Garmin is the best
I prefer the Atlas – but go with what you know
Will it charge when connected to the computer or another power source? If it charges everywhere else except the car, that would indicate a problem with the cigarette lighter or a problem with the car charging cable. It could be a blown fuse for the cigarette lighter or in the car charging cable, or could be an electrical problem in the car.

Charge it using the accompanying wall charger. You can start it up while its charging; most manufaturers suggest giving it a full charge before start up; its advisable to to do so because this ensures the batter has a long life.
If you are too eager to start it up – go ahead… but do give it one full good 5 to 6 hour charge the first time.
I have a 2001 Ford Excursion and I travel a bit. I take my kids snowboarding and to travel lacrosse tournments occassionally. I want a good GPS that will take me anywhere. Please give me reason why one is better and if you know one that is better please tell me and why it is.
The Garmin tech support folks can tell, but what I’ve heard from a very few folks who’ve had that problem was the tiny, thin wire broke loose from the battery. That might happen it the unit gets slammed hard. The antenna wire is also a very frail wire to watch out for. If you open the unit up and find this problem and solder back the connection, that might fix it. Another problem I’ve heard of is the battery being completely ruined by being left in the car in extremely high temperature. Garmin can repair that, or you can if you get the battery and transplant it. Those batteries have a protection circuit on them- something like a thermistor to protect it while charging. You can look for a replacement with the protector, or take the protector off the old ruined battery and put it on a new battery. Before you open anything, or mail anything, make sure there is power coming from the charger. It’ll say on the screen that the unit is charging and it has completed charging when the time is up.
I have the Streetpilot c550 and was told about geocaching but don’t know how to set this up. I downloaded GeoBuddy and downloaded geotargets and it is on my GPS and comes up on my favorites list but doesn’t seem to be working right.
am planning on purchasing a navigation system, and am stuck between the two listed above. i just wanna know wat year they were made so that i can know which has the newer maps. and which would u prefere using?
