Street and Road Maps

Street and road maps are often helpful when planning and navigating a trip.

• Highway maps are useful for planning and navigating travel between cities.
  
• Street maps show the layout of streets within a city and are usually more detailed than highway maps.
• Road atlases contain both types of maps. They show highways and usually feature detailed inset maps for major cities or metropolitan areas.
