GPS data from experiments conducted in 1985 and 1989 in the southern Gulf of California, Mexico, allow a determination of relative motion between the Pacific and North American plates. The data indicate motion by Cabo San Lucas on the Pacific plate relative to North America at a rate of 47 + or - 7 mm/yr and azimuth of 57 + or - 6 deg west of north, equivalent within uncertainties to the NUVEL-1 global plate motion model.
