One thing to note is that if you move up to the Oregon 550, the waypoint limit jumps to 2000. Very handy for long tours.

I have not tried the Sporty Pal, but have played with the iPhone google app. Its great if you are in your service area, but may be impracticle for a long tour, as GPS phone coverage is still spotty. As far as mapping your GPS waypoints, any .gpx file from a unit can be drag-and-dropped right into Google Earth for instant display. Enjoy that trick!

Here is the State Department travel wrning for Mexico.

Please note that this is for travel within Mexico, and as mentioned before, the Southern Tier is routed entirely within the US. Anyone using common sense should be fine.
