Hi All!

My husband and I are looking to purchase a GPS system for our vehicles, and I want to know what brand is the best/easiest to use.

It seems like Garmin and Magellan are pretty popular, but I wanted to get some opinions and maybe some testimonials if you happen to own one of these brands.

Also, if there is a particular model that is good please let me know.

Thanks in advance!! :)

I bought a TomTom portable GPS navigation for my car but the equipment will only allow you to stick it to the car windshield… I don’t like it on the windshield because it blocks my view.. Is there any thing I can buy that allows me to stick it to the dashboard or somewhere else near other than the windshield?

Thanks in advance..

Differential GPS is useful to reduce errors when taking coordinates readings of a point on earth. in fact, and due to many reasons when we take latitude and logitude of a point using our standard GPS receiver , the readings will be shown somewhere els !

There is so many ways to reduce errors
one is and less coastly , using two receivers and set one as a base station … the question is HOW ??

Appreciate everyone who tried and simplified it here for me

Thanks in advance

I am currently with Cingular/AT&T and I would like to buy a new unlocked phone that has GPS or some type of google maps application. I actually have two questions about this: First, what is a good compatible phone? Second, how exactly does the application work when it is on your cell phone? Do I need a data plan? Or is it just an application that I can use for free? Thanks in advance!
