You would only use either two or three of the maps at $14.75 each. If $45 is going to make or break a 3 month tour, your budget must be really tight.

FWIW, the maps saved us more than they cost on our first tour. Our maps for the Trans America listed a lot of free and cheap places to stay that we would not have found on our own at that point in our touring careers. We got much better at finding free or cheap places to stay on our own as time went on, but I think the maps were a big help in that learning process. I can't say whether that would be the case for the Atlantic Coast maps though.
