Getting there should be half the fun

For Rand McNally, Skokie, Ill., knowing how to get somewhere just is not good enough. That is why, alongside more than 2,000 map updates, the 2006 editions of The Road Atlas and Road Atlas Travel Guide incorporate new resources, must-see spots, and fun facts to help drivers do, see, and enjoy more while navigating the country.

With The Road Atlas ($11.95) and Travel Guide ($14.95) in tow, travelers won't risk missing out on the new Wynn Casino in Las Vegas, Nev.; National Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame in Anamosa, In.; or the finally completed President George H.W. Bush Turnpike that runs north of Dallas. Users also have 16 new inset maps--for a total of more than 360--to guide them on their way through growing urban areas (including downtown Sacramento, Calif., and central Long Island, N.Y.), which never have appeared in previous editions.

The 82nd edition of the Atlas also salutes a special milestone: the 50th anniversary of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's landmark 1956 Federal-Aid Highway Act. In recognition of each year since the interstate system legislation, Atlas editors recommend 50 adventure stops across the country, like the Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument (Hagerman, Idaho) and the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center (Baker City, Ore.)--all within 15 minutes of an interstate.
