TJ GPS File Help Please -Lowarance Baja 540C

DeMinimis - 3-9-2010 at 09:25 AM

Installed my Lowarance Baja 540 C in my new vehicle. Was checking out our planned route and discovered I'm missing the TJ file. Does anyone have a line on the TJ file for Lowarance or update? Bought the map from PCI Race Radios (I think its a BICI map, if I remember correctly) and haven't heard a peep out of them. Need to move fast, so any help that you could share, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

Why would you need that? Don't you know how to get to the toll road?

DeMinimis - 3-9-2010 at 10:03 AM

Thanks Dennis. Would like to have it nonetheless.

Doesn't everyone?

I've heard they now sell an portable ice machine with built-in GPS. The perfect gift for the intrepid Baja adventurer.

Always remember:

Wherever you go...There you are.

Well, I've been lost in TJ so I can understand what you mean. Trouble is, if you take your eyes off the road while trying to look at your GPS, you're screwed. :no:

Oh yeah....it's the "nasty weather shut-in syndrome."

Have you seen those ice machines? Not only do they tell you you're in the wrong place, there's a built in beer maker on the bottom. They've come a long way. :lol:

Good therapy....your personal mental GPS.

I'll tell you one thing, you poo-pooers of technology, when trapecing through the wilds, that Baja map shows you the routes (even the single track routes). Hell, even the Green Door Trail is on there. Bummer TJ is missing and I didn't discover that a year ago (and Mexicali is off by a couple of streets). Its largely geared for the races, but the city layouts are helpful too.



Not that I don't appreciate D&;D's insight, still looking for some real help here if anyone has the goods.

Trail?

I thought it was a club.

What's behind there?

I'll bet Dennis would know. :rolleyes:

Geez. I thought I was clicking on a link to a Marilyn chambers movie, but what do I get? A 1956 song by Jim Lowe!

DeMinimis - 3-9-2010 at 12:53 PM

Well, since I'm not getting any love from you guys, I went trolling elsewhere. For you off-road types, PCI race radios does have a new map for Lowrance ($12 upgrade). For those that want an ice-maker, well, I can't help you.....no one can.

Deminimis,

Check your U2U........

DeMinimis - 3-11-2010 at 09:31 AM

Got it and back at ya. Thanks!

Mr.D, I have used the Lowrance Baja 540 alot. Don't totally trust any of the down-loaded maps. Make sure to take traditional paper maps along also. Also, make sure the hockey puck type antenna is locate at least three feet from the unit or it will give you seriously wrong info. Good luck and have a fun trip!

DeMinimis - 3-12-2010 at 12:47 PM

Hey Pacifico! We ought to meet for a Pacifico on Sunday evening!! We're going to be camping, somewhere, near you as we have a tank install first thing on Monday in San Bernardino (Aero Tanks). Might be staying at Terrace whatever RV park so can fill the water tanks, plug in, etc., but at $45/night, not positive that's the plan.
