Thomas Guide Map Books

by Robert Mac

Thomas Guide map books are detailed, user-friendly, and thorough--they make other US maps look like a pirate's treasure map. Thomas Guides use the latest technology to update and maintain their maps, so all of their cartographic products are both current and standardized. Thomas Guide map books use a simple page-and-grid system to let you easily find what you are looking for, and are comprehensive enough to let you discover everything from shopping centers to campgrounds.

I use Thomas Guide map books almost every day. Living in Los Angeles can be daunting at times, especially when driving to a section of the city you've never visited before. I have two Thomas Guide map books: one at home to plot my routes, and one in the car for spontaneous trips. They couldn't be easier to use: I pull over, find my location on the large area map, then look up the detailed map on the page listed.

Thomas Guide Map Books Are Indispensable

It's true: Thomas Guide map books are requisite for anyone relocating to a new city or traveling to an unfamiliar area. They list and identify everything--schools, carpool lanes, hospitals, and mountains. And since they are updated annually, you can trust that you are getting the most up-to-date information available, presented in a practical layout. I couldn't get around without mine.

What makes Thomas Guide map books so easy to use is the page and grid system: a large area map is divided into smaller zones on a grid, each with its own page number. Flip to that page--no unfolding necessary--and there you'll find an easy-to-read detailed map. Or, look up street names in the index and find your map that way.
