we have a Magellan 760, but what di we need to do or buy to get Mexico on it?
Hi Ilea,
I wish I had good news for you, but I don’t. Magellan has a topo product for Mexico, but it is not compatible with RoadMates. It looks as if Direct Route North America only has a rudimentary map of Mexico, and I’d be surprised if their Worldwide basemap was any better. You might want to contact the folks at http://www.bicimapas.com.mx/English.htm
It appears that they do custom Magellan maps. They may be producing commercial, non-custom, Magellan maps at some point. You might want to ask them.
