MEXICO: NEW ATLAS REVEALS THE ROADS LESS TRAVELED

SANTA BARBARA CA - Map importer and distributor, Mexico Maps, announces
the latest travel atlas for Mexico: the Guia Mexico Desconocido Atlas de
Carreteras Republica Mexicana 2003, published by well known Mexican
publisher Editorial Mexico Desconocido.

Located in Mexico City, this company has been publishing a high quality
travel magazine in Mexico for 26 years, Mexico Desconocido (Unknown
Mexico). Their focus has always been to inform and to educate their
readers about interesting destinations in Mexico and this atlas
highlights these areas and provides an excellent general reference for
Mexico utilizing the latest digital data.

One nice feature I found in comparing this atlas is that the scale
(1:1,350,000) is a very good one for viewing Mexico. More geographic
area is on each page making a lower page count overall. A first for
atlases of Mexico, it includes municipal boundaries as well as a wealth
of other information for the traveler.

Besides the mapping, the new atlas shows us where we might want to
explore. Three insets maps show (1) archeological sites open to the
public, (2) national parks and natural areas and (3) important missions
and convents. In all, 709 places of interest in Mexico ranging from
secluded natural areas to frequently visited sites such as Chichen Itza.
There is an index of town names with around 4,796 entries, a distance
table for determining travel times between major cities and four pages
of urban mapping. A 2-page spread Mexico City map shows the main
arteries and the general location of the delegaciones as well as around
40 important places ranging from the Estadio Azteca to the airport and
the Basilica de Guadalupe to the Perisur shopping mall. Single page maps
of Guadalajara and Monterrey show major arteries and major sites (e.g.
Plaza de Toros in Guadalajara and Museo de Vidrio in Monterrey).

The 84 page atlas sells for $18.95 and is available at Mexico Maps’ web
site, http://www.mexicomaps.com. For further information please contact
Mark Walker at 805-687-0771.
