Back in the summer, I reviewed the official state road maps that had accumulated in my glove compartment. On my recent trip to Philadelphia, I picked up a new state's map--Delaware. Since I was only going to follow I-95 through Delaware, I did not use the map for nagavation, but it does seem to be a quality map. While I think the folding of the map could be improved, the scale is approximate 1 inch equals 2.75 miles, making it the largest scale now in my truck. It also has several inserts of different cities, and even a table of airports providing the elevation, length of longest runway, whether or not it has runway lights, and whether it is a hard surface or turf.

When I asked the guy at the info desk at the welcome center/service area for a map, he not only cheerfully provided the map, but he also gave me four different booklets of information on what to do in the state and where to stay. They total to about 300 pages, or roughly one page for every 6.5 square miles of Delaware.
