I need a map. Please advise.
Edited on Wed Jun-11-08 12:19 PM by chaska
What, am I stupid??? Why can't I find a simple, legible roadmap of the Southeastern US? I've used the various online map services on the web (mapquest, etc.) for trip planning and such, but I just need a general map of the SE that I can keep on my desktop. Surely there exists such an animal.

Can you all help?

2. Start in the north. Drive south. Turn right at I-10.
You have now reached the Gulf Coast. Now get out, pop a beer open, and enjoy the beach.

4. the southeastern US covers a fairly large area; any map of the whole thing will be large
or will only show interstate highways and US highways along with major state highways. I would say your best bet is to go to Amazon or somewhere similar and order a Rand-McNally road atlas. Having access via PC is nice and convenient, but for some things paper is still better.

13. the google is hard to beat on maps
Aren't you glad you don't have everything invested in Rand McNally road maps?

They must be taking a beating. Key Maps, too.
