highway map

Interstate navigation chart

A highway map is a printed or digital map showing major roads, highways, and routes across a region, designed for navigation by car.

Before GPS became standard, drivers kept highway maps in their glove compartments for road trips: We pulled over to check the highway map.

State highway maps were once distributed free at gas stations.
