Hands down it’s the BEST!,
Without a doubt there is no map series better than “Roads of..” I’ve used the Texas and Louisiana editions for the last ten years and they are the maps you turn to when NO other map shows you the road you are looking for. While DeLorme’s Gazeteer series is close, it’s scale is just distant enough to where they don’t show road names for every small little road. Not so with the “Roads of” maps. You get everything! This is the absolute best way to navigate country backroads. Some of my work has involved highway and utility right-of-ways. This is the ONLY atlas that I have been able to use to find every possible access road I need. Want to know the name of that old dirt road off the end of that old gravel road? If it’s not in here, it doesn’t have a name, lol!

|roads of texas,
The Roads of Texas was introduced to me while working in the oilfield in Texas. It is very helpful in finding out of the way places and has never failed me. Very good book if you need to find your way on back roads.

|Lots of details and back roads,
This is the best Road Atlas for finding the back way to wherever you want to go in Texas. For the cities, you will need a city map, but for out in the country, you will be able to find your way down many scenic roads.

|Good guide, but not all an eBook could be,
I have had good luck with Frommer’s Guides for locations all over the world and welcome their recent appearance as Kindle books. In the past, I have cut out maps and sections of the paperback books to take with me on a trip so I could have a list of dining and sightseeing choices. With Kindle versions of the Frommer’s guides, I can now take the entire book with me. However, Frommers first attempt at moving to the electronic book world falls a little short of ideal. The guide seems to have the same content as the print version, but not enough effort has been made to take advantage of the electronic format. There is no index because there are no actual pages in the eBook, but an index with active links to the text would be even easier to use than a paper index. Cross references in the book could also benefit from active links. The table of contents is set up with links, so this somewhat makes up for the lack of an index. Also, all website URL’s in the guide have active links to your web browser, and this is very useful. The biggest disappointments for me are the maps. Only low-resolution bit-image maps are imbedded in the text. Much of the map is unreadable, and a pinch zoom on an iPad just gives a magnified view of the low-resolution map. Frommers does have zoomable PDF versions of the maps on their website, but this requires downloading the maps and moving them to iBooks, followed by a sync with a desktop computer. It works, but I would prefer the PDF maps to be imbedded in the text. An even better improvement would be an active link of each landmark to Google Maps. The Frommer website did not have the San Antonio – Austin PDF maps when I looked for them, but they put them up right away after I sent Frommer’s an email pointing out the omission.
The Kindle version is a welcome improvement over a bulky paperback that has to be added to luggage, and its content for San Antonio and Austin is just what I expect from the excellent Frommer’s Guides. However, it could be even more useful if it took full advantage of its electronic format. This deficiency may be in part to the constraints of a Kindle version, but the best medium for travel guides in the future is clearly the electronic book format.

|Another great travel guide from Frommer,
As with all of their travel guides it provides a variety of places to eat, dine, sleep and explore. Every restaurant that was listed was accurate. I have to confess, I am still a “paper” book guy, nothing better than turning the travel page, to find out what else is out there!

|Where is Austin?,
We were planning a trip to San Antonio and Austin. I like Frommer books but this one was not balanced. There was lots of good information on San Antonio but not as much on Austin which was disappointing
