travel atlas

Portable map collection

A travel atlas is a book of maps designed for people on the move, typically focusing on roads, highways, and routes rather than topographical or political detail.

Travel atlases often include city maps, distance charts, and points of interest: We kept a travel atlas in the glove compartment before GPS made it obsolete.
