The A.T. Guide	The Thru-Hikers Handbook
Organization	BETTER		The A.T. Guide places relevant material on nearby pages; the THH's front/back format makes for a lot of page number look-ups.
Profile Maps	WAY BETTER		The A.T. Guide's profile maps are roughly twice the size and much more detailed.  All landmarks are aligned with the profile.
Town Maps	WAY BETTER		The A.T. Guide's town maps are larger, proportionally scaled, and there are many more of them (50 instead of 28).
Triple Shelter Mileages	UNMATCHED		The A.T. Guide shows cumulative distance to 3 shelters in each direction.
GPS Coordinates	UNMATCHED		Enter GPS coordinates into your vehicle's GPS (or Google Earth) for help navigating to trailheads.
Southbound Edition	UNMATCHED		Using this edition, southbound hikers can read north to south data normally, oriented front to back, top to bottom.
Unbound Edition	UNMATCHED		Planing to cut out the sections you need?  Save yourself the work & get a cleaner cut by purchasing pages that haven't been bound.
Email Updates	UNMATCHED		Sign up to receive updates.
Cost	CHEAPER		Cost with shipping from each book's website:  A.T. Guide:  $19.90, THH $22.50.  Get a better book and pay $2.60 less!
Name recognition			THH  has been around many years and has changed little. Though some old-timers may truthfully advise that “it worked for them,” there is now an option that will work better for you.
