road atlas
Bound driving guide
A road atlas is a book of maps showing highways, roads, and routes for a region or country, designed for navigation while driving.
Before GPS and smartphone maps became standard, a road atlas was essential equipment in most vehicles: We kept a road atlas in the glove compartment.
The format typically shows interstate systems, state routes, and city street maps with indexes for finding specific locations.
