We took the Rough Guide and Lonely Planet to Guatemala in March 2002, and found the RG generally more comprehensive, useful and accurate. The maps in both guides were pretty good, though a few more in colour would be benefical.
Where the Rough Guide really excelled was the sheer amount of well-researched background information - Guatemala is a fascinating but complicated country and there were very readable sections about the ancient Maya, environment and human rights.

This guide proved to be a very useful companion during our trip to Guatemala in August 2006, and was very strong on hotels (we found some amazing places around lake Atitlan)and eating options.The maps were great and bus and shuttle connections useful and generally accurate. Check out the photo section for a good introduction to Guatemala - a wonderful country, allowing us to pick and choose from the highlights suggested.
Tikal was very well covered, with tons of historical info. In fact that is the real strength of this guide - very complete coverage of Guatemala's Maya sites.
