This book is intended as a quick, easy to read, easy to understand tutorial on how to read a U.S roadmap--an actual, printed roadmap. Every driver should know the basics of how to interpret the common types of printed maps. -Highway and Interstate maps -City street maps -Rural county maps -Topographical roadmaps -Forest Service maps -Legends and keys Despite the seeming ease of using GPS devices, on-line mapping applications, and other gadgets that provide turn-by-turn instructions, if those digital resources are not functioning, or if you wish to obtain an overview of where you are or what might not be popular enough to appear in the digital mapping, then a paper map or road atlas might save the day. Having a real map in the glove box is wise.
