Product Description

Product Description

"Philip's Navigator[registered] Britain" shows speed-camera locations, with their speed limits, and provides over 3,000 road names as well as numbers. It also includes a massive selection of 72 indexed town-centre maps, plus airport and port maps, detailed approach maps, London main roads maps, detailed route-planning maps, a distance table, and a 43,000-name index which includes places of interest. The main road maps are at 1.5 miles to 1 inch (Northern Scotland at 3 miles to 1 inch) and are extra clear and detailed, showing even the smallest roads and lanes that are omitted from other atlases. Every roundabout, junction and slip-road is shown in detail on main roads and motorways. In country areas, thousands of individual houses and farms are marked, along with footpaths and tracks.The alpha-numeric grid is based on the National Grid, so that the atlas can be used with GPS systems, and the grid squares have been made smaller for this edition, making it easier to find locations when using the index. Thousands of tourist attractions and places of interest are shown on the maps, including national parks, nature reserves, houses and gardens, beaches, marinas, canals, county showgrounds, camping and caravan sites, shopping villages, tramways, World Heritage Sites, long-distance footpaths, sporting venues, park and rides, and ferries. "Philip's Navigator[registered] Britain" is widely used by professional drivers and the emergency services, including national police training, and is recommended in the motoring press and national newspapers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great detail and clarity - almost perfect., 10 Mar 2007
By Mr. R. B. Ager "Ronald Ager" (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is the latest biannual edition of Philip's behemoth of a road atlas. Unlike most other road atlases they don't put the year on the cover - if you're tempted to buy this in the high street (where the old one can still be found) make sure it's the one coloured grey/yellow with the blue strip at the top, and the map extract of Newbury.

Added features and improvements on the last edition:-

The best improvement is an increase, to 70, in the number of large scale inner city plans, and the introduction of "approaches" maps for 12 of the country's largest cities (13 actually, as Leeds and Bradford share one). Greater London is allocated eight pages.

By eliminating the margins round the map pages they have been able to reduce the dimensions of the book by 1.5 inches. This, together with a stiffer front cover for the traditional bound edition of the book, means that it is more manageable for the navigator (there is a spiral-bound version; this does not have the stiffer cover and is therefore still a bit unwieldy).

Speed camera sites. These are shown by speed limit signs, showing the relevant speed currently applicable on the stretch of road. This is better than the usual camera symbol which, being black, tended to compromise the clarity of the map in congested urban areas. There is also a list of sites at the front of the book. As always, such information can go out of date very quickly, so don't rely on it alone. The sites are not shown on the large scale inner city and approaches maps.

On the map pages themselves, the colours used are slightly darker this time. This does mean that it is less easy to see the stretches of trunk and A roads which are dual carriageways (shown by a black line in the middle) but it does make B roads more visible.

North of Stirling the mainland maps are 3 miles to the inch, rather than 1.5; however, since this is generally less urban, less cluttered country it is probably enough.

The Navigator atlas has a proven track record for detail and clarity and this largely remains the case. It's great for forward planning and is much less pushy than sat nav, and more versatile than PC mapping software. It does now have a rival, the AA Close-Up Britain series, which is better in a couple of areas, but worse in a couple more. This one is still the weapon of choice for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Road Atlas, 25 Mar 2007
By chris (NE UK) - See all my reviews
Can't be bettered for detail really or you'll be using OS 1/50,000 Landranger map next. Use a 4 miles to the inch standard road atlas (for a couple of quid ) to get to the area you want as much easier to handle and you can throw it around the car, then change to this when you get there (1.5 miles to the inch) just makes it much more interesting and fun close up. I dare you to get lost!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than a Sat Nav, 6 Oct 2009
By Mr. J. E. Palmer "Clockmanj" (Isle of Wight UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Glorious maps! You geta great overview of the county you are travelling through. Large maps with a grate scale. Easy to spot features such as parking places, picnic sites and view points. Alternative routes are seen at a glance. No tapping into a tiny screen. Distances are easily estimated with a distance scale in miles and kilometers on every page. There are very good overlaps when the page is turned. Excellent town centre maps are provided for all the major cities. Ferry information is also provided.
