Can a GPS system work in Mexico?

Question

I'm thinking of driving down there for my summer vacation and if i had a gps it would be easier

Answer 1

check the maps that are loaded in the gps before buying it. not many will have mexico on it.  

Answer 2

Yes it can work.

GPS means Global Positioning Satellite.

So yes a GPS can work in Mexico, it can work anywhere in the world.

Answer 3

its mexico y go there theres tomaany ppl

Answer 4

Yes GPS will work there but the GPS unit has to have the mapping and specs for Mexico for it to work there. Most GPS units purchased in the US are only pre loaded with US mapping although some have Canada and other countries. Check it out and I think you can also upload other countries mapping into most GPS systems.

Answer 5

Yes, but not all are capable.  Check the specifications before purchasing.

Answer 6

You have to get one that has the ability to upload maps.

I assume the question is about the maps. If you got no map, the gps will work, but all you will get is just numerical positioning data.

I know NAVTEQ based gps systems will work anywhere.

NAVTEQ has very accurate worldwide.

That includes mexico, the rest of south america, europe, asia and even the middle east.
