Maps and Navigation content
City maps, road maps, motorsport maps. Recommended by Ride Far on the HUBB: "In Mexico and Central and South America it can be unbelievably difficult and aggravating. My suggestion is to buy Berndtson & Berndtson maps over the Web before you go for each Central and South American country. $10-$12 USD each and scale of 1 : 1000000 & 750000 depending on country. Look elsewhere to reduce weight ... good maps pay for themselves time and again IMHO. The best thing about B&B maps is they are plastic laminated and take a beating that would leave a paper map in shreds. I used them thru C. & S.A. and give them two thumbs up. Virtually all roads are accounted for. Enjoy!"
Whereis.com and MapData Sciences: Excellent map and routing info for Australia "...the best part is the step by step instructions given at the foot of the page, great for bikes as you don't need a bulky directory just a one page print off."
