Mexico road atlas?

[agentsteel53]

anyone know where to get a quality Mexico road atlas?  I'd like similar quality to the ubiquitous Rand McNally for the US - not the US RMN Mexico page, but separate pages for each individual Mexican state, and zoomed-in segments for the cities.

also, an even more detailed atlas (compared to, say, a Benchmark US state Roads and Recreation atlas) of Baja California Norte and Sur, Sonora, and Chihuahua.  These, likely, would be on a per-state basis. 

anyone know who makes these?  I know the data exists, as Google Maps has decent Mexico coverage; I'd just like it in portable form for the road.

Guía Roji, bar none.  It has a few mistakes in it, but is overall very comprehensive and accurate.

Specifically, the Guía Roji atlas entitled 'Por las Carreteras de México' is what I use.  They also offer pamphlet-style state maps and city maps, if memory serves.  Check around on Amazon.

I went to Mexico last September and bought a Guia Roji atlas at a gas station for like $20. The cartography sucks, but its always the only one I can ever find. There are some fold maps for Mexican states that are really good made by a place called Ediciones Independencia, if they made an atlas (I dont know) it would be better than Guia Roji.

oh, you posted this like two years ago, haha

The best Mexican road atlas is Google satellite imagery.

Do they make the US look like a barren wasteland?

thanks!

still have not yet bought an atlas.  looks like the Guia Roji is the way to go if I don't want to track down each individual state.

No different the the us making Canada like a bunch of barbarians.  For years we have to deail with inaccuarite coverage and mispelled or misplaced city and provincial names.  For a great resource on Mexico and Canada, as well as the US, might I suggest Map Art Maps.  http://www.directroute.ca as they do a great job in covering North America with colourful, easy to read maps.

The MapArt atlas I have is no better at covering México than is Rand McNally anyway...  One page for the entire nation.
