I am building a POI file for Mexican campsites. It is complete (over 450 entries), but I need to get the OK from Mike & Terri Church to make it
available since their book was a major source. I hope to have that by late Sept at latest. I am interested in any camping spots that you may know
about that are not in their book. Good boondocking sites included.
There is a submission form at http://www.mexicorvforums.com/forms/myform.html
The POI file when (& if) I get the OK will be available at http://www.mexicorvforums.com/GPS.html. It will be regularly updated with new spots.
It has been build mainly for the Garmin Nuvi, but lighter versions will be available for Tom Tom & Magellan & Streets & Trips.

I do have some that can be part of the garmin file. I will make them available as a zip file that can be loaded in separate depending on whether you
have the storage space or not. The links are built into the POI file so as long as they get put into the correct directory in the garmin they should
work. I can convert to Tom Tom & Magellan formats, but since I do nto have either of those myself I am unable to test them. Once I have the file
ready i will ask some people with those to take a look.
Newer NUVI's have plenty of storage, some of the older ones do not, the pics i have tried to keep under 20K.
