Frequently Asked Questions - Maps
When will the new state maps be available?
Normally, state maps are available by the spring of each year.
Why is the writing on the state maps so small?
To address this issue, we now have "Large Print" edition for the 2006-2007 State Highway Map. We are also working diligently to address other issues, such as correcting labeling errors, identification markers, and line work for the various types of roads, on the future Georgia State Highway Map. We appreciate your comments and look forward to providing you an improved product in the coming year.
