Which gps?
Hi Everyone, What is a good, reliable and inexpensive GPS for MX and Central America, and where should you get it? Any special software specific to MX that you'll have to buy as well? Thanks!

Unfortunately, as with many programs, Apple products do not work with MS products unless the MS OS is installed on the Apple. As far as I know there is no good mapping or GPS that works with Apple. Most Apple and many new mini computer things like iPad or whatever - even MS stuff - does not have the hard drive capacity for programs such as S&T (almost 2GB - consider every street in North America and the ability to do many things with those maps) - they rely on the Internet to function - some can have added capacity using USB flash drives or whatever. I am no expert or authority on any of this.
We have a 14" screen for our S&T in our motorhome but we use a Garmin when in the car. We are thinking of buying one of the new Garmins with the 7" screen but we would still be planning our trips and routes using S&T. Since we travel to many areas where Internet may not be perfect the devices that rely on being online are useless to us.
The reasons we find S&T to be the best all around and over all program for planning and routing are way to numerous to list. My tutorial just scratches the surface of what can be done with S&T. After using it for 7 years (with new versions each year) we are still learning new tricks we can do with it. You can plan your route using S&T and then send the route to some Garmins but I have not done it so cannot say which Garmin or how to do it.
Brains vary but mine seems to enjoy playing with gadgets like S&T and looking at maps and creating routes to get to places we want to go. We often find places we did not know existed by perusing our S&T maps. Everyone has a different brain and different ways of looking at these things.
