Is there a GPS system that I can put in my car but that also can be taken out and used when walking in an unfamiliar area or do they all do this? Is a digi-walker different from a GPS system? Is there a product that can serve both functions?

What is the difference between CAR and trecking GPS?

GPS 1 Comment »
FB asked:


Hello;

I really would like to understand the difference between Car GPS and Trecking GPS. Are they similar?

I mean here from the point of syncing with satellites. I saw some trecking GPS that sync with 12 ( 12 channels). Does that mean that they are more sensitive than Car GPS?

Is it possible to use car GPS for trecking :-)
Or are there GPS that can be used for both applications at the same time, and may be also for sailing, let’s say :-)
If they are identical hardware-wise, does that mean one can use maps files for cars on a trecking GPS, or vice-versa?

Thank you in advance.

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

BeepBeep asked:


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!

Can you recommend an inexpensive GPS system that could be used for both geocaching and navigation?

Gene K asked:


Please note if any additional upgrades have to be bought to add navigation. I could most likely get by with little detail at the city level. I would just like to know how far it is between towns when driving, etc.

Also would like to try a little geocaching. A GPS unit for me is a luxury, so I don’t want to blow a lot of money on it.

Thank you.

What is the best GPS System that allows multiple stops & route optimization?

lilystang asked:


I am looking to purchase a good GPS unit for my car. I would like a unit that will have audio directions, can allow to input multiple stops & can optimize a route with those stops.

Currenlty, Microsoft Streets & Trips works works well although using a laptop in the car is not exactly safe.

I have read a few reviews for some GPS systems, but many reviews conflict each other. Any suggestions?
