In this work, the 176 pages of main road mapping are at the super-clear scale of 2 1/3 miles to 1 inch (Hebrides and Orkneys at 3 1/2 miles to 1 inch). The maps mark roundabouts and multi-level junctions clearly, and in rural areas distinguish between roads over and under 4 metres wide - a boon for caravanners and drivers of wide vehicles. The atlas also includes route-planning maps, an M25 map, full listings of mobile speed-camera locations, 12 large-scale city approach maps, and 35 extra-detailed town and city plans.
The index is in larger print than normal and is ultra-legible."Philip's EasyRead Britain" is the best large-scale atlas on the market for leisure driving, with a huge amount of detail on places to visit. National and Forest Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty are clearly depicted, and the layer-coloured contours show upland and highland areas. Long-distance footpaths, viewpoints, beaches, golf courses, campsites and caravan sites are all marked on the maps.
Numerous additional features include restricted motorway junction information, a distances chart (including estimated journey times), and a central London street plan.
