BAJA GPS GUIDEBOOK VOLUME 1
For the most part, this guide will lead you through some really awesome trails avoiding ranch gates (where possible) and keeping you off private property and national parks (where you shouldn't be anyway). There is an environmental section with warnings and the usual "give a hoot, don't pollute" speech that we hope to cultivate no matter where you are riding. We list the best places on the border to take your broken bikes and bodies, but don't look to the guide for pansy-butt four-star luxuries unless you're looking for where to get the coldest Negra Modelo!
This guide was formulated to get you off the main dirt roads and onto the fun stuff like faded two track, dry washes & rivers, single track, no tracks, mountains, beaches, deserts, Baja 1000 courses and Baja 500 routes, YOU NAME IT; by providing Baja GPS routes. Some routes are point-to-point and some are loops that will return you to your starting point. You can plan day trips, weekends, weeks, or months with this GPS guide.

- Instruction on Global Positioning System navigation with the guidebook

Other Products at www.bajagpsguide.com:
You can purchase all the guidebook routes and waypoints on CD in Fugawi Moving Maps Software format, which is also sold here at a discount price. This alleviates punching in many waypoints and constructing the routes yourself (accuracy being the most important benefit). We also offer a 5X7 Mapcase, which holds our course description charts perfectly in front of you on the handlebars; This does not get in your way and clips to all types of handlebars for easy reference.
