Money wasted
Very flimsy format, pages break easily. The level of details for parts of Eastern EU is quite poor (namely Romania and Bulgaria), even if the atlas should have included a full map for the entire EU. It's not an expensive atlas, but it's not a good one either.
A good atlas - nearly excellent.
It's a perfectly good road atlas that does what it says on the cover, and at a very decent price. It's just got one or two oddities.
For example, there's no large-scale coverage of the British or Continental ferry ports or Channel Tunnel, which are the only bits which every user is pretty well guaranteed to want.
The map projection, especially in the UK, looks really weird too, since the grid lines on the maps are not parallel to the global lines of latitude, which we are used to. So it looks as if Brighton is south of The Lizard. I appreciate that drawing a round world on flat pages always has to involve compromises, but we are so used to seeing Great Britain drawn straight that this wonky version looks very wrong.
Scale not large enough
After getting this map for a bit of a roadtrip through europe, I was frustrated to find it very difficult to have a clue where we were going if we ventured off the motorway! The scale is too small to include many roads we found ourselves on just by turning off the motorway.
Other than the scale, the map was fine.
