Garmin Sucks!!
If you've followed this site at all, then you know that I hate Garmin. Garmin sucks! But it never ceases to amaze me just how incompetent this organization truly is. Not only do they design GPS units that intentionally destroy 90% of your waypoints. Not only do they design software so poorly that it's nearly impossible to figure out how to copy the maps into the GPS unit. But now, I find out that Garmin doesn't even offer maps of Baja California? When I google Garmin Mexico maps, the third link down is an official Garmin link to City Select Mexico NT version 2. This map clearly excludes Baja California and the web page is copyrighted 2009. But then, I see a note at the top that says "This product has been discontinued. We are happy to help you with any questions or concerns. Visit our support web pages for further assistance." I hate Garmin. Garmin sucks so bad. So bad.
(Disclaimer: The photo above is not a photo I took. Just something I found on the web. Killing me just to look at it though. Dying here.)
So, I did manage to find this Baja map for GPS.
Update: OK. Garmin still does suck. Very hard. But I think that, after digging around, I've discovered that they do cover the Baja area with City Navigator® Mexico NT. So, apparently they recently made some changes so that they do cover Baja california, but they're just so incompetent. So inept. So blissfully unaware of and unconcerned about their customers, that they aren't even capable of getting their website to redirect to the updated software. Nice going, Garmin. Just what I'd expect from a bloated blundering organization of fetid, pallid morons.
