    Delorme Gazetteer

    Since there seems to be quite a few riders here from the USA Do any of you use the Delorme maps and are they well detailed for backroads use? Planning to spend a bit of time in Vermont and New Hampshire early this summer.

Works great and adds lots of versatility on the top...
