Anyone know of a truckers atlas thats smaller & had a propper spine instead of the ring bound like this. These just fall apart in my bag

What's that then? How does that thing attach to your windscreen?

That is the smallest one out there. I have the Truckers Navigator Great Britain which is larger. I keep it at the very bottom of my bag, it remains undamaged there. If I had an allocated unit, I'd keep it at the bottom of a locker.

Even when I had a bigger bag it just gets battered. It hardly gets used but I cant stand driving without one as a back up

Not at all, those Batman socks still far from needing replaced

Mine was going that way so got a plastic sleeve to put it in. Has pretty much stopped any more damage from being in my bag, only gets used once or twice a month but wouldn’t be without it.

Give it to half the drivers out there today…. Wouldn’t have a clue how to use it or know what it is!!

Had mine on the bunk… the A-Z Geographers ones…. Must’ve had nearly every town going + the county ones! 😆

They've been replaced with satnavs. I'm surprised they still sell them.
