Tony your definitely over thinking this. I always have them just snug and probably looser than recommended and have survived the topes in Mexico quite well for about 10 years now so we have hit a few way too fast. Shipping out of Houston for Cartegena in early to mid November. Trying to figure out how to make the free GPS maps work on a Garmin is crazy.

I bought the South American Map Pack from Garmin. So far in Buenos Aries to here at the falls in Brazil, they have been perfect even in little villages with dirt tracks leading to the rivers. Don't have 100% coverage for a couple of countries though - Bolivia being one, but I have downloaded those from Open Street Maps and installed them on the SD card.
