Laminated Interstate Maps: Borch vs Rand McNally.
Both great maps, choose which size and level of detail is right for you. In the photos Rand McNally has white state borders.
Borch has grey state borders.
Borch:
Bigger map when fully opened.
More detail, shows 2x or more state routes compared to Rand McNally.
No gaps in the map along the folds.
Has more overlap on each side. For example, Oklahoma is fully shown on the west side of the map and then also shown 80% on the east side of the map.
Rand McNally:
More compact map when fully opened.
Better color scheme, easier to see interstate highways but shows less than half the state highways compared to the Borch map.
Has gaps along the folds.
Less overlap on each side.
The perfect map for me would be the size and detail of the Borch with the color scheme of the Rand McNally.

If GPS satellites or wifi were ever to fail us, this map is incredibly handy to have. Someone mentioned that they did not like how the country is displayed half on one side, and the other half on the other side. That can be slightly inconvenient to have to turn the map over, however, there were no other waterproof maps of the United States that I could locate. Paper maps can easily tear and ruin with use, and this particular map seems to show all the major interstate highway routes across the entire country, including the lower bordering states of Canada. Be aware that another buyer of this map mentioned that some small towns were not included.

We write on the map and draw our driving line. We can wipe it clean and reuse. I like to visually see the path we are planning so this helps me plan out the trip. Folds up nice and reusable. The roads are clear on the map to navigate. Most small towns are not listed, but good size ones are.

I needed a SMALL wall map to mark the locations of Tesla superchargers to plan cross country trips. I have been switching back and forth the Tesla supercharger map and the Google map for this purpose, a total nuisance. This solves my problem well. This map, european origin, is detailed and yet clear, the lamination probably contributed to the visual clarity. Most of the Tesla superchargers unnamed in the Tesla map, is shown in this one. However, It comes folded (for use in the car), so when I mounted it on the wall it isn't smooth as a rolled one would be. Wish they sell a rolled up one.

These laminated maps are great. I have them for all the lower 48 (and some of Canada and Alaska). If you need really detailed maps of a state, buy one of the Atlas and Gazetteers from Delorme (but note that they were NOT available for all states, at least when I last checked). But if you're traveling and need reasonably good maps for the states you'll cross, the Rand McNally laminated maps will serve you well.

Thin laminated map with ca1/2 of lower 48 on each side with a couple hundred miles of overlap and incursions to several hundred miles into Canada which is nice. Also has AK & HI + PR!. Make sure you have a magnifying glass to read it tho as scale is 4 million to one! Shows interstate, US, and state highways. Parks, wildlife refuges, rivers, lakes, and many other points of varying degrees of interest shown. Thousands of cities listed with map coordinates. Seems as tho it will be durable. Unfolded measures ca 27" [N-S] x 38" [E-W]. Needless 'topographic' shading adds to reading difficulty. Is a 10th edition that claims to be updated thru 2014. Can write on and wipe off.

Prepping is my hobby and wanted to add a fully waterproof detailed map of the USA to my bag. This map is easy to read and is detailed down to street names. No magnified glass needed and easy to fold back up. Cant wait to put it to use!

Worked better than needed. Best interstate map we’ve used in a long while. Exceeded expectations!

Klein, aber fein!
Reviewed in Germany on December 18, 2023
Zunächst zur Überschrift dieses Beitrags. Bei einem Maßstab von 1 : 4.000.000 darf man keine Informationen über jedes Kuhkaff erwarten. Für die Grobplanung ist die Karte hervorragend geeignet, da sie aufgeklappt nicht zu groß ist, und durch ihre Festigkeit (die Karte ist laminiert) geht sie auch nicht sofort kaputt. Die Interstates - Motorways - Highways heben sich mit ihrer kräftig blauen Farbe sehr gut vom Hintergrund ab, so dass man niemals etwas suchen muss. Trotz des großen Maßstabs sind sehr viele Ortschaften eingezeichnet, ohne dass es unübersichtlich wird. Die großen Staaten sind mit den meisten Zufahrten (wie bei amerikanischen Karten oft üblich mit Meilen-Angabe) gekennzeichnet, und auch bei untergeordneten Straßen ist meist die Straßennummer zu sehen.
Und jetzt kommt die einzige Einschränkung, die ich machen muss. Um all diese vielen Informationen darzustellen, ist alles sehr klein geschrieben. Wer keine Probleme mit den Augen hat, dürfte das zwar bemerken, es dürfte ihn aber nicht allzusehr stören, da man sich schnell daran gewöhnt, wenn man ein bisschen mit der Karte arbeitet.
Die Hawaii-Inseln, Alaska und Puerto Rico sind ebenfall enthalten.

not what i wanted
Reviewed in Canada on January 30, 2013
i was looking for a 1 page full layout of the USA to see interstates connecting across the country. this is 1/2 of the US on one side and the other half on the flip side. the lamination is a good idea for constant use. it was just the flipping that irritates me.
