 A whopper of a map - with an index for those with good eyesight! November 5, 2008
Firstly let me say that the Atlas which I received was an English version. The legend etc were all in English. There are no alternative English spellings of German cities however (Munchen rather than Munich, or Koln rather than Cologne)but I would expect that if you were planning on driving around the country, you might be bright enough to know the names of the places you are visiting. The atlas is huge and very heavy - not a glovebox item - unless you are driving a truck. I am using it in my motorhome so we have plenty of storage. It was delivered in a huge box and I was initially concerned that the wrong item had been delivered. I need not have worried though as I have never been let down by Amazon. Map detail is very good - Not OS Landranger detail but very adequate for touring areas and following routes. A word of warning - if looking up a place in the index, you need very good eyesight. the entries are incredibly tiny - contract small print size! This is a reason for dropping a star on the review. The most comprehensive detailed Map of the whole of Germany for a very good price - recommended.
 Large but miserable May 18, 2008

I ordered this map for my husband, who still likes to read maps to plan travel, rather than just use our navi. It was a big disappointment.
The maps are large, but the detail is sad. Country roads are rarely marked with their numbers, but there is a mass of unnecessary information, ie "Regenhutte" etc. I would rather know where I am, ie the number of the road, not where the nearest hut is. For that I would buy a local walking map IF I needed that information.
The index is absolutely unreadable without a magnifying glass. Not something I usually carry in the car, and yes, the map is over-large. Though, of course, enlarging the index would make it even bigger. Suggest dividing up into four detailed maps of Germany - with a decent overlap area between the individual books please. In trying to save pages, they have made this book irritating and unpleasant to use.
 Poor, giant atlas July 14, 2006
2 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is probably the worst road atlas I have ever used. It weighs a ton and is massive and unwieldy, too big even for convenient use as a passenger, glad I wasn't driving and navigating. Although the legend does have an English version not all of the symbols are included anyway, even in the German version. Hard to tell where exactly places are and there is so much writing, etc on the map pages that you can't always see what's (and where's) actually under it.
I've given it one star as there are plenty of city centre plans, although as with the rest of the atlas they've gone overboard in trying to show too much with the massive pages when it would be better to fit more onto one page.
Would throw it away only don't want the bin men to be off work with hernias.
 Great Value German Road Atlas August 18, 2005
21 out of 21 found this review helpful
Previous reviewer says it is all German - however at least the key has an English translation (as well as French).It is superb value - on the back it says its RRP is 16.99. I weighed it and it is about 1.8kg - if I was to post it by the cheapest way (standard parcel) it would cost me just under 5 - and the atlas sells for only 3.99 (with free postage if you include other items to bump it up to 19)! The atlas is large (about A3) and as well as covering Germany (1:150 000) it also has: 16 districts (1:100 000) - Berlin, Bremen, Dortmund, Dresden, Duisburg/Bochum/Recklinghausen, Duesseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Hannover, Koeln (Cologne), Leipzig, Mannheim/Ludwigshafen, Muenchen (Munich), Nuernberg, Stuttgart, Wuppertal; 16 towns/cities (1:20 000) Berlin, Bremen, Dortmund, Dresden, Duesseldorf, Essen, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Hannover, Kiel, Koeln (Cologne), Leipzig, Mannheim/Ludwigshafen, Muenchen (Munich), Nuernberg, Stuttgart.
SUPERB GERMAN ATLAS August 18, 2005
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
An excellent atlas, well worth the price. Although the atlas is German despite the AA badge on the front, the legend is also in English so there are no problems with it. At 2.4 miles to the inch it has all the detail needed to get around Germany, with tourist spots and scenic routes picked out clearly. It's quite a hefty atlas so not one that you would want to carry around, but it's ideal for the car.
