The new Benchmark Atlas
Does anyone reading this have one? I responded to a Baja Bound ad, which lead me to believe they had them, but the one I received today is the same
2021 1st edition that I already have!
While I am waiting for them to reply to an e-mail I sent, I was wondering just what differences anyone might have found between the first and second
editions.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

I wish you had asked me... Baja Bound has a supply of the second printing of the first (2021) edition, for only $20...
The second edition (late 2023) is available from Benchmark, the link is on my Maps page, in the for sale section: https://vivabaja.com/maps/
Here is the direct link: https://www.benchmarkmaps.com/product/baja-california-road-r...
The digital map is great, is the new edition, and shows your moving location on the map! No cell service required... Download the free Avenza App then
order the $19.99 Benchmark map: https://www.benchmarkmaps.com/product/baja-california-road-r...
There isn't a lot of big differences between the two... I made a list of those I knew of: https://vivabaja.com/edits-to-2023-benchmark-atlas/
Edits to 2023/2024 Benchmark Atlas
After a quick glance and a look at my email exchanges, here is what I could see that is new for 2023 over 2021. Note: there may be others and feel
free to let me know what you discover.
San Felipe Municipality added on multiple pages.
Page 29: Puerto Nuevo [lobster village] (added)
Page 35: More roads around the Sierra Las Pintas added.
Page 36: Cuatro Casas Hostel added.
Page 37: Chenowth Legacy Lodge added. Campos Sahuaro, La Joya, and Delicias added. Natural Arch, Cardón Forest, Ram’s Head choke point, and more
dirt roads added. Canyons Oso, Toledo, Tulare, and La Providencia added.
Page 39: Campo Los Delfines location corrected. The arroyo road for Mission Santa María added.
Page 39 & 41: Original Coco’s Corner added.
Page 41: Road north at Agua Amarga route edited.
Page 47: Kilometer marker points moved by one at southern portion of road to Punta San Francisquito from Bahía de los Angeles.
Page 55: Beach road from San Nicolas toward Punta Pulpito added.
Page 55 & 56: Road south of San Juan to Comondú Viejo edited to show that it doesn’t connect the two.
Page 58: Edit on dirt road north of Ciudad Insurgentes to show it does not connect with another road.
That’s all I have for now.

Thanks David!
I will try to print out the information you just gave me and keep it with the new "old edition" I just bought.

They are 'gold' map books, like the Baja Almanac was... so you can't have too many, in my opinion!
