Best maps for Zumo 550 in Baja?

Ken Fritz · 02-25-2013, 05:48 PM

I can do it with paper maps and will have them along, but what is the best mapset for a Zumo 550? Not much off road will be done this trip, but it may be too tempting so I need the best I can find. Thanks for the advice.

Yeah, I know the 550 isn't the best for off road, but it's what I have right now and it works great in Europe where there's not much off road riding anyway.

I own this Baja map:

http://www.lbmaps.com/

The price is low and it shows all the commonly traveled routes while not being overly cluttered however.....
The LB Map doesn't auto route (not a big loss IMO).
Doesn't have street level detail of the urban areas (some are better then others)
Hasn't been updated in some time.

It will work fine for 50% of the folks. If you need more then look at:

and go to the end for latest info.

Also be sure you have a paper backup.
