has anyone ever noticed that GPS units tell you in writing and on the screen at start up that you are responsible for your activities….this is in response for this story http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20091230/sc_space/lostcouplecantblamegpsairforcesays

what are your thoughts on people using GPS, driving, hiking or anything else,
is there a point where we should give up on people who can’t be saved from themselves and their stupidity?

I was just wondering if most things with their GPS units had to do with new software or hardware. I’m looking for great, full featured navigation. As in lane guidance and fast rerouting, stuff like that.

Hi ,

I am really wondering about this, and couldn’t find any answer, or maybe I wasn’t searching for the right thing.

With all these GPS units being sold nowadays, how come the satellites keep handling all these units questioning “what’s my position now”, how come they scale so well? I need a point to start understanding this.

Cheers!

I’m doing a lot of research on GPS units, but none of their websites seem to say whether or not they come with route planning software, update software, etc. What has your experience been?
I need a unit that will plan and optimize (not just sort) a route with up to 80 waypoints.

LD asked:


I am looking at cars, and it seems like if you want a GPS navigation system it costs thousands more, but if you go to circuit city or somewhere where they sell those hand-help GPS navigation units like from Garmin etc. they cost only a couple hundred. Is there a difference between these two that I can’t see which explains why the car navigation systems cost so much more?

Middy S asked:


I want to buy a GPS unit for my older Parents who are a bit tech challenged. So, what units are there that tend to be the easiest to use? I want something that can go with them in a car, that has voice guided prompts.

Thanks.
