use it as a basic info book when needed.. nice to have when u are 500 miles away at night in the middle of nowhere and was wondering (in general) what resources u have access to at "somepoint" down the road.. not the only place to look - but a place to start to look at "unitil" u get where u are going.. and if times against u - well u have some info right at your hand.. etc etc..
plus if u don't speak the local lang.. can't find english print material... it can save your asssssssssssssss! not just LP but any paperback info book..
that said - I am buying footprint and rough guide books as backup now.. new to motorcycle travel.. but old caver/long dist packpacker/bicyclist.. LP saved my ass coming out of the wild in the 70's after a 4 months hike!! a lot of info in one place!
