Yes..You may have to purchase extra software that covers the Mexico area. I think any GPS company would have add-on software for it. I use Navigon and I know they have it for many other countries.
2 :
Has nothing to do with where you are, but everything to do with if you have maps for the area you are in. You'll have to get a navi-CD for mexico and put it in once you're in mexico, then it will work. it may need a few minutes to load into memory so be patient. As a matter of fact, chances are you'll have better GPS-sat-reception the farther south you go...up in the high north there's almost no coverage cuz most sats are on a much more southern orbit.

ya...it should. the UK is a eurpoean country.
2 :
Em is wrong. As a citizen of Spain i am, i assure you we don't have this connection here, neither do the Germans, or the French. The connector we use in *MAINLAND EUROPE* is a two-pin plug.
3 :
they have 220v 50cycles and that is the whole concern you need to consider
4 :
Different countries have different plug points.Even if its a 2pin some countries have a "pointy" end on the sides & some have rounded.So best u opt for an Universal adapter instead to be on the safe side.Happy hunting

What was the worth of the German/Austrian FLORIN

What was the worth of the German/Austrian FLORIN?
Doing some research on Mozart, I found that he was paid 150 florins a year while at work in Salzburg, Austria. How much would that compare to today? I know only that the German florin was distinct from the Italian florin and has been obeselete since 1790.

Hi. Is this the correct way to say "have a nice weekend" to someone in Austria

Hi. Is this the correct way to say "have a nice weekend" to someone in Austria?
I'm learning German, and not sure if it is spoken is Austria exactly the same as in Germany. Does this work for "have a nice weekend," when spoken to an Austrian? "Habt ein schönes wochenende!" Thanks.

I know a little German and that sounds right to me and I think it's the same German but if you plan to go there you should know that it isnt Austria to them but Osterreich
2 :
Yes you have that correct. In Austria they do speak german but they also speak austrian (.......) The german language is much more common in northern austria so keep that in mind
3 :
"Habt ein schönes Wochenende!" is grammatically correct, but you wouldn't really say it, 'cause it's more like written language. Generally, you'd abbreviate it to "Schönes Wochenende!" or "(Ein) schönes Wochenende euch!" when you are talking casually.
4 :
If you're just talking to one person it's: "Hab ein schönes Wochenende!" ("Habt ein schönes Wochenende" is plural, when you talk to more people) You can also say "Ich wünsche dir ein schönes Wochenende" (lit.: "I wish you a nice weekend" - singular) or: "Ich wünsche euch ein schönes Wochenende" (the same in plural) In Austria there are indeed some different words than in Standard German, but I'm pretty sure you can phrase this sentence that way. ;)
