Still early, but, at least, still being printed.

Meanwhile, in June, RMcN is releasing 'American Journey', a hardcover book that includes all the Road Atlas covers from all 95 years of its history.  The cover shows a collage of some of the covers silhouetted in the shape of the US highway shield.  If they're doing this for 95, what are they doing for 100?

I am excited to hear this news! 

However, due to the way I usually do things, I probably won't get my own copy of it until my birthday (in November) or Christmas (December). This means I'll most likely have it by the time it is 2019, though.

Amazon has it coming out tomorrow.  Looking forward to another round of "Spot the Changes" .

I got my 2019 Rand McNallys today.  Welcome aboard I-11 and southern I-87!

[Henry]

Are the I-95/PA Turnpike interchange and I-295 extension being marked yet? They certainly weren't there in 2018.

   Looks like in a couple of weeks I'll be making my annual trip to Plainfield to the Barnes and Noble over there to go pick one up.

Yes, the PA and NJ state maps (and Philly inset) show 95 running across the turnpike bridge now with the interchange at 95/276.  The NJ state map and Trenton inset show 295 in PA now as well.  Rand McNally has us all ready for 2019!

At long last, I-95 is complete from Houlton to Miami!

Does it still show NJ 29 as being a limited access highway with one interchange from Trenton to (now) I-295?

They fixed that - 29 is shown more accurately there now.

Amazon is slow walking my preorder.  The atlas came out on Monday.  No shipping notice as of Thursday (today).  If this happened to any of you, give them a ring via their website and chat with a rep.  I wound up with a $5 credit for eligible orders from Amazon.

I just placed an order for the standard one and compact one. These are the first ever I'm getting. Hoping they'll get here in a few days.

According to the B&N website they have them in stock in Plainfield already!!! I'll have to make my trip over there on Wednesday to go get it. I'm off that day and have no plans. My typical boring life  .

Will pick my copy up from post office tomorrow -- looks like Amazon packaging won't fit through the mail slot at my office (where I get everything shipped; front door of my home is too close to the street to dare leave anything on the front steps for more than a few minutes).  So I'll have to do the traditional year-to-year comparison/update scan later this week.  Have heard about the posting of I-11 and the southern I-87; it'll be interesting to see what else triggered Rand McNally's cartographic efforts. 

[DJStephens]

Hopefully they have a roadgeek or two working there to make it correct.

Mine got here! As soon as I got it I got a small crease in the otherwise pristine cover. That one'll be bugging me for a while. 
I also got the compact version, because I like miniature things. I didn't check the size of the thing so it was larger than I expected. Now I can add both these to my collection of maps, which mostly consist of the maps you get at rest stops and the like.

The 2019 edition made it in today.  I'll be giving it later this month to a friend as part of a grab bag of b-day presents.  There's a few errors in Oregon and California but hey, it's Rand McNally after all!  Nice to see I-11 showing up too.

Rick

[briantroutman]

Still no update to the iOS app version of the print atlas, by the way.

[Jim]

They can get the benefits of that for free by having someone monitor this forum..

[tdindy88]

I took a quick look at the 2019 atlas today with Indiana. They do have I-69 marked from Bloomington to Martinsville with the exits marked but not numbered.

What were they? If it's signing OR 380, that's actually correct!

On the topic of minor mistakes, I had noticed that the new US 74 Monroe Bypass was in the atlas, but not consistently. Some pages had it and some didn't. I also don't think I saw I-11 on one of the pages, however I don't want to go back and find it if that's the case, not that big a deal.

Roads are shown incorrectly in some places.  There is no expressway 97 in Klamath Falls.  That section is freeway.  42 is not 4-lane all the way to Coquille from Coos Bay.  There is a 4 mile gap.  42 is expressway from Winston to Green but the map shows it as 2-lane.  126 is 4-lane west of Eugene to about two miles past the Beltline Road intersection but the map shows it as 2 lane.  The one mile of ODOT's bad idea, 4-lane parkway, does not show up by Lincoln Beach.  A section of freeway on 18 by the Indian casino is not shown.

Oh well, other than us who are local, no one can pronounce "Oregon" correctly so why should some mapmaker in parts way away from here get our roads right?

[theroadwayone]

Well at least the I-95 interchange is signed. It'll be official in four months, but who's counting?

Where I live, Oregon is pronounced correctly, but Nevada and Colorado are not.
