Guide Review - The Thomas Guide: Phoenix Street Guide
I get a new Phoenix street map from Thomas Guides every other year. I don't consider myself a 'power' user, since I'm not a Realtor, or a delivery person, or a cab driver. Still, I spend a lot of time driving around the Phoenix area, and a good map is very valuable to me. The Thomas Guide Phoenix Street Guide is what I buy. I keep the current Phoenix Street Map in the car, and the previous issue in the house!
The Phoenix streets maps in the Thomas Guide provide street detail, including block numbers. If you know the address of your destination (that's always helpful!) all you do is:
- Find the street name in the index
- Find the range where the address fits (be careful to distinguish between east and west streets)
- Find the map number and grid number
- Go to that map and locate that grid
- You're there!
The Phoenix Street Guide also includes
- Phoenix School District Boundary Map
- Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Map
- Downtown Phoenix Map with significant buildings and places of interest noted
- Highway map
- An interactive CD for your computer that also includes Tucson
