    5 out of 5 stars The Very Best   August 30, 2008
    Ahh Lads and Lassies,
    This atlas made our trip to the "Old Sod" very enjoyable. We motored around viewing the beautiful scenery from Shannon to Malin Head and back, without a missed turn. Well, there was one missed turn, but that was due to human error...
    The scale is 1: 200,000, which is the best I could find...anywhwere.
    The pages are numbered clearly. The maps are perfect;y accurate.
    The references to other related pages are smooth and easy to follow.
    It was our first trip driving the country and we had nary a hitch.
    Highly recommended by this Yank.
    This is the First Edition from April 2004, so I am looking for the next edition, I hope, coming out soon. Who knows?
    Also you would do yourself a big favor by going to www.theaa.com>travel>route planner to route your Ireland trip and get turn by turn (mapquest-like)directions.
    These two resources should help you to navigate about in a knowledgeable manner.
    Go to Ireland...you deserve it. Remember to go left when you reach the round-abouts, Lads and Lassies.



    4 out of 5 stars same as AA Road Atlas Ireland except for binding and cover   October 28, 2006
      10 out of 10 found this review helpful

    This seems like it may be out of print. (That's what it says on many other websites, and Amazon kept delaying and delaying my order, until I cancelled it today.)

    Since I was going to Ireland soon, and feared this would not get to me in time, I ordered the newer AA Road Atlas Ireland (by "AA Publishing") that Amazon also sells. I just got that today, and comparing it against the "Search Inside" sample pages of this, it appears that these two Ireland road atlases are identical on EVERY SINGLE page that the "Search Inside" shows, except for the front and back cover. (The maps divide at the exact same points, have the same colors and dual language names, etc.) The only other difference I see is that the AA Road Atlas Ireland is not spiral bound like this one was. (And though you can't see it in the sample pages, the AA Road Atlas has been updated more recently, in terms of roads under construction and such.)

    Therefore, if you wanted this but are unable to successfully order it (or just want to get the same content faster), I suggest you look at the AA Road Atlas Ireland.



    4 out of 5 stars driving in Ireland   July 16, 2006

    5 out of 5 stars Indispensable   March 21, 2006

    You need this atlas if you are going to drive yourself around Ireland. The maps are easy to read and finely detailed. Many of the names are given in both English and Irish (Gaelic); this is essential because many road signs are now in Gaelic. With the Atlas in hand you will be able to figure out where you are, and you will also develop a feel for Gaelic spelling and pronunciation.


    5 out of 5 stars Easy to Use   September 5, 2005
      23 out of 23 found this review helpful

    The print and use of color makes these maps very easy to use, and let's me set off on my trips with confidence that I'll have a relatively easy time navigating to where I need to be. Details like diagrams of ferry ports and possibly confusing bypasses are a wonderful addition. The spiral binding and pages are high-quality and stand up to a lot of use. A must-have on any roadtrip.
