Garmin Delorme Atlas & Gazetteer Paper Maps- Arizona, AA-000005-000

I recently went on a long road trip to celebrate my retirement. I would be driving thru at least 6 states and wanted to have a hard map on hand for planning purposes. While I will have a Garmin GPS unit running, I do like having a manual backup - just in case. I also like having a map so I can spend an hour the night before reviewing the route and perhaps looking for side roads to adventure. The beauty of this retirement road trip is that if I see a road leading off into some unknown distant hills, I am free to go. Trying to get a feel for the terrain ahead or where interesting waypoints along the way on a tiny GPS is impossible. Having an actual map makes it so easy to look for alternate roads, forest service roads in the mountains, and possible stops.Now that I\'m home, my Atlas & Gazeteers are full of circles, scribbles, notes, and arrows. They got a lot of use. Even sitting at a rest stop, quite often other travelers would come up and ask me for directions to some place they\'re looking for.The only downside to these maps? Small print and I have old eyes. I brought along a magnifying glass to read it better. My bad luck to forget it at a rest stop and not realize it until I was 700+ miles away. I stopped at a Walmart and bought another.
Really great quality and easy to read . Lots of detail . It’s worked out great!
The DeLorme Arizona Atlas and Gazetteer is an excellent resource for trip planning. Arizona is a deceptively big state with lots of wide open spaces and some specially rugged terrain, including the Grand Canyon. This atlas should allow the average traveler to navigate pretty much anywhere on the road network, and to gain some appreciation for the terrain along the way. The scale of the map is 1:260,000, which is reasonably useful for the size of the state. Major roads are identified, and many minor roads are at least visible on the map. The multicolored presentation enhances the terrain relief. The map sheets are marked with latitude and longitude for GPS grids.In addition to a locational gazatteer, this Delorme Atlas provides general information on recreational opportunities. The listings include federal and state parks, game management areas for hunting, and locations suitable for fishing. There is a handy listing of campgrounds and one map devoted to the Grand Canyon, a major visitor attraction. The map scale is not suitable for off-road navigation. Those travelers planning to do off-road route finding are advised to consult more detailed products.The DeLorme Arizona Atlas and Gazetteer is very highly recommended for planning and navigating, whether for business or pleasure, around Arizona.
Used this continuously for a three week top-to-bottom road trip around Arizona. We knew many areas of the state lacked cell phone coverage where we\'d normally depend on Google or Apple Maps. Worked great 99.5% of the time with even the smallest roads well marked on the map. Unfortunately some state secondary roads which began as blacktop asphalt then turned to dirt roads weren\'t noted as such on the map. Haven\'t found this in any other state. Apparently Arizona is famous for this. Their secondary main dirt roads appear to be well maintained but are still dirt. Despite this, we found this map went down to a scale which even Google and Apple online maps can\'t match.All in all a great tool for a serious road triip. Will look for these when we do serious road trip through other states. It\'s overkill for casual transient travel through a state. Just stick with paper maps.
We purchased a replacement for a 20 year old version. There is a lot of info in these books so you can use as much or as little as you like. They are an oversized book so bear that in mind. Any smaller would be too difficult to read. The grid system mostly works, unless you are trying to bridge back to back pages, but you can\'t have everything. Includes: state info, contact for pertinent agencies, index of place names for larger cities, and specific info on the Grand Canyon at the front. Common/popular locations are cross referenced with info for fishing, hunting, recreation areas (camping, hiking, swimming, etc), and wildlife viewing. Street/road names do not go down to unpaved roads like forest or park service numbers. Topographic mapping and boundaries for states, counties, parks, forests, wilderness and BLM lands.
I live near four corners, and so I often camp and hike in multiple states. These maps are awesome to keep in the car. And when I need to, I can take a pic on my phone of a specific section to take with me when hiking.
I have at least 10 of the A & G\' series which I have used for many years. They are OK for run-of-the-mill road trips requiring only mid level road detail. Clearly they provide more detail and reference points than a \'state\' map. They are not to be relied on for serious off road back country travel or hikes. Yes, they are marketed as such and at first glance appear to be a one stop reference - they are not!They are adequate starting points although it seems whatever I am interested in is split between pages and I sometimes find myself tearing the book apart so I can see and visualize that area more easily. One of the things that truly frustrates me is the inability to differentiate between public and private unpaved \'roads\'. Not all landowners are forgiving, especially during hunting the seasons. When that happens the first thing I do, given the opportunity to explain, is show the A & G. Then say as humbly as possible - I think I\'m lost, can you help me? Depending on time of day an apology may get you an invitation to coffee or a meal.When planning my annual back country boonie photography trips I start with the A & G\'s, then topo software and Google Earth. Use the internet but exercise caution, it has both excellant and dangerous information. When my detail itinery is set I obtain the lowest level detail quadrant maps available. Once underway I rely on the A & G\'s, a vehicle GPS, my hand held GPS, a backup compass, my reference way points and maps. So far it has worked for me. Have a safe trip!
The Atlas was purchased as used in like new condition. The only issue was pages in the centre of the Atlas had come loose
