I am in the preliminary stages of planning next years first big bike trip. I had heard of Motorcycle specific maps from a company in the US called Butler; Butler Maps | Motorcycle Maps, Roads, Routes | The Best Road Maps - Butler Maps
I ordered both the Idaho and Utah maps after a little research and they shipped faster than any supplier I have ever used.
The maps are excellent. They are made of a very flexible plastic, not laminated paper. Totally waterproof should the rain come down while using them or your tank bag spring a leak.You can use dry erase or grease pencil without fear on these.
They highlight all the best sections of road, and have close ups and descriptions of each. They are big, as the entire state is shown on one side and the close ups, elevation change graphs, etc are on the other.
They are not really set up for a tank bag but could be folded to fit. They even give GPS co-ordinates for the start and end of the best roads.
The maps cost $14.95 a piece but I think they are well worth the money.
I now have a tool to use alongside the Garmin Basecamp program to plot out the trip to Moab at the end of May.
GPS is great but a proper map is always nice as a backup, after all they can never have a technical problem (like a fried circuit board).
