Here is a snip from my area. On Rever Yellow is a G1 Best Road, Red is a G2 Better Road and Orange is a G3 Good road.

I've ridden all of them east of I81 on this snip. Most of them I had ridden before I got my Rever subscription with the Butler Maps. Like I said, it was pretty easy to go on Google Maps and look for nice curvy lines, and then go ride them. Or they are roads that other local riders showed me. There are also quite a few that Butler doesn't have highlighted that are just as nice of a ride, if not better, as they ones they do have highlighted.

I look at maps as just another tool in my arsenal. I own a number of the Butler maps and find them very useful. They are really helpful if you are riding in an area you are not familiar with. As mentioned earlier, you can pickup free maps at welcome centers, some restaurants, bars, etc., but I never find these maps as useful as the Butler maps. You can even pickup free maps at some motorcycle shops. You might have seen them, those Freeman Maps. They also aren't as good as the Butler maps.
