Last year, when coming back through Hermosillo, we got caught up in a detour.We ended up in a seemingly residential area with no signs about how to get back to the main road. Luckily there was a Camaro with Arizona plates in front of us and I decided to follow him, assuming he was going to the border. I also was driving just my truck so it could have been worse if I had a trailer on behind me. Anyway, the Arizona guy led me back to the main road and on we went. Up until that time the Garmin Nuvi 2597 worked flawlessly down to Mazatlan and back.
However I also had maps and really checked the route with google maps and earth. So for me, the Garmin worked well last time. In about a week we'll be heading off to Mazatlan again, this time with our trailer. I'm loaded up with maps, Garmin, rabbits foot, 4 leaf clover and other good luck charms to help me avoid a city detour. Hope a black cat doesn't cross my path!
