Garmin City Select Mexico

City_select_mexico_1 When it rains, it pours. Hot on the heels of Magellan's announcement of MapSend Topo Mexico, comes Garmin's introduction of Mexican street maps with the release of MapSource City Select Mexico. Just like the Magellan product, this one is limited to SD cards (and micro-SD in this case). Here is a coverage map from Garmin's web site.

I'm sure we're just going to see more and more international products from these GPS firms. MapSource TOPO Great Britain was recently released, and rumor has it that there will soon be a version of City Select for Malaysia and Singapore.

Hi, I have been very interested in purchasing an automotive navigation system yet i find myself traveling to mexico most of the time. I strongly believe that the closest places to the US of travel that is are both Mexico and Canada. and these navigation systems companies should enphazise the importance of creating and researching to have a solid documentation of the roads to better sell thier products. It is very important to give the cunsumer solid and well rounded information of the roads they travel. i can agree that the software created for the road of the US are extremely outstanding by garmin and others like Lowrence and Magellan. the the price goes to the first who can create a great program (software) that accurately reaches and explores the roads of both our neighboring countries.

Garmin StreetPilot 2730 Review UPDATE: Most of the several generations old StreetPilot series, including this model, has been discontinued. For a more current recommendation, check out our Auto GPS buyers guide or go straight to our Garmin nuvi comparison chart. The Garmin StreetPilot 2730 is part of the popular 2000 series of auto navigation systems. The 2730 adds a couple of major new features -- an MP3 player and XM satellite radio. With XM radio, you not only get music, but also weather and real-time traffic conditions that overlay maps in major metropolitan areas in the U.S. The StreetPilot 2730 uses this data to automatically calculate and suggest faster alternate routes before traffic starts backing up. Of course this is all in addition to pre-loaded maps of North America, a touch screen and voice-prompted routing. Compare prices on the Garmin StreetPilot 2730 Here's what Amazon.com has to say in their review: "Don't forget that the 2730 is a high-end GPS navigation device with text-to-speech functionality that allows the unit to audibly announce the names of upcoming streets and points of interest. This lets you keep your eyes on the road while you navigate through busy traffic and tricky roadways. The 2730 also features a...

Garmin StreetPilot 7200 Review The Garmin StreetPilot 7200 is a new wide-screen GPS navigation device with a 7" display, designed for larger vehicles such as RV's, semi-trucks and buses. The 7200 includes an audio book reader, an MP3 player and XM satellite radio. With XM radio, you not only get music, but also weather and real-time traffic conditions that overlay maps in major metropolitan areas in the U.S. The StreetPilot 7200 uses this data to automatically calculate and suggest faster alternate routes before traffic starts backing up. Of course this is all in addition to pre-loaded maps of North America, a touch screen interface and voice-prompted routing. So what distinguishes this unit from those above and below it? The primary difference between it and the StreetPilot 2730 is the big screen on the 7200. Step up to the StreetPilot 7500 and you'll get a a dead-reckoning feature that allows drivers to continue receiving navigational cues when GPS signals are obscured – such as in tunnels – through a built-in solid state gyro and a connection to a vehicle’s odometer system. Here's what Amazon.com has to say in their review: "...The 7200 is a high-end GPS navigation device with text-to-speech functionality that allows the unit...
