This title features clear mapping, use of colour and a clear road hierarchy. It uses the most up-to-date digital data from Ordnance Survey and the AA. The text highlights 24-hour petrol stations, AA service centres, plus recommended restaurants, pubs and hotels. Clever use of colour means that the atlas can be read under street lighting, while a "battleship" grid with national grid referencing should make for easier referencing. Details such as one-way streets are clearly marked.
