Is this one from Trakker called "Orlando Area Street Atlas"? That is very good.

Would you tell me if the Orlando Stree Atlas covers US 27 and all the communities there. Say between 192 I4. Thanks in advance.
i,m not sure where you mean but if you were looking at the main map index page being a tall rectangle the top left corner would be MONT DORA top right would be OSCEOLA,
then all the way down to the bottom would be left POINCIANA PLACE the bottom right would be just short of DEER PARK on the 192, so if i read that right it only covers a small portion of US 27. hope this helps But you can probably see now why i wanted to buy the maps in the first place[msnsmile2] .

Not completely. The part of US27 to the SOUTH of its junction to US192 is covered but not the NORTH bit. But this map is NOT designed to be a guide for Villa Communities, the details of which you can get easily from the US192 site that gives airport directions. The Trakker map is meant for navigation within Orlando and vicinity and is tops for US192, WDW, I-4, I-drive, Universal complex, Orlando proper, Celebration, Kissimmee, MCO, Sanford, Winter Park etc.

Just a wishful hope on my part; I have been looking for a v large scale map that covers the 192 with 27 south up to the I4. As you correctly point out the Wild West is not covered within the greater Orlando maps but I think I'll add this one to my collection. Thanks for looking.[msncry]

Finally a decent map, we tried and tried to find one while we were in Orlando and they were all very poor quality. No wonder so many people get lost![:I]
My brother in law does deliveries in the Orlando - Kissimmee areas and needs to know all the streets. Since they moved out there he has used a Rand McNally "Streetfinder" map book which he has found excellent. I bought myself one last time we were there and find it great. It not only has the streets but also the blocks of house numbers. I think it was about $25 and covers from Deltona in the North, to Haines City in the South, West to Winter Garden and Clermont and East as far as Bithlo.

Just do what I do. Go to [website link edited] and you can plan your driving route too. No need for maps if you have access to a computer/laptop. You put in the street or area, and it will tell you exactly which roads and exits to take. It also gives you the fastest or cheapest route (because of tolls).
