Map of Wisconsin CitiesI recently did a tour of the state, and from my own experience know I needed a map of Wisconsin cities on my trip. I have this really slick T-Mobile cell phone and an awesome Palm T/X, which is a very handy little PDA. It plays music, movies, handles Word, Excel and Powerpoint docs as well as other mobile software, is an organizer, and even accesses the internet! For real. You can be out in the middle of nowhere, pretty much, and still check your email and surf the web. It's really cool. Prior to my trip, I didn't think I needed a Wisconsin Road Map or a map of Wisconsin cities because I would just use Google Maps via my cell and T/X. What I discovered was this didn't always suffice in different situations. Example – at one point I was visiting my sister's cabin in the Northwoods and although it was the only place I could not get reception, I was there for several days and couldn't get cell coverage or internet, except in the middle of the driveway. That was not pleasant when it's 5 degrees outside and you're a city slicker like me. I did manage to make a new friend (Steven, at Lifespring), who has a nice little gourmet coffee shop/organic food store. He has some of the fastest WiFi I've seen anywhere, let alone in the Northwoods. Say hi to Steven for me if you choose to visit. But I digress. It was difficult to do the work I needed to do without the maps of Wisconsin cities, because I was trying to plan my next stops and didn't have the detailed maps I needed in order to do so. Without internet, I was at a great inconvenience. And sometimes even when I got to the cities, it was not practical to wait for my Palm to boot up and get internet access, so having a cities map would have been a great help. Needless to say, I struggled along. But I know that I've had that experience, I can tell you that having a "hard" copy of a map Wisconsin when you're traveling can be crucial to your trip. As a convenience, I've located some sources of maps for you here, so you don't have to hunt around for them. I also found once you're on the road, you don't know what you're going to get, so best to get prepared with your map of Wisconsin cities before you set out. First, check out Maps.com. They're the world's largest map store.
Then there's good old Rand McNally who features Wisconsin maps and navigational accessories for all your travel needs. They have other Wisconsin maps, but below is example of another way to go. This map covers a several cities in a geographical area. It's a fold out map, which fits conveniently into a visor or glove box. Check out their store for other varieties. Besides an atlas or fold-out map of Wisconsin cities, I suggest if you're going to drive around Wisconsin that you invest in a GPS (Global Positioning System). I know you love to hear stories from my trip to Wisconsin ;-). This is true and an excellent reason to get a GPS.
The officer was helpful and understanding. He got me back on track with directions. Turns out I was going the wrong way after all. But had I had a GPS, I would not have been wondering if I was going the right way and my eyes and full attention would have been on the road. The officers in Wisconsin do a great job in protecting their communities and we all need to watch the speed limit. I noticed that they highway goes right through some of the small towns and if people don't obey the speed limit, it can be very dangerous for citizens. So please, do as I say and not as I did. Keep your eyes and attention on the road. That reminds me. If you need a GPS, why not use Ebay to get a great deal? Here's what's up for bid now: View Larger Map Map of Wisconsin Cities Top of Page
