We just bought a copy of the 2018 "Next Exit." The exit numbers are in descending order, which makes looking up information more difficult than it would be if the exits were listed in numerical order. Does anyone know of a similar guidebook that has the exit numbers in normal (ascending) order?

They are in the order based on your direction. I've used it for 14 years.

On our recent trip from Idaho to Florida (and back), my right seat "GPS" had a problem with the info going "backwards." I told her to just turn the book upside down-----well, after the eye rolling and snorting was done, she realized how the book was laid out. Next Exit is a great book to have.

If they're in numerical order, how does that make it harder to look up? Perhaps there's an online version you could sort in any order you want.

It's gotta be a joke.

I must be missing something here. Granted, I've never seen the book, but what's the problem? So if you're traveling in the opposite direction of how the book is arranged, why can't you just start at the back? Or something. I don't get it.

I bought one years ago, maybe '08, as we are usually destination travelers, I never found a good use for it, used it once, threw it out last year.

You mean they're listed as 100 down to 1?
