I live in New York and I am planing on a road trip to see my cousins in Maryland. I have a gps and want to use it to get me there but its set in New York state. I can change the state that im in but do i really have to do that every time i pass through i different state? What happens if i don’t? Will the gps know if im in a different state?

What do I do now that I have lost the Trial Traffic Subscription that came with my Magellan GPS 4250?

On Friday, we are going on a road trip down to North Carolina. We live in Jersey, and we are leaving at 5 in the morning. We want to avoid traffic from rush hour, so we NEED that trial paper. It came with the GPS but i lost it! Help!!!! : – ( Is there a way to activate the trial subscription without the paper with the code on it, other than purchasing a subscription?

What is the best GPS for car use in the US?

I’m planning to do a road trip across the US and plan to buy a top-of-the-line GPS unit. I would like something with touch screen, speech capabilities, traffic information, MP3 and bluetooth capability, etc. I will primarily use this for my car but I do have a motorcycle too. But I’d rather have a better car GPS than one that is car+motorcycle friendly if I had to choose between the two. Two models I am looking at are the Garmin StreetPilot 2820 and the Garmin Zumo 550. I’m leaning toward the Zumo 550 as it seems to be better than the StreetPilot 2820 in almost every way. Can anyone out there shed some light on why I would opt for the StreetPilot 2820 instead of the Zumo 550 or why I should go with a different brand/model? I’m a first-time car GPS buyer and have seen neither Garmin product in person. (All of the stores around here carry only the lower end models.) Thanks!
