Cruising Mexico Pacific
Mexico's mainland Pacific coast is the classic winter cruising ground: Banderas Bay's marinas, the palm-lined bays of the Costalegre and the old ports of the south, all under steady sunshine. The catch is the ocean — many anchorages are open roadsteads exposed to Pacific swell, lagoon entrances are shallow, and the Gulf of Tehuantepec breeds sudden gales. Depth comes from GMRT bathymetry, with community-mapped navaids, hazards and marinas, all offline. This region covers the mainland coast from Cabo San Lucas to Huatulco, Banderas Bay and the approaches.

Questions
How do I cross the Gulf of Tehuantepec?
Tehuantepec gales blow out from the isthmus with little warning, mostly in winter. Wait for a settled window and keep close inshore around the bay, so the fetch stays short if the wind arrives.
Does it cover Banderas Bay?
Yes — Puerto Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta, La Cruz and Punta de Mita, plus the whole mainland coast north to Mazatlán and south to Huatulco.
Will it work offshore with no signal?
Yes — fully offline once downloaded, which matters on the long hops between ports.
