However, featured above is the current edition being sold but DanaMite actually prefers the look of the less-digitized version – the popular 2nd edition (printed in 2000), shown below. Easier to read maps, less text, less information overall, less busy looking.

OLD fold-out MAP

This smaller Baja fold out map was a once-off map publication that was printed in the mid-2000s, but it is impossible to find now. Originally selling for a mere $5.95, they were quickly outta stock and never to be seen again.

Furthermore, if you are seeking to travel Baja California in depth, may we suggest a GPS unit; and downloading the more relevant, digital maps over at Baja GPS Guide. They have newer digital maps for this region. Claiming to be the most detailed map of Baja, Copper Canyon, and mainland Mexico. NOTE: must own a compatible GPS for this map. BAJA & MEXICO E32 TOPO MAP
