road atlases
Bound highway maps
Road atlases are bound collections of maps designed for navigation by automobile, typically organized by region or state with indexes for locating cities and towns.
Before GPS navigation became standard, road atlases were essential for long-distance driving: We kept a road atlas in the glove compartment.
They remain useful for trip planning and areas with poor cell coverage.
