GPS maps for Baja


Does anyone know if you can get Baja maps for a Garmin GPS. I have a 60csx.

Another one for the LB maps. Pavement portions are named, most dirt roads & trails are not. It's always good to us this in confunction with a paper map like the AAA Baja Map.:yes:

Yep, I use LB too. I find it a little off in Mexicali, right near the border, but the rest of Baja it works great. It really helps when you get off the beaten track and the coverage on dirt roads is great.

Like others have said, use it in conjunction with another map or two.

BTW - Mine is a Garmin 60c (I wish the Csx was out when I bought it.. )

I actually was able to download a copy of LB maps on my computer, open it up on Map Source and look at some roads that I was un aware of. However, to transfer to your GPS unit, you will need to pay the full price ($95) for an access code...

I do not remember where I downloaded it though.... I cannot find the link.

Do the LB maps have the same functionality as the City Maps (Garmin)? Does it give you turn-by-turn navigation to a waypoint and tha sorta stuff?

No routing or turn-by-turn. It's a map you can see your vehicle on.
