Using navi POI's out of the country? — AVIC411 Forum Archive

Posted May 26, 2009 · 18:10 UTC#1

Hi, I'm going on a trip to Baja Mexico next week so I was wondering what will happen once I cross the border? Will I get an error message for going off the coverage area? but most importantly, would I be able to use POI's I created using Google Maps and Avic Feeds for my trip? I used Longitude and Latitude. I know I won't have a map on the screen but i don't need it since I've been down there so many times, I just want to get to a specific point around the area.

Thanks in advance!

Not quite sure what will happen, since I don't have any POIs set in Mexico, but you could try to center the map on the approximate location where your POIs are (basemap would have at least Mexican borders on it) and then trying to do a POI search around cursor... see if anything comes up...

Thanks BorisM! That's a good idea, I live in San Diego CA so I'll drive near the border to see what happens :mrgreen:

You're welcome.

You don't even need to drive there.Just scroll the map to somewhere on the Mexico side of the border, click the map to set the red cursor there, then do a search...
