Touring Tool: The Rand McNally Dist-O-Map

The Rand McNally Dist-O-Map is much more than a map, and it's not just some gimmicky gadget. This handy tool provides 11,000 city-to-city mileages for the United States. Plus, it's easy to use - just turn the dial to your starting point and mileages to dozens of destinations appear in the windows of the map.

Use the Dist-O-Map to reduce unnecessary driving and most importantly, to plan your budget. It's a quick and easy way to add up the total distance covered. Once you get that number, divide by the gas mileage of your tour vehicle, and multiply that by the average cost of gas.

Considering that it only costs $7.95, this is one investment that every touring musician should make!
