i wanna buy navigation system which si GPS, but I don’t know which one would be the best one, so can anyone tell me please,.. it would be the first my GPS Navigation in my life..
thank you so much, and I will appreciate …
I found that Garmin is usually more reliable, and updates faster for new roads. I had TomTom, and I was trying to find a development that had just been built a few months before and it hadn’t updated yet. Luckily, my girlfriend had Garmin on her phone, and they did have it. It only took us an hour of searching to figure that out. =P

the canadian map, because it doesn’t have it as is. If so do you know where I can find it? Thanks
I got this navigation system and had the misconception that you could get traffic information on it right out of the box. I was apparently wrong, and it seems I need some kind of FM transmitter, but I’m not sure what the cheapest solution is. Appreciate the help in advance.

They are the same and have the same software but only as far as maps go..
The stand alone ones (mine anyway) also gives you the option of a walking route or bicycle route.
It is easier to connect it to your home computer and download different voices and even make your own splash picture.(it is too hard for me to bring my car into the house to do this.
I have Yoda, Darth Vader, Patrick Stewart, Ozzy Osbourne(he swears), Steve Irwin, and a couple of other voices downloaded onto mine for directions.
No. Only a small subset of cell phone users will be able to use that app. First you need a smartphone, which usually has an expensive data package. A lot of people are happy with their “dumbphone” and don’t want to pay for a data plan. Second, the smartphone has to be running Android 2.0 OS. Android phones simply haven’t taken off and even with the new phones and new OS, I don’t think Android will be widespread. Even if the app is ported to the iPhone OS, there will still be a lot of people out there who won’t have a phone that can run the Google navigation app. I don’t think people will change phones and plans just to use the Google app. They’ll just keep using their old phone and buy a regular GPS navigation device.
Then there are the issues of battery life and processing power of the phone, screen size, user interface, handling navigation and phone calls at the same time, and having a data signal when in rural areas.
Yes, many people will adopt the Google navigation app, but there are many reasons people will stick with the traditional GPS device.
Can I just take it out of the box and use? Do I need to download maps and things for it? I have no idea…
