Garmin nuvi 50LM US 5.0 GPS Navigation System with Lifetime Maps $109.99 free shipping

Quote from drzzz : I did a Google search for you and found these (below). There might be others. Garmin nüvi 419-210 NUVI1490LMT 5 inch, Lifetime Maps (North America, incl. Canada & Mexico) $110 Refurbished at Walmart (free ship to store) http://www.walmart.com/ip/Garmin-...50&veh=cse.

I think you meant "Lifetime Maps (North America, incl. Canada & Puerto Rico)"
I'm looking for a Garmin with Lifetime maps that includes Mexico and I don't think this one is it.
Good find though. Looks like a good deal. Thanks,

Quote from ddrhazy : 1. Maybe some people don't have data on their phones. 2. The same reason why people get a standalone camera: A device designed to do one thing will do that thing better than something designed to do many things. 3. Smart phones can be buggy. GPS is something that is vital for some people and it needs to work 24/7. 4. GPS eats up battery of a smart phone, and perhaps people don't wanna use a car charger that could potentially fry their 400 dollar device.

Good list and here's another reason:

5. Sometimes you need navigation where there is no cell coverage to feed your smart phone with map data. Sadly, this is when you need standalone GPS the most.

Guys i been searching for cheap and good truck gps system, i like garmin more,anybody knows any cheap models? Help needed

Quote from mikedaley : The use of smartphones as we know it now is about to come to a bleak end. The days of unlimited data usage are over. Therefore if you travel a lot and use your smartphone for it's GPS abilities, you will risk going over your data limits and socked with a huge bill. These stand alone GPS units will become even more popular as smartphone usage declines.

Them compooter thangs everbody's bin talkin about iz jist a fad too

After some searching, I found this from an Amazon reviewer: Although in the product description, Mexico is stated as coming preloaded in the North America maps, "Mexico is not preloaded and comes at an additional download cost". There are lots of Amazon reviewers for this product, who were upset that the product description says Mexico is included, but once they got the product, found it was not preloaded and had to purchase Mexico maps separately. Although, one person put in a card that had it's own Mexico maps. You can check out the Amazon reviews here: http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-Blue...Descending and typing "Mexico" in the "Search Customer Reviews" box.

I was going off the Walmart Q&A section, at the bottom of this Walmart product page. At least 2 reviewers say that this North America map includes Mexico. You can type "Mexico" in the "Search Q&A" tab, at the bottom, to find the 2 reviewers' answers if you wish: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/pr...w9MynSeamY. Not sure what Garmin's deal is with the poor product description.

I think if you are really looking for Mexico maps preloaded into the device, you'd be better off calling Garmin and asking for help finding the right product for you. Then, do a search online to find the best pricing for that particular product. Contact Customer Support: http://www.garmin.com/us/support/contact

Quote from superdesi : why do people still buy GPS units? Don't you guys have smartphones? The only thing we should be using GPS units for is paper weights and door stops...

If you go from the US to Canada and use your phone, your international roaming charges would pay for 10 GPS units....

Mexico is not in North America
