Rand McNally Chicago 7-County Street Guide 2005 - Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, Will | Detailed Road Maps & Navigation | Perfect for Travelers, Commuters & Road Trips in Illinois

...the only map of the Chicago area you'll need. You can get rid of all those others lying around your car in various stages of disintegration.Published by venerable Rand McNally & Co of Skokie, IL, this conveniently spiral-bound street guide is clear, accurate, detailed, up-to-date, durable, easy to use, chock full of helpful information, and covers virtually all of the sprawling greater Chicago area. It's invaluable for drivers who sell or deliver, helpful to those who've driven here all their lives, and indispensable for those who, like me, are directionally challenged. It is where I turn (before leaving home) to verify local Mapquest information, which can be inaccurate and which frequently does not offer the most desirable route. In addition, this book is a great buy at the Amazon.com price.I have also used the Dallas (Texas) version, and these guides are even more helpful for unfamiliar territory because they don't leave anything out.
