In an era before sat navs, an essential part of any family journey at home or abroad was the trusted AA Road Atlas.
Even now, as we rely more and more on electronic route guidance, having the back-up of a proper atlas can reduce the risk of getting lost and allows for better diversion planning in the event of a hold-up.
Photographers even spotted that Her Majesty The Queen has an AA Atlas in the back of her car when on official duties.
