ABSTRACT:
A portable holder for a street atlas is provided. The holder includes a hollow transparent body dimensioned to hold a street atlas and enable viewing of a page of the street atlas. A cover is pivotally coupled to the body. The cover includes a magnifying lens dimensioned to enhance viewing of an additional page of the street atlas. A retaining portion is attached to a bottom surface of the cover to retain the page. A locating mechanism for locating a specific area on the page of the street atlas is made integral with the cover and interposed between the retaining portion and the magnifying lens. The locating mechanism includes horizontal and vertical adjustment mechanisms that extend through a top surface of the cover and are disposed adjacent opposite sides of the cover. A target is coupled to the adjustment mechanisms for moving the target to a specific area on the page when the bands are adjusted horizontally and vertically. The target is locatable over substantially all of the second page of the street atlas.
