Mauritania map
 

Hi,
What are the best paper maps available for Mauritania?

I don't remember any speciefic maps for Mauritania alone while doing research some years back, just the basic (non-existent-) tourism ones. Found the Michelin NorthWest-Africa to be fairly decent map for Mauritania while travelling there, contained even sand pistes going into the desert, water wells, desert forts marked etc.

Gizi maps mauritania

I've used the Gizi map as well, but due to it's scale it's only really useful for route planning, rather than navigation. I found this map, coupled with OSM maps downloaded onto my Garmin 276, and waypoints supplied from the Gandini Mauri guide book got us everywhere we wanted to go, and back!

So did I.

Never thought much of ITB or Gizi, but for driving must be OK in RIM as there are only 2 or 3 roads - maybe 4 by now.

Besides free OSM and similar but imo more readable Garmin (20 quid), don't forget the Bab Sahara paper map for off roading. Sold in Atar.
And there are old 200k IGNs for getting granular (below)

priffe is right, Bab Sahara (in Atar) have maps. These are hand drawn with local knowledge. They cover Atar, Choum, Chenguetti, and surrounding areas. Available for sale in Atar, Atar airport, Choum, at Bab Sahara, and some other locations I think. There's a 2019 version has been made, but not sure when it will be available.
