A road map is a map of a certain area zoomed in for direction purposes. An atlas is a book of maps that are zoomed out for locationional purposes. Ex: You would use a road map to find 1234 Smith Street, you would use an atlas to find where Barcelona is.

A road map typically shows detailed highways, roads, and streets for navigation purposes within a specific region or area. On the other hand, an atlas is a collection of maps covering different regions, countries, or the entire world, often including thematic maps, such as political or physical maps, in addition to road maps. An atlas provides a broader geographical context compared to a road map.
