If you look close at the Jeep pictures above there is a great looking white Toyota following behind in case the Jeeps get into trouble.

PHOTOS!
I took about 90 photos at the Expo and at the Hot Rod museum located in the Pomona Fairplex... Mickey Thompson's 4 engine Challenger and The Famous
Hudson Hornet (recent star in the Pixar movie 'Cars') are included... I have about 34 to share, starting with the Baja Nomads who met up for some
laughs: TW, Neal Johns, The squarecircle (Roy & Blanche), John M, Baja Angel...

The final set...
Was another fun day that started with Baja Nomads ...
The show did have less than last year's... but still plenty to see. We go to see the off road prep vehicles, camping equipment, videos for sale,
shirts, off road racers... and we still didn't see everything offered!

David,
Thanks for posting the photos. I couldn't help but notice a lot of Lowrance GPS units. Did anyone ask what mapping programs they use in Baja with
those?

De nada Ken,
The Lowrance BIG SCREEN GPS is pretty much in all the of road racers when I looked at them... I don't know the program, but perhaps through the SCORE
web site or another Nomad it could be found?
Generally it is just the race course directions and hazzards displayed, I believe... Not the details of a topo map like the Baja Expeditioner that can
be downloaded into a Nuvi or eTrex Legend.

Ken you can purchase a detailed topo map for the Lowrance GPS systems from PCI. It includes the entire peninsula, all towns, and much more...
or you can run OziXplorer software from the GPS to a laptop and live track in that method as well. OZI Xplorer utilizes high-resolution map files of
the entire peninsula...
we've been using these two systems in the lowrance for about 4 years...works well
DREAM IT! PLAN IT! LIVE IT!

Is the PCI software only for Lowrance or will it run on Garmin products?
Is that software the reason you and others use the Lowrance units?
Thanks for the info.

The software made by Bicimapas is made for either Garmin or Lowrance (topo maps). Bring money. Great maps, though.

Neal,
Are you saying that Desert Bull was referring to Bicimaps not PCI?
Wanted to investigate what the pros' are using. I have LB for my Garmin and it is OK. Not up to the Garmin Software though IMO.
Thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken,
The photos are coming... but since you are semi hijacking TW's thread to talk about Baja Grande '08... Let me remind you, the The 2008 BAJA 1000 is
running on the day you are taking the gang to San Felipe:
Day 1 (Nov. 22) - Drive to San Felipe, rest.
Day 2 (Nov. 23) - Drive to Gonzaga Bay, rest.
The race begins Nov. 21 and runs for 31 hours from when each racer starts (6+ am to Noon+pm) and runs well into the 22nd. Crowds will be thick in San
Felipe as the race does go through town this year... See TW's Baja 1000 thread for the map of the course or print it off Score-International's site.
Just FYI! |
I'm not worried. Our Jeeps drive so slowly, that by the time we reach our destination and bed down for the night, all of the excitement and people
will have passed. If the place is crowded, we can camp in the hills. We're fully equipped so no worries one bit. Nah.

tripledigitken, no, I was just letting you know where you could get some Mexico/Baja maps for a Lowrance GPS. I know nothing about what software the
racers use.
I like the Lowrance unit, buy me one???

25 miles south of San Felipe at Km. 32 is Campo/ Rancho NUEVO MAZATLAN... Tell Javier you are a Baja amigo and ask for a group rate as you all are
together... Photos: http://vivabaja.com/nm and http://vivabaja.com/204 and http://vivabaja.com/806
