 A great buy for any driver August 20, 2008

I'm not a trucker, but I bought this atlas, and I rate it highly. The reason? The large scale, which makes it very easy to plan trips, whether for business or pleasure. Even the smallest minor road is visible, and showing the contours of the land is a nice bonus. It is also useful to know where petrol stations are: we tend to take holidays in fairly remote spots.
Okay, I am never going to need the low bridge information, but it's still the best road atlas out there.

Excellent detailed road map and all the info you need for the roads.
Only the 1 downfall is the size of the thing, its huge! but its huge for a reason and thats cos its packed with info on top of info. Who needs a satnav when you've got this.
 Too heavy, too big, too cumbersome BUT great info on week bridges! February 2, 2008

I regularly use the AA Trucker's Atlas Britain but often fustrated with lack of info on week bridges instead of just low ones. So, thought I'd give this one a go. Too darned big to carry round (no bag of mine is big enough..umm only my suitcase). If you're an owner-driver or have a regular wagon so can safely leave your kit in the overnight then it'd be ideal to have with you as a back up to check your route through before setting off but be warned it is SO big that a quick flick whilst your 'at the lights' is a near impossibility! Not helped by the hard cover. If the AA added the week bridges to their other map I'd throw this one away.
Excellent - Should be in every trucker's bag. January 13, 2008

The level of information is far beyond any other atlas aimed at truckers that I've ever seen. As per the other reviews, plus stuff like if a fuelling station is open 24hrs or not (accurate at time of publishing of course).
I have the slightly heavier hardback version (not on amazon) for added durability.
Rugged, informative, accurate, excellent.

thought i'd grab this one while on offer at half price. Brilliant buy woudn't have minded paying full price for it.It's so easy to read compared to smaller atlases. not only does it cover bridge heights it covers width + weight restrictions as well as a good selection of truck stops +overnight parking fees.The only problem I have with this atlas is the poor quality of the spiral binding [easily bends which could cause pages to tear when turning]other than this its a great buy.
