I feel the same way. I wish Trailer Life was still putting out the
Rand McNally CD....

I'm using a 2003 one.

I do have those, but it's just so nice to use the TL Rand McNally
CD....
You're right that it doesn't show COE, and all the others though....

I guess I'll use Street Atlas again.

I use Streets and Trips 2004. The Discovery website shows different

When I use the Rand McNally one I put in say... Start in Ocala.... end
in Lake City.

Then it routes and shows me any campgrounds between...

Does yours show COE park cgs, state park cgs etc...

Thanks Ron, you answered all my questions. I did read that people like
09 more than 08 because of some changes.

I'm on the same pace. Five years and 1017 nights not incl. weekenders
and short trips "to get away from home"! About 50,000 miles.

How does the 2009 ver compare to the 2008. '08 was sadly lacking.
