There are extra-detailed town plans for easy navigation with all counties marked for clarity. The atlas also includes a 2-page road map of Ireland, route-planning maps, a distance table, and 12 large-scale city approach maps with named arterial roads and the expanded ULEZ clearly outlined for London.
