Whats the best Truckers Road Atlas for UK ? The last years i bought every year the Truckers Road Atlas from Philips…i ever thought it´s the best one.
But now i can´t find a new one for 2015…everywhere in the Internet i only found the old one for 2014 with the blue truck on the cover…there´s no new one for this year? Or where can i get it in the Internet?
I´ve seen a lot of other Truck Maps for 2015 from AA or Collins…
What´s the best Atlas for Truck Drivers for UK? Are the maps from AA and Collins ok too or is the Philips Atlas better?
One with LOW BRIDGE HEIGHTS ON IT!
pay a few quid more and get a hardback too, the paperback ones that i used in the past have fell to bits in weeks of use
I have the Philips one at the moment, well two years loose leaf thing Coil spine and it’s well used and still alive working iin conjunction with my (excuse swearing) sat nav
I’m in the market for one too. Anyone have any advice on where to pick one up?
Amazons offering don’t seem to be current, and the rha can’t send it to a different address to my billing address.

You will be very lucky to find a hard back one.
I have a hardback one from a few years ago,trouble I find with it is,it’s too bulky to hold going down the road compared to the paperback.
maps are like spanners
you can get by with a few
but you need ones suitable
for your needs
Philips only appear to publish a new version every 18 months or so. The 2014 version was published in May of that year, so I would not expect a new one until around October this year (and it will probably be called the 2016 edition).
Almost any MSA shop will stock them. I got mine in Stafford.
I don’t go to MSAs or Truckstops, you real truckers are scary!

cheers Roymondo. Purchased the may 2014
You just watch the buggers publish a new edition next week, just to prove me wrong
I’ll sell it ya cheap if they do
Got my Phillips off Fleabay, £8 cheaper than anywhere else I could find. Only found 2014 version but good enough for me, not that many new bridges get built I suppose so will do for now

2014 is the current version anyway. But the (potential) issue is not so much the new bridges, it’s the existing ones that get re-classified when they resurface the roads, taking a few inches off the headroom…
Waterstones book shop sell the 2015 Phillips truck map, it has a blue truck picture on the front of it

Ahh, you’re probably right! I have just looked at mine & it’s green truck on it, i thought it was last years 2014 only I’m reading the cover, ’ new edition’ , it doesn’t actually have a date on it!!
would there be a difference between the Phillips ‘new edition’ & this year’s Phillips road map then ?

Your probably right, but you’d think they would resurface to same height to avoid all the extra cost of resigning approach roads and reclassification notices. Surely cheaper to scrape road down a few more inches when ripping up old one
Plus by time the map producers get the information, verify it, it might be ready for print in the following years edition or even 2 yrs!
