I assume you need it waterproof because you will be on a bicycle or motorcycle. It appears to be OK from a highway and general road standpoint from what little they actually show of the map, it is similar to the AAA map.

Baja California map


At a glance, it doesn't have the Corredor 2000 on it...


Baja Map


The AAA map, while getting more and more out-of-date is still a better road map, and has mileages along all roads shown.

The Nat Geo Baja maps are good, and big... but not a lot of help with driving details.

The best is the Baja Almanac, but a bit big to carry around.

Dk: go to some of the better TJ bookstores. They carry more recent Mexico and baja road maps, probably more up to date than the older USA made road maps you refer to. You can probably find online too.

Goat, it is not my post asking about it... I am fine with the maps I have. I also have not seen one yet produced in Mexico that wasn't totally inaccurate.

I would like to know where Landon gets the base map for the Almanac. It has the fewest road errors, outside of the AAA map, but makes up for that with the detail and topography!
