Product Description
California deserves an atlas that matches its varied culture and scenery and Benchmark s California Road & Recreation Atlas is it. Nearly 225,000 copies have been sold since its introduction in 1998...an impressive acceptance that has made this atlas one of the most successful California map products of the last decade. Now, the new 6th edition has improvements and refinements that will insure its continued success. Benchmark s Landscape MapsTM now show ground-cover detail at a very high-resolution. It s easy to see, at-a-glance, whether an area is forested, cultivated, marshland, desert, or scrubland. This feature is ideal for the person who wants to know the most about an area being visited beforehand. Along with the all-new Landscape Maps, Benchmark has extensively revised the 14-page Metro Map section. Of course, the atlas still has features people love; a complete Recreation Guide, page-to-page overlap and legendary accuracy, features that assure this atlas will continue winning accolades for many years to come.

new edition is too cluttered May 22, 2010

I've enjoyed the Benchmark atlases for years because they are (were) so easy to read. I much preferred them to the Delorme atlases for this reason -- they included enough information but not so much that it was cluttered. My old California atlas was wearing out so I upgraded -- but don't care for the new one. It's so much harder to read that we kept the old and will use it most of the time, referring to the new one on occasion. Benchmark has now included so much detail -- every tiny stream, for example -- that it's hard to read. Surely they have professionals on staff who know when enough is enough and when it's too much. Still, it's a good atlas, but I'd look at the alternatives before buying it and I won't automatically upgrade any of my other older atlases without checking out the new version and the competition.
