"Philip's Driver's Atlas Britain 2008" contains all the map features normally included only in the more expensive road atlases. The front section has a route planner, distance table, legend, street map of London, chart of motorway junctions with restricted access, plus a key map. The 96 pages of road maps cover Britain at 3 miles to 1 inch (Scottish Highlands and Western Isles at 4 miles to 1 inch, Orkney and Shetland at 5.25 miles to 1 inch). The maps clearly mark service areas, roundabouts and multi-level junctions, and in rural areas distinguish between roads over and under 4 metres wide - a boon for drivers of wide vehicles. The town plan section includes 53 town and city centre maps, marking car parks and places of interest. Completing the atlas is a comprehensive index of 28,000 place names.
"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 the scale of 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.
