated.

Just ordered the 2022 version of this atlas. I’m going to keep it in my car for emergencies. Their has been times where my car and phone gps would stop working, it sucks when that happens.

Learned a lot from this!! Thank you so much! I remember as a kid, the miles and minutes confused me. Now I know how to read them!

Honestly I have no idea how to read a road map. If I had to use that only I would be on an episode of Unsolved Mysteries as somebody who just disappeared and was never seen or heard from again. Thank God my truck is equipped with GPS.

I'm the same I can't read a atlas to save my life but due to a new job I'm going to try and learn as it would make my life easier as I need to plan roads via postcodes to save me going around in circles on myself!

Great video, I’ve had gps fail on me a lot, one day I was only ~20 minutes from home but didn’t know the area (always used gps and didn’t go there often), and it took me an embarrassingly long time to find a place with Wi-Fi to get google maps to wake up. I lived in a very urbanized suburb too, reception was normally fine but crapped out for some reason. A road atlas and physical maps should be part of drivers Ed imo. Also, the atlas doesn’t track, report, and record your location history like your phone does, which is nice, lol.

Do these atlas maps include detailed maps of all of the lower 48 states?

I just got my license and I always want to be prepared for the worst. I’ve got a car jumper, a window breaker and seatbelt cutter, a swiss army knife, a multitool, a boy scout survival book, a lighter, some cash and an atlas obviously. Anything I’m missing?😁

Hi. I realize this is an old video but I don’t see the link of where to buy this one. Can anyone please post it. Thank you.

Well, The road atlas is useful if your smartphone unit is out of data.
