I just bought a new toy- a Garmin nuvi 855 GPS for my Prerunner. It will be over a year before I go back to Mexico, and I was wondering if any of you have used any downloaded maps for Mexico. I haven't found much available on Amazon or ebay. Any suggestions?

There is the LB map and the Baja Topo Map (on EBAY). Both are pretty basic (but inexpensive)

I used their product in my Colorado 400 last November, very impressed with the detail offroad. Will try to post a screenshot.
