BTW every time I go to AAA to get maps, I get a couple of extra Baja maps to pass out to friends. |
Yep. I always ask them for this map, that map, and even another map. Take advantage of that membership. I say just spend the $15.95 and get the
Baja Almanac. It shows you all the secret surf spots. =)

Is it more accurate these days?

The Almanac always looked real professional
and it was very imprecise in many areas.
Has it been improved and corrected
or is it still just a pretty face????

That alone is worth ANY amount of money for the map, huh, Woody?

i also have the Baja almanc,, I like both of them
but as a glove box map and things that are not on the almanc, I still like the AAA map
I will take some body up on sending me one, I will pay of course.
I just looke at mine and I was mistaken about being 30 years old , its just looked like it, it was printed in 1997

Was at the AAA office in San Clemente about six months ago and was told they no longer had Baja maps - just Mexico maps. Went in last week and lo and
behold they had the Baja maps we all love and cherish. So check with your local AAA office. Jim

My understanding on "maps" is that AAA no longer actually produces any maps--------but they still have them as the map service is now contracted
out------to who, I am not sure.
I, as a Geographer, have always found the Baja Almanac to be quite accurate, but no map service is perfect, that is for sure.

They have a 2010 edition, with just some updates. The map was originally produced by the Auto Club of Southern California, an AAA sub-chapter.
