I have a 1490lmt, If I install a new SD Drive will I get Mexico when I upgrade to the newest map upgrade?

No
I'm guessing, from the info you are providing here. You bought the unit with lifetime upgrades from a local store? If so, you don't get the option of having it on a sd card. It gets updated through software from Garmin and your puter. They gave you an upgrade card with a number on it. Your unit gets north america, that does not include mexico. If you had said you got a lifetime upgrade on e-bay, i would have said yes, its possible. I have seen those floating around. Easy way to check to see if i'm right is to look at your unit and see if you have Mexico on it now.

Thanks,
Yo are correct I bought it at a store,
I have upgraded it once, I don't have Mexico now, I thought that Mexico didn't get installed because I din't have enough memory.
I think my confusion lie in believing all NA map upgrades were the same.

When you download the new map set, Mexico is included as part of NA now. However, the first DL downloads base maps, and then is updated after that to the full version, as I recall. MapSource will confirm this.
You can add Mexico from MapSource, and export to your SD card. I have, and it works.

Try what Juggernaut says, I'd be interested to see if indeed you get Mexico. Memory is not an issue. Adding it to the sd card is easy then.
