Maryland at your Fingertips!
You're trying to think of something new and different to do with you weekend. It's Wednesday evening. Your loved one(s) are bored and restless and want to do something different. It's all up to you. . . What to do. . .

If you've been there before, there is one solution - this book of great maps. In addition to the detailed accuracy of the maps, there is a great section that details locations of interest, places to go, things to do, phone numbers you can call to make arrangements and get info. This could be the book that saves your weekend!

Stored in your car, it could also be the book that get's you where you want to go without driving to a gas station to get directions. If you've tried that lately, you know that your chances of getting good directions to far-off places are slim to none.

I have purchased several of these books - one for each state that I frequent. Whenever I want to get away, I take them out and see what I can find. We have visited covered bridges, homes built by Frank Lloyd Wright, cliffs and caves, museums and all kinds of historic landmarks.

For the price of a nice meal, you will have a travel companion for many years to come. While you can get maps on the internet, most of us still don't have that at our disposal when we are on the road. This book will be your guide!.

The best set of maps and super lists of outdoorsy stuff.
One road that was not on any map was on DeLormes, and two roads that I did not know about were there. I started with the NY DeLorme and was impressed with the accuracy of the maps. I have worn out 2 NY and have given 3 to friends/family.

I used to collect county maps for my Sunday drives but the problem was the inconsistency in quality and the discontinuity in road names and the constant change in scale not to mention the advertising etc. that was distracting. I also use gov't topo maps for my expeditions.

DeLorme solves the problems and gives even more. The maps overlap and DeLorme refers you to the next map (page number) intrastate and I wish they would also do it interstate (VA-WV) is a good example. It flows well going West to East or vice versa then the page references are especially helpful going North-South.

The special features such as Lighthouses, Bicycling and Habitats are worth their weight in gold. I find the standard ones DeLorme includes such as lists of state and national land, hunting etc. are very useful. I have seen all but one Chesapeake Bay lighthouse and it just would not have happened if I had to search out the info myself. Likewise, I would not have ridden most of the bicycle routes if the information was not easily accessible. The list of Unique Natural Features was especially good too.

This is a must for someone just moving into an area. It saved me years of picking up on my areas of interest.
