Carolina Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Does anyone know where I can buy a Guia Roji or other very good road map to Manzanillo this week? The Guia Rojis on Amazon are either way outdated or unavailable. Thanx in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanMexicali Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 https://www.gandhi.com.mx/catalogsearch/result/?q=Guia roji mexico They have what is now available. It is not a very updated road atlas as before. There are a few Gandhi Bookstores in Guadalajara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Do you not have a smartphone or otherwise just don't want to use it? Google maps will even guide you there turn by turn. I do have an older Guia that I can copy pertinent pages from if that works for you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Guia Roji went bust, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jreboll Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 There also map apps where you can download maps for each state and also city maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecoons Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Looks like they survived the bankruptcy filing: https://newsbeezer.com/mexicoeng/guia-roji-loses-the-way-and-declares-bankruptcy/ https://vaaju.com/mexicoeng/goodbye-to-the-legendary-roji-guide-the-company-is-bankrupt/ Good news. Maps on a tiny screen are a poor substitute when you want to see an overview. I found the site a little confusing, are they still selling a print version or only electronic? This looks like the book version? https://www.guiaroji.com.mx/MLM-737212212-por-las-carreteras-de-mexico-2020-guia-roji-_JM?quantity=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 If you manage to get a paper map, mark the pages you want and take them to a stationery store, have them print 11x17 copies. Then you have a big page where you can write or color marker visual landmarks, interesting places you would like to explore, etc. Another professional driving trick, mark all important exits, etc, on a post it note and stick it on the center of your steering wheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolina Posted December 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Thank you for your replies. I'll call the number given on the website to see if I can get my hands on one. As Mainecoons said, "Maps on a tiny screen are a poor substitute..." I do have a 2012 edition I can use, just not sure of any changes. I'll have a human navigator in the passenger seat with a cellphone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Many changes since 2010, mainly more toll roads and some new bypasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of new roads, every time we drive to Manzanillo around Colima we see what looks to be a new highway of to the right with many very tall bridges. I never see any cars on it though. I'm hoping it will be a new link to Manzaillo and will eliminate the bottleneck through the mountains with trucks going 10mph and no way to pass them.

Yes it is a new highway but still under construction. Construction was (or still is?) however paused for some time. The old one will become double lane one way to Guadalajara and the new one will be double lane to Manzanillo. However no date of when it will be opened.

LCS Notices Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Superlake had Guiaroji maps from various states and cities last week. I bought the 2019 Guadalajara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the 2019 Guadalajara. Absolutely, all kinds of Roji maps, many states. cities, and country wide. They are on the rack just past the caja on the west side where the newspapers generally are. They have Manzanillo and Colima maps among about 20 other destinations. They just got in a new supply and as the last poster said, the new GDL map books. If they are bankrupt they are doing a poor job of acting like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they did file bankruptcy but did manage to work their way out of it. I'll assume there is some sort of reorganization process here like NOB. I'm really glad because we will go get the new map book for 2020. Us old folks like our map books, we use Rand McNally in our RV NOB.

RickS Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 I really liked the Guia maps and used them extensively before I found that for me google maps did the trick and was continually being updated. One thing that I never got used to with the Guia is that one would be progressing on the map from say page 8, to 9 and then the continuation was on page..... 37!
