Long shot, I know this is an old GPS unit but worth trying.
I have a 2720 unit currently with the City Navigator 2008 map. I also have access to my original "City Navigator North America Update DVD 2008" with serial number. My computer was replaced and it does not have any Garmin software installed on it from the last time I played with this years ago.
I am planning a trip to Mexico and now I need to add the Mexico region to the GPS. Well, it seems like some more recent City Navigator NT could still work on the unit (I came across people confirming this on NT 2011) so instead of going thru the pain to simply add Mexico from my 2008 DVD, I am looking for help finding and installing newer maps on the unit.
Anyone with experience doing this? So here are my questions, any feedback would be very welcome, as I have not played with this unit in years and have only a vague idea of the language described in this thread:
1. In order to upload a more recent USA/Mexico map, would I need to use my City Navigator DVD or download fresh software from the web? I am not sure how to start and how to find the required software, hence the question.
2. Where/how to find newer North America maps compatible with the 2720? It seems like it can take City Navigator 2011. Any other map sources that is recommended?
3. Would I be able to fit the regions necessary to cover the route below in the 2720? I understand it has limited storage capacity. Here is the route:
