streets&trips-Mexico
We have S&T on our lap top. Will it be of any use in Mexico? Should we put any S&T information on the lap top before we start out?

Here is a Wiki website . . .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_Mexico . . .
that lists the cities with populations over 100,000. If you click on the Lat Lon GPS coordinates you will find maps. We are on very slow speed so I have no idea if any of these maps are any good.
Over the years I still find S&T to be the very best source of maps of cities and towns all over Mexico. For $20 to $40 you load it in your computer and you can find street maps of almost anywhere. I can provide examples but if you look at our blog there are already examples taken from S&T. One recent one would be Lo de Marcos street map. I am not that much into technological advancements (we still only use a basic phone and do not text or any of that other smart stuff) but I do think paper maps have been obsolete for quite some time and there is no way I know of any paper map can come close to competing with the digital maps that are available today. If you still want paper maps you can find what you need in S&T and then print it out - we do it all the time. I think probably Guia Roji and others are aware that digital is in and paper is out so they are phasing out. You can buy CD maps from Guia Roji but as I have posted the SCT maps are free for the overview and we have S&T available for almost every road and street in North America for a bargain basement price. Yes, we have a Guia Roji and look at it from time to time - but it cannot compare with S&T - not by a long shot.
