The map titled 「四国遍路ひとり歩き同行二人」(Shikoku Henro Hitori Aruki Dogyo Ninin(meaning: walking with Kobo Daishi)) is recommendable. It has been compiled by (へんろみち保存協力会) Henro Michi Conservation Co-operative Association.
No map is simpler, lighter and more widely used than this one.
The price of this book is set rather high so that the extra profit may be turned to the repair work of roads and also to make the information boards. You can get it at the first fudasho Ryozenji-temple and 21st Tairyuji-temple.
