Luis,

There is no current road map for Mexico so you'll need to create it yourself.  
The program 'shpcv' will convert a shapefile, where you'll have to begin, to 
SSF format.  From there the program ssfgsf will convert SSF into a GSF file.  
It should be that simple, but I'll have to play around with it here to make 
sure it works correctly.
