MegaMel on “Why Use a GPS For Riding To Panama”

MegaMel rides his VStrom to Panama with Sandie and talks about using a GPS along the way. I bought BICI Mapas Mexico maps and Central America maps (two separate products) and installed them on Micro SD cards to use in my Garmin 60 CX GPS. I had previously used the Mexico maps but only bought the Central America map a week before riding down. I don’t know how I would have made it to Panama without it. I’m sure I would have been asking directions a thousand times without it. Even though the Central America map is far from complete, it was a “life-saver”. Often, I would simply do a “Find” – select the city, and simply follow the purple line. Sometimes I would locate a place on the map (coordinating with the maps in my guidebook), then place a waypoint there. Next, I’d use the Find/ Go To, to draw the purple line to follow. It worked great!
