    * In 2004 the Editorial Alpina (which publishes most of the Spanish hiking maps) will start the work on the Majorcan hiking maps 1: 25.000. We will inform you here when the edition is ready and we will try to list here the most important corrections (if they are any...)

* The Kompass map (1: 75.000) has improved a lot since the first edition but it has still some mistakes and should be used only together with a guidebook.It is also useful as a biking map. Here are our corrections from the 2003 edition.

►Some important trails are missing, such as: from Cala Fornells to the watchtower in Cap Andritxol (near Peguera) / from Port d´Andratx to Sant Elm / from Calvià to Son Font and to the mountain "Na Bauçà" (near Galilea) / the ascent from Font des Pí to the pass Coll des Carniceret (mountain "Galatzó") / from Estellencs to Puigpunyent / from Banyalbufar to Estellencs / from Banyalbufar to Esporles / from Mirant de Mar to Port des Canonge .

        ►In our opinion, several difficult and lost trails are marked on the map as "hiking trails": the lost trail from S´Estaca to Sa Foradada (near Port de Valldemossa) / from the top of "Puig des Teix" to sa Galera and to the "Coma de sa Palla" / from the Cúber dam to the top of "Sa Rateta" / the southern route to the top of Massanella (from the Coll de  Ses Bassetes) / the lost trail to the watchtower "Torre de Lluc" (near the monastery of Lluc).

        ►Several trails which appear on the map don´t exist: one trail from the west of  Muleta to Cap Gros (near Port de Sóller) / the trail from the west to "Puig S´Aucadena" (near Alaró) / from Deià to Ca´l Abat / from "Puig des Teix" to "Puig Rei Jaume".

   * The "hiking" map Freytag & Berndt (1:50.000) only covers the central part of the Serra de Tramuntana. The map has several mistakes and should be used only together with a guidebook.
