We used this map to drive down to Veracruz and then up along the coast to Campeche. We found the map useful but outdated – several important highways, some of them several years old, were missing. By the time we got to Veracruz, we purchased a Guia Roji road atlas to supplement the GPS. Where this map shines is in the city and town maps – we were surprised that even remote mountain villages had their streets mapped. Even with the GPS and paper atlas, it is possible to get really lost, for instance we spent the better part of an hour trying to cross Tampico – the GPS helped a lot in showing us where we were within the city but the changed street directions and construction zones were too much for the routing to work. Another caveat, and this may be an issue with GPS navigation in general, but be aware that in mountainous regions the routing software will blissfully send you across a mountain range instead of around it. This happened to us and luckily we had good weather and plenty of gas, but the 2 hour segment turned into more than 3 hrs of very intense driving on deserted mountain roads. Overall the map is worth the price but you will still want a new road atlas to plan your inter-city routes and use the GPS for its time of arrival feature as well as driving within the cities.

The maps are a real help in one of the largest and complex cities in the world. Some are areas not mapped but overall is very good. Why to arrive late of risk your self? With this been said, you have to be careful since Amazon does is confused between a CD and SD. With the CD you can load the map in the PC and you can plan your rout in advance. They send me the SD by mistake. At the beginning, the purchase was redirected to Crutchfiel and I see no problem on this. But then when the SD arrived, I found that Crutchfiel did not have the CD, so all of this was a mess. I can not return the SD because I am using it. Amazon is not longer the primary seller so you may be careful. In conclusion, the map is good the purchase redirection and the confusion between CD/SD are not. See the advertising, the picture is a SD but the title says CD.

I was pleasantly surprised with the coverage of middle sized towns (100K people). This coverage was excellent.
I was unpleasantly surprised at the coverage of the highways outside towns. Lousy.
I was flabbergasted with the lousy routing capability. My suggestion is to not even try to use it.
All in all a GuiaRoji is a much better bet.

I purchased this for my new Garmin 1690. We traveled to San Felipe in Baja California via Mexicali. In Mexicali, I noticed areas adjacent to Highway 5 that were blank on the GPS, but there clearly was development with roads etc.
I did a search for lodging(and other POI’s) when in San Felipe and the closest were across the border in the southern US. I thought I may have gotten a bad disk, but Garmin customer support said there were no POI’s in the San Felipe area.
If you want to navigate major highways, Mexico City Navigator might be worth it. Don’t expect to be able to use it to find POI’s like you can in the US.

Took it out of the box and put it into my Garmin. I was able to see maps in Mexico even from here (Iowa City). I was in Guadalajara and it worked just perfect! I was telling the taxi driver which way to go and the name of the streets! I also took it to Toluca and Mexico City and it worked beautifully. I recommend it heartedly. It was a good price too!
