A great weakness for me is navigating big cities. While Tijuana cannot compare to The Big Enchilada it is big enough for me to get all twisted around.My budget is pathetic. I dare not look at a screen unless I pull off the roadway and my ears need a loud clear command voice.Maybe I can mount the screen way up near horizontal level.And reasonably accurate software,Anything available under a C-Note?

Hi Mex,I use google maps on my cell phone. I do have a tablet that I can use as well. I got a good quality suction cup (window) magnetic (cell phone) that holds it at in appropriate position. It does use some data, but the maps are accurate and the cost for a device is zero (unless you need the size of a small tablet).

A 2nd hand Garmin, pretty much any model should do nicely.They claim lifetime updates are for the original owner but they don't enforce it. My 2nd hand Nuvi is closing in on 12 years old and still updating and works great.

Maybe someone can bring one down to him??? Or, we are sold on eBay's Global Shipping Program. Fast and reliable and not TOO expensive for what you get. So far, everything has been less expensive than Mercado Libre or Amazon.mx.

Not all gps devices have good Mexico maps. Google maps is awesome in the cities. I often Google in HMO for some obscure business and Google gets me there. But that is in my toad. In an RV you could get into a lot of trouble using Google. Cost is Zero. Uber drivers in Mexico use Google.Moisheh

To be blunt, I need clearly spoken instructions shouted at my poor hearing. I can hear cellular speech through a Galaxy S4 but not through a burner.The screen would be for when speech isn't clear enough and I hassle my way off the roadway and park. Getting old is no fun. The problem is they erect signage and place it immediately after a critical junction. And kilometer after kilometer of streets with no names.
