MAPS! Love my paper maps. . .

by Road

Easy to tell what I’m researching and thinking about as far as destinations when you see which map books I have out.

The DeLorme Atlas & Gazetteer map books pretty much set the standard when they started publishing the Maine Atlas & Gazetteer In 1976. It was their first product, and I’m tickled that Swiss company @Garmin, who bought DeLorme in Feb 2016, has kept the original cover for the Maine Atlas, while all other have the new cover.

DeLorme went on, of course, to develop the inReach, which set the standard for survival communication gear and is why Garmin bought the company.

I’ve owned and used several copies of the Maine Atlas over the years, starting when it was first published over 40yrs ago. The whole series is highly recommended. The back covers show how each state is divided up in pages for quick ref.

The Backroad Mapbooks from @backroadmapbooks are the smaller but equally impressive Canadian version and have proved indispensable in researching upcoming planned adventures. Highly recommended!

Last in the pic is my 2018 copy of The Milepost from @themilepostofficial, THE Bible of North Country Travel. Indispensable. Thorough. Recommended!
