Very detailed maps that are color indexed by region. The print is easy to read and the roads are shown to be toll roads or otherwise. Sturdy cover and pages all spiral-bound.

My wife and I have been visiting Mexico for the past 28 years and have driven virtually over the entire country. This is our 5th edition of this great map book, buying a new one every two years.
It all depends on what you're looking for, but the pages all blend together allowing for greater detail, images and road descriptions. The new highways and toll roads are updated regularly and the many city maps are always a great help. And then, of course, a map of the entire country is included, showing distances in both kilometers and miles. The various road signs -- both national and international -- have helped us numerous times as we've traveled.
A person can unfold the larger maps of one page and then try to re-fold them if one wishes and losing your place in the meantime, but this is the best of the best for us, by far.

We have been searching for a good road map to the interior of Mexico with lots of detail but couldn't find one in any of the stores. I like this one as it is clear and gives current information. My husband likes the fold out maps but I think they're a mess and prefer this type where you can stay on one section and then flip to the next. It's easy to figure out the next phase of your trip as the next page/section is indicated on the top, bottom or sides of each page. Can't wait to use it!

This was an essential tool in our six weeks of exploring Mexico. It was somewhat difficult to follow signs, as my Spanish is not very good. This atlas got us back on track a number of times. Used in conjuction with a large coated map to plan then navigate through each day's travel.

In conjunction with toll road information provided by the BELLS, we were able to easily plan our day to day travels on our first RV trip to Mexico.

Took a road trip from Texas to Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo/Troncones (beautiful, a must if you want to get away from the crowded beaches such as Acapulco or Cancun)...map is good at identifying major roads and toll roads between cities but once you get into a city, the map does not have enough detail PLUS Mexican cities do not do a good job at posting road signs whatsoever!!! Be prepared to stop and ask for directions and when you get them, you get all kinds of landmarks as point of references... don't expect people to know the names of streets either!! Map is kinda pricey for what you get, it could use more detail of major cities, but the binding and sturdy cover are nice. Bottom line...DRIVE IN MEXICO AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

I received this today and, frankly, am disappointed in its quality. I understand that maps of Mexico are hard to find, but this one is still not worth the money. It does have some city maps, but they are so general that you really cannot use them to navigate. There are some nice features, but overall, not worth the cost.

I'd be happy to write a review (since I already have the 1997 edition, which is good). Although I ordered 2008 Mexico Road Atlas "Por las Carreteras de Mexico" by Guia Roji on 12Dec07 and it's now 14Jan08, it still hasn't arrived. To submit a review I have to give the book at least one star - and I'd rather give it zero (since I haven't seen it)
