Since there aren't any maps yet for Mexico, it was very useful to me to find
some user points already recorded for Puerto Vallarta by Rich Irwin. I have
added another 20 points but I have to say we are in such a nice place, there
isn't much incentive to go exploring. I'll be here a few more days and will
probably walk to town and record a bunch of shops.
