I have noticed about a week ago that the new Rand McNally Road Atlas of 2017, has entirely skipped out of the familiar green florescent highlight for construction. Has anyone else noticed this too?
Since my reply didn't make the journey to General Topics once the mods moved the thread, I'll reiterate my reply here: The green overlay indicating construction zones has indeed been excised from the 2017 Rand McNally Atlas; the indicator for such in the legend has also vanished. I'm guessing that there might have been complaints/feedback about such, particularly since the atlases now are released 7-8 months before their calendar year ( indicated construction zones that weren't there, already completed, etc. -- or actual construction zones that weren't marked).
Did you not read Roadfro's suggestion on your, now locked, topic on the Southwest Board? Post your question to the topic he suggested (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=17685.0) instead of starting a separate one.
I already moved it to General Talk about Highways, and he already gave me the suggestion. It already has been answered, no need to comment more.

The point was that we already have a thread for the 2017 Rand McNally atlas.

It's obvious you did not read Roadfro's post. He suggested you post your question in an existing topic about the 2017 Rand McNally atlas. Instead you started a new one. :rolleyes:
Time to merge the first two posts of this thread into the existing "2017 Rand McNally Road Atlas" thread?
And for ACSCmapcollector to be more careful about starting new threads on topics covered by existing, active threads.
I would think that the AAA, or American Automobile Association would be a better choice for a Road Atlas, since H.M. Goshua is no more, what about AAA instead of Rand McNally?

I gave up on the AAA road atlases long ago, but don't know about the current offerings. What about them makes them superior to RMcNs? In particular, do the AAA atlases provide the highlight for construction you miss in the RMcNs?
BTW, your topic line is truncated as too long for topic lines on this forum -- I suggest you shorten it so it will all fit.

The AAA Triptiks are more accurate, however I will trust my own ACSC, Automobile Club of Southern California for highway information as well as Caltrans's own Highway Network number 1-800-427-7623 which tells you on the cell phone what highway construction or condition is going on presently, including on the website: http://www.dot.ca.gov/.

But what about the AAA road atlases? They're still around, AFAIK.
Yes I have know that, but this topic of discussion is all about Rand McNally Road Atlases, not the AAA Road Atlas. Make it so. Captain Picard would say.

I'm following up on that part of your discussion. If you don't want to stand behind what you suggested yesterday about the inferiority of RMcN's latest atlas to AAA's, please say so.
Well to be honest with you I haven't even purchase an AAA Road Atlas before, end of discussion. I don't know what an AAA Road Atlas looks like on the inside compared with Rand Mc Nally's, so there is an end of discussion for this subject.
I like the AAA atlases. Good color scheme and town indexing. However I haven't done a detailed comparison for which is updated more quickly.
I've always liked the AAA style, especially its demotion of population size. It seemed to me though that they were typically a bit more conservative on showing proposed road projects, which is what interests me most in looking at these maps. For instance, Rand showed the bypass of Nashua, NH as under construction for something like ten years, even though no work was being done, while AAA I dont think ever even showed it.

I like my 2016 AAA atlas. But the AAA and Rand McNally were both harder to find in Canada then I expected. I had to get my AAA atlas in Kenmore, NY.
I think getting rid of the construction zones is probably smart, since they get outdated quickly.

Here is the remastered version that was cut from Star Trek Beyond:
Not everyday you get the Kirk chop, kick, double fist and ear bop all in one fight but he went all out in that one. There is actually a top list of Captain Kirk fighting moves:
Lest we forget that fine Shanerian acting:
My opinion...his finest work:
Can the Dark Lord of the Sith compete with all that?....I think not. :cool:
I am proud of what I've done here...but maybe it shouldn't 'live long and prosper'. :spin: Anyway what are doing? If it's the end of the discussion you guys are looking for, make it so! :sombrero:

Saw it last week, I thought it was pretty decent. I actually watched the reboot and into Darkness Again prior to seeing Beyond...all of them are at least "decent" movies. I wouldn't go as far as saying Beyond was one of the better Star Trek movies but I would give it a 3.5 out of 5...good action...good humor, especially between Spock and Bones. Beyond was probably the most action filled Star Trek movie which I thought might be a disaster but it actually worked. The bad guy in this one was kind of lame and the story while not bad was kind of basic. There was a scene at the end that I thought was hilarious but it probably has a lot to do what decade I was born in. Really though this has been kind of a bad year for movies so far, I would put Beyond just behind Civil War...I think that I've seen 7 or 8 movies so far in 2016.
For me the top five Star Trek Movies are:
1. Wrath of Kahn
2. Voyage Home
3. Star Trek 2009
4. First Cotact
5. Probably Into Darkness...Maybe Search for Spock on a some other days or possibly Beyond if I give it another go when it comes out on download.

Hell I grew up with the original series on TV in re-run format before the Next Generation came out. I wouldn't say that I'm a uber huge follower but I generally enjoy the movies and the first two TV series. There is some even funnier stuff that I know of but it probably is over the line even for this forum. :-D
You don't know how explosive (literally) this song is until you see the new movie. ;-) I thought it was funny when Kirk said "Good choice."

I'm pretty sure that's the song that also plays on the radio of the C2 Corvette Kirk steals in the 2009 movie. Even more ironic the title of the song being "Sabotage" given how this thread has gone lately....I forget who says it but I want to say it was Spock "is that classical music?" :-D

It is the same song. The 2009 movie is my personal favorite Star Trek movie. I also liked how in the new movie they showed that Spock died and they showed the picture of the crew out of the original movies. I thought that was pretty cool especially since it's the 50th anniversary of Star Trek.

Or have it moved to off-topic under a new title like Star Trek, Movies, Disney Villans, Star Wars or Ghost towns.
Ok I will stop, I will no longer have myself commenting about this further, I would think by now it is getting too ridicoulous to keep others like Max from commenting, when there should be a real attempt to end the discussion on what I have originally brought up with the 2017 Rand McNally Road Atlas and compare that with the AAA 2017 Road Atlas, I might purchase the AAA 2017 Road Atlas too during the 4th quarter of this year when I can afford it. I don't know if Mapquest makes a good Road Atlas, I have one of theirs too in my collection, but most of them are Rand McNally since 2002.
I probably need a new one too, I have an older 2001 Rand McNally sitting in a storage bucket somewhere. I usually just hang onto older maps when I want to remember where older highways alignments were at. Just found a treasure trove for California on cahighwayguy's site. I was actually pretty cool since it had the older alignments of CA 180, 198, 168 and what became 43 just to name a few off the top of my head.
Bumping so that I can read more about all of this. I want to keep reading it. Such a clear and on-topic thread shouldn't be left to die.
I want to hear more about Gousha. May as well namedrop Hammond as well.
I have a Gousha New England road atlas. When did Gousha fold?

Since this topic has not been locked yet, I will take this opportunity to put in my 2 cents concerning RMcN vs. AAA atlases. I actually prefer the AAA as I have never cared for the "new" RMcN style (about 30 or so years old now). I loved the RMcN maps from the '60's & '70's and at one time had both a 1964 and 1973 RMcN atlas. Some of the larger city insets such as for the greater L.A. and Boston areas even went so far as to show interchange details which I though was really cool as a kid.
I generally like the new AAA because I like the overall appearance better as well as the fact that a few years ago they started making a number of the Canadian metro insets a usable size and even included some smaller metro areas such as Kamloops. They also at that time enlarged the Puerto Rico map to a reasonably usable size.
My biggest beef with the AAA is that their atlases tend to be about a year behind on some highway improvements and, like the RMcN, are not always accurate or consistent in depicting road classifications.
(I also very much wish that both AAA and RMcN would add a classification for undivided 4 lane roads as well as a classification for divided highways with freeway / expressway characteristics. (There is a huge difference between driving a true expressway like divided highway such as S.R. 8 / U.S. 12, U.S. 97 south of Bend or California 152 verses a "divided highway" like Oregon 99w or U.S. 95 on the north side of Coeur d'Alene and through Hayden, the latter of which is just a glorified suburban street like U.S. 321 through Pigeon Forge.)
As to the completely "off topic" matter of Star Trek, my favorite episodes / movies include "The Voyage Home" (4th movie), "Mirror Mirror", "A Piece of the Action", Assignment:Earth", "Tomorrow is Yesterday", "Bread and Circuses", "First Contact" (TNG movie), "The Cage" (the original 1964 pilot episode that was later incorporated into the original series episode "The Menagerie" which I also enjoyed) and I really enjoyed the Star Trek "Enterprise" season 2 episode "Carbon Creek" which I though was absolutely hilarious. I also enjoyed many TNG (especially some of the "holo-deck" stories), "Voyager" and "Enterprise" episodes. I never really cared much for Deep Space 9 though because they never really went anywhere. It was like a truck stop in the desert on the side of the freeway... in space! (Getting even further off topic, I always though Laurel Goodwin who starred in the original pilot episode "The Cage" was super hot!)
