One for the road

 

Garmin Mobile PC software brings navigation to your PC for a reasonable price but with some drawbacks.

Lots of features ; easy-to-use interface ; voice navigation ; compatibility with Malsingmaps maps

Using it on a notebook in dim light can be a bit fiddly

Hunting Lands Boundries

 

Knowing your not trespassing and hunting on public lands is priceless.

Worked FANTASTIC with my 10.1" Windows XP emachine. There is a program update that must be downloaded from Garmin's site so that you can transfer mapsets from your Garmin BaseCamp program. We were using the WY-BLM4GPS map set which not only gives your...

Appears you can only have one down load map in the program at a time. When we transfered CO-4BLMGPS it over wrote the WY mapset. There is no owners manual and none at Garmins site so trial & error and still learning. The edition we purchased may not...

Great GPS HW/SW for EEE

 

This is an inexpensive GPS option for laptop owners. Adding it to my EEE allows me to have GPS at my destination when I travel by air.

The hardware device picks up strong signals even inside my house. I can mount it with the included suction cups to the back of my EEE 901 in the car or house, resolving the short USB cable ; The software is highly similar to my wife's new Nuvi 660,...

I like this GPS

 

I am using this receiver with Google Earth and a free program called Goops for off road location in my Jeep. It is gives accurate location, it should keep me from getting lost. I have used the supplied Garmin software with voice direction and found...

Great reception, it even picks up my location indoors. Compact case and light weight wire.

Could use a slightly longer wire.

Total waste of money

 

Will not work in our location, unable to lock-in any Satellite. Cheap looking and frail to serve any useful purpose in a mobile application. Buy.com will not refund money for garbage products they sell you.
