GPS, radios now illegal in Jalisco unless orignal equipment

Trouble is out of sight means out of sight to satellites unless you have an external antenna hooked up.

If you need your GPS I would suggest placing it out of sight and "listening" to the GPS lady give driving instructions.
Just a thought.
Happy trails,

This has totally gone off topic but I will allow it to continue to run as long as it remains civil. Please keep it that way folks :).

NEWEST

I think maybe I learned something in this thread. NEWEST? Never saw it. Never used it. Found it. Tried it. Seems it shows you every thread in every forum – at least the ones that just started. Then you find every post in each of those threads in each of those forums. Has to be mind boggling. I just clicked on Newest and found at least 3 full pages of threads posted today – 11-13-13 – could be more??

I just go up to the right where it says Jump To Forum and click to get the drop down and then click to go to any forum I might be interested in – many are of no interest – and some I don’t even know what they are.

Above that box is another area that says My Forums where you can set the parameters you might want to appear showing the forums of interest to you personally. This way you can avoid all those of little or no interest. This would help those with no interest in forums such as those about places like Mexico from stumbling into places you would really rather not be. Seems easy enough to do.

In the years I have visited this forum – as well as a number of other forums – I have never had the time to look at all the threads even under those topics that might be of interest. I have no idea how anyone has to time to peruse all the information that can be found on the internet these days. I certainly don’t have the time for it.

So here is some of what I found. There are a bunch of forums and sub-forum categories. So say you are interested in CLASS A MOTORHOMES – you would then see these categories…….or sub-forums…..

Categories: All, General Topics, Restoration & Vintage RVs, Projects & Upgrades, Maintenance Issues & Tips, Travels & Favorite Places, Safety Issues & Recalls, Conversion Buses

Then all the threads in each of those categories – and then all the posts in each of those threads. So clicking on NEWEST gives you all of this and more. There are ways to limit you exposure to only the topics of interest to you. Roam around the website and you will find more……Anyone can really do just about anything they want – visit all or just visit one at a time – totally up to you.

I think that they are refering to the button that is under the Good Sam logo and RV.net on the blue band first word left, it says NEWEST.

And yes there are a lot of ignorant persons out in the world and all have a coment to air out, some have never travelled past the town they live in but can have a world wide opinion.

I don't see it as a problem. If you set up your gps while parked, no one is going to know you are looking at the screen while driving.

Here in Nuevo Leon, just like in Texas, driving and talking on a cell phone are illegal. I've been in the RGV recently and cellphones, Iphones and driving seem to be the norm as well as in Monterrey. Drives me nuts but I can't do two things at the same time anyway.

I wouldn't worry about it.

I'l bet I'm far from the only one who reads this on a tablet. Bumping the text up to a size that makes it comfortable to read means roughly half the topics listing is gone. Perhaps the moderators should make certain sections, like this one, have to be logged in seperately. That way only those who think the same and have gone to the same places can read and post here.

Is there anyway to block sections like this. I would hate to accidently post in the mexico forum again.

Sorry - none of this was directed at you specifically. You are apparently new to this forum while others are regulars and do not miss any opportunity to post what can only be defined as dumb remarks. Anyone who has anything of use to post is more than welcome - positive - negative - or otherwise. Lots of the regulars here post negative things about Mexico all the time - but they still return year after year. What many here object to is those who come on this forum day after day and find things to say about things they obviously know nothing about or could care less about. Perhaps if their posts provided some intelligent well thought out information that could be of use to anyone instead of just behaving like 10 year olds someone would welcome them.

I have been on this forum for over 7 years and have never heard of the
"newest" button - don't know what it is or where it is. I just looked again and cannot find it. I post on the Mexico forum because I have knowledge and experience to share with people and to help people to learn about Mexico. What possible reason can those who have no interest in this forum to visit it solely to make inane derogatory comments that are of no use to anyone? Juvenile?

I came across this thread because I have the forum set to "newest". So why can't folks post what they want even if you disagree with it? I did not know this was only pro mexico thread. I think the law is a money grab. I thought it was a county in California. Sounds like a California law. But I will never go to California either. But I believe I have the right to say they have some crazy laws.

So if there are places in the US that you don't like, I take it that you not only do not go there but you also do not say anything negative about the locale either. If you think I believe that, then I got some oceanfront property to sell you in Arizona (there must be an ocean somewhere.... they got all that sand).

Or is it that you think no one should say anything negative about anything. If so then perhaps you should practice what you preach.

I whole heartedly agree. I also just hit the newest button to keep up with all aspects of rving.

A lot of people don't realize that, using the NEWEST link at the top of the page, it lists all the newest topics in order, indicating what forum it's in last. No one gets to that point. Thus, although it appears that someone clicked into the Mexico and South America forum to come in and comment in this thread (as well as others), this is not always the case. That's why we see a lot of people in threads here talking about how they'll never travel to Mexico, with a lot of said replies to it asking "... then why are you in here?".
