Road maps California

Does anyone know any good road maps of Northern California? I heard
about the Thomas guides, are they any good? Looked on their website,
but it doesn't even mention the scale!

Thomas Guides are wonderful, but if you are a member of an automobile
club, you may be able to get free roadmaps from the California AAA.

Thomas Guides are very detailed, but also very bulky.
Mine is over 3 pounds. Scale is 1" = 1900'.

The AAA maps are better for tourists.

The AAA affiliates in California publish some very good regional
maps (there are two California AAA affiliates, CSAA for northern
California and the other one whose name escapes me for southern
California).

For European readers: that's 1.5 kg and 1:22800.

That would be ACSC.

If you're not a member of an AAA-affilitated club, the same maps can
usually be found for sale at local bookstores, etc. And the maps,
particularly those published by the Auto Club of Southern California, are
of very high quality.

I do not agree; we have visited California many times - as tourists, of
course, and the Thomas guides are fine.

You can get road maps at practically any gas station. But if you need
detailed street level maps, you'll need the Thomas guides, which are
probably also available from most bigger gas station mini marts.
