If I remember correctly, Road Scholar allows a binder (of any size); the earth science rules tend to be rather vague on this subject (as compared to, say, Invasives and otehr Bio events, which make it pretty clear).

I was taking Earth Science when I had my tryouts for Road Scholar. It was the start of the year, and we had just finished topography maps in class .(convenient, huh?)
Realizing how underprepared I was (I only had with me a pencil, road map, and the USGS symbols), I brought my entire class Earth Science binder to the competition, and slipped the USGS booklet inside
That was fun

How would you answer a question like, "How many airports (or anything, really) are on this map?"
(state highway)

For airports specifically, you can look at the map Index, and usually it will list all airports that appear on the map, and their codes, however these airports listed are just a fraction of the amount of actually airports on the map.

I used the Official 2015-2016 Maryland Highway Map.

I'm a little late at asking this question (our regional is 2 days away), but I noticed were allowed to bring a full binder this year to competition instead of a front and back cheat sheet?

I'm wondering if there is usually a specific location on a highway map that you can find that shows when the map was made. Also, does anyone know how to calculate the distance between 2 places on the highway map using the roads with the mileage number next to it?
