Thread: GPS Hardware?

What kind of GPS system do you have?

I don't have one at the moment, but I notice the prices seem to be pretty reasonable. I could have really used one of those years ago when I used to drive more for work.

I have one that I bought on Black Friday from Wal-Mart. It's a Garmin and it works wonderful. I don't need some fancy one, just one that will give me directions.

I guess you should hook them up to a computer and go online from time to time to keep them up to date? I was looking at the manual of my father-in-law's and there was something about that. He took his back.

I use a GPS from my cellphone, I have a nokia E71. I like shooting birds with one gadget.

I used to have a TomTom, but I gave it to a friend when I moved out of the city and to more rural place where GPS is useless. When I visit the city, I use my Sprint phone's GPS system.

Yesterday I was looking at the Blackberry 8900 and was interested in its GPS feature, but for $10 per month as opposed to a one time fee, I think I'd go for a dedicated piece of hardware.

We have a Garmin that we bought several years ago and it still does the trick because of this very feature. Every few months we just hook it up to the computer and update the maps. It gets us to where we want to go.
