Laminated or not

I can only find the two you're talking about:

http://store.randmcnally.com/road-a...-of-a-regular-motor-carrier-s-road-atlas.html

Says the pages are "Durable synthetic pages that are anti-glare as well as tear- and water-resistant"

http://store.randmcnally.com/road-atlas/2010-rand-mcnally-deluxe-motor-carriers-road-atlas.html

Pages are "Durable, laminated pages stand up to stains and liquids and won't show signs of normal wear-and-tear" but it doesn't say anything about large scale.

 

It is not laminated in the traditional sense. The pages feel almost like a really thin, flexible plastic, or maybe like wax covered paper. I much prefer the material the large scale is made of over the regular one.

I just bought another one, I somehow lost my last one, don't ask, I have no clue how I could have possibly lost the stupid thing considering its size and weight.

I have dropped my maps in more puddles than I can count, spilled drinks on it, dog puked on it, and all I ever had to do was wipe it clean.

The large scale Rand McNally holds up great. I paid 40 bucks for one last week (at the Petro in Oak Grove, MO). Most I ever paid, I normally give about 20 after the new ones come out, but I had to have one.

 

Ditto on the large print edition. I've had 'em all, and it has held up far better than even the laminated type. Mine rides in one of those over-the-seat-back contraptions, and I yank it out and shove it back pretty regularly. It's an '09, and not one page as ripped out or even broken through a hole. Very durable, and easier to read for someone who is nearing 50 and needs reading glasses.

No, no..not me....a, er...friend of mine...yeah, that's it.....

 

My Getty Oil Company map is NOT laminated,

I believe that the laminate would make it too hard to fold !!!

Hope this helps.

Out.

 

My motorcarriers atlas is laminated and spiral bound, I replace it every 4 yrs and even then it's still in good condition
