What is wrong with my Tom Tom One xls GPS unit?
Rambo asked:
My GPS unit use to work great, but now if I disconnect the pwer cord, it will just stop working an turn off, almost as if the battery cannot sustain the charge. Also, no matter how long I re-charge it, if I unpluug it it stops working. Please help?
I wanted to add that “over charging” is not the issue, sometimes I do not use it for weeks and it works fine plugged, does not work unplugged, can I buy a battery?

What is the best hiking and road GPS out there?
kevin b asked:
I recently started hiking and thought that a trail GPS would be something good to invest in. I am now using a Magellan Maestro 3250 but I would like to get one that can do both road ways and hiking. I am also notoriously clumsy so something sturdy and water proof would be nice. Anyone out there use a gps unit that they can recommend?

Do Minnesota law allow mounting a GPS unit on the windshield?
John asked:
I ask because I live in St. Paul and cops here are real #@%!. They would stop you for every tiny little thing. I just think they’re bored, but still very annoying. I did a search, most came back stating CA and MN have laws prohibiting GPS on windshield, however, there was also a couple that says MN revocked th law in 2006, but the sites aren’t the most reputable sources. Can anyone help me?

Can I use GPS on my Nokia 5800 without a subscription or Internet?
Baron asked:
I use a pay-and-go card and don’t want to have to get a subscription or connect to the Internet just to use GPS (though I understand I must pay to get updated maps). Is there some way I can make it independent, like a standalone GPS unit you get in a car?
