Summary: WHY one map per community?
Review: I used this map for many years, and never wondered if it had any relationship to why I was getting lost all the time. Then one day I was on a road trip thru Connecticut, and I saw Rand McNally's Boston Area atlas. In that one, it splits the area into grid pages... and every grid is at the same scale! You don't need to know what town you're in to find out where you are! You can see when a road changes name at the town border... because the map doesn't STOP at the edge of town! All the maps are at the same scale; I could tell how far away something was by where it was on the map! I don't understand why they make this map. Most of all, I don't understand why I can't seem to buy that Rand McNally map in any store in Eastern Massachusetts. All that have is this pathetic thing. I've had my Rand McNally for years, and I get lost much less often now. When I pull over, I can use the street lookup to figure out where I am, or I can trace my route from a last known location to where I think I am. I don't have to know where the towns begin and end... and find them as they're listed ALPHABETICALLY... as they are in this pathetic piece of mapmaking. Please don't encourage these people by buying this map. And tell all your friends. There IS a better way!
