I have the software from Larry. Be aware (as he states) it does not do any autorouting. Once off the Highway and on to the "baja" roads it can be
very inaccurate.. but you can always send him updates.

post a review after you use it. I have considered that purchase, hoping the dirt road portion is more accurate.

Nuvi 750
| Quote: | Originally posted by Hook
I dont believe it would import routes either; even using Mapsource. You had to create a route internally. Not completely sure about that last part.
The Nuvi series has some real limitations, IMO. Really xlnt screen and pretty easy to use but it really seems geared towards city use.

We have been using the Nuvi 750 for over a year and think it is a great unit. It has built in battery so it can be used for walking, biking, etc. The
battery should last up to 5 hours.
Using Mapsource, up to 10 routes can be imported into the unit either on internal memory or the card. The waypoints can be autoarranged for the most
efficient travel.
Once the route has been transferred to the Nuvi, simply use the 'import from file' menu option to see it.
Tools > My Data > Import Route from File
The US Maps are preloaded but for Baja we have found a really good source at www.bicimapas.com.mx. These guys are constantly updating and are beginning to incorporate autorouting.
Hope this helps

I picked up the Garmin 60 csx today. I have a home in the Suth Campos (Nuevo Mazatlan) of San Felipe. I know there are a few mapping options but can
anyone recommend a better GPS map for the area, side roads, mines, sites, etc for south of San Felipe? Thanks in advance.
