It is useful as a plain paper map. As long as you don't let yourself be lead by GPS at all times, it is not really important if the road is placed exactly correct. Als long as you have junctions and road numbers, you'll get to your destination. It is when you start using a GPS to lead you and it tells you to turn left because it thinks the road is some 3 miles to your left when this map is not useful.
