Hello guys,

I was searching for "how to upload new maps garmin 2720" and to my surprise this thread popped up! What a relief to know that maybe I'll be able to use my Garmin 2720 on my upcoming trip to Mexico!

Before jumping on the steps described in this thread, I wanted to clarify some questions and make sure I following the correct steps. My 2720 unit currently has 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.

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?
