Award winning Road Atlases (Auto Express: September 2007)

22 November 2007

Planning your day in the country a weekend away or simply having to drive to that meeting?

For the second year running A-Z Road Atlases have won ‘best buy’ and this year ‘recommended buy’ with Auto Express, beating the competition on ease of use and more importantly, having the latest road developments across the whole of the Britain.

Together with A-Z visitor maps and atlases, A-Z Road Atlases provide information on “how to get there” and “where to go” once you arrive at your destination.

Use A-Z Road Atlases to explore the highways and byways rather than being sent direct from A-B by other forms of navigation which so often miss out on the truly spectacular sites and depth of history that this country has to offer.

A-Z are the largest independent map publisher in Britain, and have been producing iconic products such as the London A-Z since 1936.

A-Z maps are based upon Ordnance Survey mapping of assorted scales, and then enhanced by the incorporation of additional material acquired by our own cartographers, from sources such as the Department of Transport, County and Borough Councils in order to provide highly reliable, clear and highly distinctive mapping.

All A-Z maps are drawn with a commitment to mapping excellence, aiming at maximum clarity.  Source data is constantly revised by our cartographic team based in Kent, helping ensure products as up-to-date as possible at the time of publication.

NOW available: AZ mapping for your PC, Pocket PC and most “smart” phones.

By using digital mapping in conjunction with your GPS unit, you’ll get live on-screen navigation as well as seeing where you are on your map. It’s a great combination for the walker. But which GPS unit to buy?
