 Not bad, but a little confusing July 18, 2008
I purchased these maps for a trip and found that they did a good job in detailing the various bits and pieces of the Mother Road, for the most part. The written directions were a bit confusing at times - especially through Santa Fe, NM. Which caused us some frustration.
The maps and illustrations are fun to look at, but obviously not meant to be to scale, which could also lead to some confusion.
One might want to purchase additional maps to supplement these if they're looking for accurate Route 66 maps and information.
 Not what I was hoping for April 21, 2008

Everything arrived as promised; it just wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I had hoped for a little more detail, especially in and around the Metro areas.

This is not a map! It's just a pencil drawing of the road, with the name of the towns. No cartographic data for the surrounding landscape - no topography, no elevations, no vegetation, nothing. And absolutely nothing in the description of the item before you buy it tells you that this is not a map.

The information about how to get from one end of Rt. 66 to the other is very detailed, but I would like to see more of the "why" that all of these places are considered historic. Also, I would like to see the milage/eta written somewhere for each state. I like that all eight of the maps are specific to each state, and it is broken down well in that respect.
 Don't leave home without them!!! November 26, 2007

We just completed our trip from Flint MI via Amtrak to Los Angeles where we rented a car at the station, drove to Santa Monica Pier and began our odyssey on old Rte. 66 to Chicago. These maps were invaluable. We followed the road as true as we could with a couple of side trips and arrived in Chicago 11 days later. The maps, even though they were cartoonish, helped us around every right turn, bear left, etc. We would still be at Santa Monica Pier without them!
