Re: Campsite in Oaxaca
Reed, We liked the campground at Bahias Huatulco Tongalunga Public campground. No power, good for you but has showers, toilets, dump station and super cheap. More birds then I have seen anywhere in Mexico. Right along a golf course, plenty of room, good for you. Almost as close to the beach as Xpu-Ha. Nice little town with good restaurants and grocery stores. We have been there 3-4 times over the years.309Views0likes0CommentsRe: Streets and Trips Alternative for Mexico?
The 2797 LMT Garmin works great in MX. It has a 7" high resolution screen and doesn't get sun glare so it is easy to see. The best thing is you can Upload .gpx files that you save using Street & Trips. I have an old post that explains how to do this. You can buy these with free shipping direct from Garmin for $200. Maps for lifetime, 4 times/year. Garmin-2797 You can also upload free OSM (Mexico) maps into your Garmin. The Garmin comes with Mexico & Canada maps- All of North America.610Views0likes0CommentsRe: Which GPS is best for Mexico?
I have a Garmin Nuvi 2797 which I purchased because it is large 7", comes with lifetime maps & traffic for Canada, USA and Mexico. and it can import routes. NEVER trust where it routes me on it's own. I use MS Streets & Trips (Discontinued in 2013). 1. Create a route with all vias you need to go the way you want. 2. Save it and then click Data/Export to GPX file 3. Copy that GPX file to the GPX file folder in your Nuvi Now to select the route in Nuvi, 4. Turn it on 5. Click Apps -- Trip Planner 6. Find trip GPX that you saved, select it 7. Even then it may route a different way between vias, so add vias if necessary.279Views0likes0CommentsRe: Projected Trip - Yucatan + Tikal
I don't believe you have to turn in your FMM entering Guatemala through El Ceibo. Try not to. For sure the 10 yr TIP stays on your RV. Everyone talks about the dangers going south through Tamaupolis, however I never have had any problems going in either direction for past 7 years in a row. Check out my blogs and driving miles and descriptions in the link in my signature. Have fun, get a Garmin GPS, it helps but don't route your trip with it/475Views0likes0Comments
