Also, while you're still in the U.S., you may want to open a bank account with a bank that has "links" to a Mexican bank, since you can't open accounts in the U.S. once you're here (as far as I know). When you get here, open an account with that "linked" Mexican bank. That way, you can easily transfer funds online, use the ATM machine without extra fees, etc.
Re checks: This is a cash society. Hardly anyone will take checks. They will take credit cards, but you can get a nice discount at some places if you pay cash instead.
I dunno about the GPS, but buy some good maps. You'll need them.
Good luck!
It wasn't checks as much as deposit slips. I work for several people. Most pay me with PayPay or direct deposit. I have one that sends me checks.
Now, I'm using counter deposit slips. They will only send checks/deposit slips to my bank address which is in Laredo. Laredo won't forward them because they are in a box. Catch 22.......
So, every 6 months, I call the bank and talk one of the clerks into sending me a handful of generic deposit slips. They always offer to send me printed ones free. Try explaining all this to a 20 year old high school grad.

Why is that? Do you live outside Lakeside or Jalisco?
We've been here 10 years and ALWAYS had to prove last 3 months bank statements.
You have no memory at all, which explains a lot. You knoe I live in Ajijic. You've seen me and accused me of "looking very old." I repeat, in 7 years I've never had to show proof of income.
David - I have never knowingly seen you in person, nor accused you of being old unless it was in fun.
