Absolutely. My nine-year-old-son and I have been riding across New York, using the PTNY maps, because it's pretty much guaranteed that they'll choose routes with the widest shoulders and lowest traffic, which is kind of important when you have a young kid in tow. Beats the heck out of trying to use Google Street View to find decent roads. ;-)
