Does anyone having some tips for a woman driving alone long distance ? Suggest GPS ?
Tracie R asked:
I’m traveling from NC to upstate NY alone and I’m driving by myself because I’m way too scared to fly. Anyway, I’m pretty nervous about driving alone on a 12 hour trip. I want to travel during the night so traffic isn’t so busy on the interstate. Can anyone offer any tips for a woman driving alone for the first time ? I think one of my biggest fears is getting lost. I have already visited a few map sites for directions. I think getting around DC will be the most confusing. I’m also thinking about getting a GPS. Can anyone recommend a good one or do you think it’s a good idea to get one ?
Just wanted to give a big thank you to all of the quick, really great answers !!! I got a lot of good advice and I’m sure other people will benifit from all this advice. Thanks again everyone.

Can I program my GPS to take a certain route?
Randy asked:
I have a Garmin GPS sytem. It always seems to take me down thousands of back roads to my destination. Is there a way to program it to take the most straightforward interstate route?

How is GPS service offered to civilians at no cost?
tincan3000 asked:
How is it that civilians are offered GPS service at no cost? I understand that it is being provided by the government. Is it paid for by tax money which would allow the general public to have access to GPS service? Will it ever be privatized such that companies will start charging consumers to have access to GPS signals?

Where’s the best online store to buy a portable gps?
missmysterious01 asked:
I’m not sure where to buy a portable gps online. I usually don’t buy stuff online that much, I’ve read a lot about online stores that scam people by charging more money onto their credit cards. So I’m not sure whether or not to buy it online since it’s not really that safe.

Are there any stores, online or that i can drive to, where I can get a updated map for my mio 230c GPS System?

Does your GPS take you on goofy detours for no reason?
Happy Camper asked:
You are driving home from work and your GPS suddenly guides you down a side street, where you get caught in a ridiculously busy intersection at Noname Street and Anywhere Place, and then guides you right back the way you were going. What causes this? Give details.
