He already had a handheld unit for caching. He's looking for a mobile unit that is wife friendly, and can map out northern Mexico. More specifically the area south of Brownsville, TX. Thanks for the info though, I'll pass it along. Jon KC9AXZ www.kc9axz.com

Hello all, My brother is moving to southern Texas / northern Mexico. He is looking for a new GPS unit that will run maps for northern Mexico as well as the entire USA. He doesn't need to use the unit off road, just for car travel. He prefers a mountable unit and not a hand held version. This brings me to the point of asking for suggestions on units and software. The main functions he needs are point to point directions and would like voice guidance. Thanks Jon

Darn! I just got the Pharos 525 PDA/GPS. I just inquired with tech support about this issue. They told me how to input the latitude/longitude. When I did what they told me it didn't work either. Just allowed me to save the center of the map also. Guess tech support didn't know that either. Jon KC9AXZ www.kc9axz.com

Wanted Digitraveler, cheaper than eBay prices. I don't need cables, mounts, manuals or software. I just need a working unit and it doesn't have to be pretty. If you have one laying around email me at the address below with offer. jon at kc9axz (insert dot here) com Jon KC9AXZ www.kc9axz.com

That was not what I wanted to hear. Oh well. I guess I'll hold off, and keep my R&R. I'd love to be able to load like you described for City Navigator. The maps that Garmin decided needed to be loaded into my GPS go way to far North and South, but I need it to go further West. I can't load more maps with the memory I have available. Thanks Jon KC9AXZ

I'm considering buying the MetroGuide CD's. I've seen a older version of MetroGuide (2.00) in action. I didn't like the map selection that was offered. I do have Roads & Rec, which I like the map selection options. The version of MetroGuide I seen, would select way larger areas of map than I wanted. The version of Roads & Rec I have, allow me to select different counties in the state. I'd prefer to select by county, or better yet highlight areas to load (like cropping pictures in a editor). I'm curious as to if this is still how maps are selected in the newer versions of MetroGuide. I'm thinking of buying MetroGuide 4.02 or 5.0, for my Garmin Legend. Thanks Jon KC9AXZ
