I trail ride in heavily wooded areas. I would like to start doing some riding off the beaten path. I am interested to know what handheld GPS units some of you use. Which GPS gets the best reception under heavy tree cover? What about value for the money?

Jimmy R asked:


My dad just got his pilot liscense and wants to get a GPS with weather updates for his plane. I have been going through alot of different systems and am having a hard time finding one specifically geared for aviation with weather updates, I would like to go below $1,000, but if I can’t get a good one for that I would be willing to go higher. Also, what are service options for weather updates? I know of XM are there any others?

vulpix_grant asked:


Been riding since Feb and I LOVE Cruising Interstates and traveling to all the attractions located around Central Florida. But the GPS I use in the Car a Garmin C330 isn’t waterproof, and has a short battery life.

That’s why I’m looking for a GPS that can mount to my bike, is waterproof, and I can swap out batteries from Walmart or something if it dies.

Any suggestions would be apreciated.

Can you fly a direct GPS route on international flights?

stingjam asked:


For example, can you legally fly a direct gps route from Guadeloupe to Opa Locka, FL? Or would you have to stick to airways?

What are all the current reasons why our General Aviation system still uses airways?
I’ve actually flown as co-pilot into Opa Locka International from Jamaica before, but it was an IFR flight. There were customs and immigrations officers there.

Is there a way to track gps navigations already in a vehicle versus buying a separate gps tracking device?

sunshine_grin asked:


They sell gps tracking devices for hundreds of dollars, but isn’t there a way to just track the current gps navigation that is used in a car? Why have 2 devices if you can use the current one. Don’t both use satelite to get locations etc?

I’m trying to decide whether to purchase the blackberry 8120 (which has wifi) or wait for the 8130 (GPS)?

What is the difference though? I am aware what wifi is but what exactly does GPS do?

Thanks alot.
