Yes the Loeb Classical Library has a bilingual edition in several volumes (9 if I remember correctly), but the only English translations in one volume are selections.

If there is a particular region you are concerned with, try the volume containing the relevant "books" of Strabo.

Unless you can spend the $$$ to buy the entire set or borrow it from a University library, you'll need to use alternatives such as the Strabo texts at Perseus (Tufts University) or online at google books or archive org. Even the English versions are in multiple volumes and will cost you a lot of money.
