What kind of GPS system is the most accurate and easy to use?

I am planning a course trip and I am horrible w/ directions. I am insomuch as buying a GPS system for my car since we are driving from Wisconsin to New York Municipality. Any suggestions?


If you only extremity it short term, you have a number of options. Do you have a bedfellow you could borrow one from? Consider renting a car and getting the right-hand man thing with it.

But, consider this: you may already have almost everything you need. Many stall phones are satellite friendly. Most directions sites (I use mapquest.com) have an commitment you can download to your phone, and then 'send' your phone the directions from mapquest. Voila! It now has the wherewithal to adjust for you on the fly. Goto your directional website of choosing and see what hardware they support. (If they don't take your model of phone, try another site)

A acclimated traveler with a decent directional capacity, I get my directions from the site, and used to stamp them. Now, I just save the web page to my laptop (in the main the printer friendly version) and have it clear on the seat next to me.

Drive safe!

What is the difference between a GPS system and a digi-walker?
Going home.....

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


Hi Lojo,

A digiwalker is valid a glorified pedometer that has a GPS built in.

You can get a more worldly-wise GPS that works in your car and then as you leave your car you "brand" your location. You can also use it to find a location as you amble. Then when you are ready to return to your cay it will guide you exactly there.

Go here for a couple ideas - http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/103-9437352-1756622?url=search-alias%3Daps&mead-keywords=walking+gps

Does a GPS system have a monthly fee or is it just a one time fee?

Those GPS systems that charge you when to turn and stuff, do you just pay the brace hundred for the system and that's it, or do you have to pay money per month for the moon service? If you do, how much is it? Thanks!


The vital service that gives you the turn-by-pitch in direction is free.

There are optional things that you have to pay for: Above service that alerts you of construction and accidents, and sometimes provides live through info also - that's usually $50-70 per year (sometimes you have to buy an additional receiver that does not finish in the money b be with the GPS).

You can also buy map updates when the map data installed in your GPS is out of fashion. A map package for the US goes for around $70.

GPS equipment bought to track school transportation employees Atlanta Journal Constitution

Train officials said the purchase was made to meet re-accreditation requirements of the Southern Pairing of Colleges and Schools after an internal audit found conceivable overtime overages in the transportation department. The units were purchased from Indoctrination Logistics System, Edulog, to increase accountability.

“What the system has done is earmark us to greatly reduce the cost of operating our buses,” said Charles Caucasoid, spokesman for Clayton Schools. “We have saved $1 million in nourishment [costs] since we have instituted the system. We have also saved money in hand overtime.”

White said a minor more than $361,200 was spent to install the EduTracker GPS system in 500 kind buses and $41,000 was spent to install the element in 80 maintenance vehicles.

Some teachers have expressed apply to over the expenditure in a tight budget year. Clayton Schools faces a more than $30 million budget default that could lead to a reduction in staff in 2010-11.

The EduTracker component, which is mounted in cellphones in buses, is not a typical GPS.

“It is not your historic Garmin device; they are not seeing turn by drift directions,” said Jason Corbally, superintendent director of the Montana-based Edulog resolute. “The school system will be able to see where all of the buses are if there is any ilk of emergency, like a child is missing. The GPS is accomplished to tell what time a bus actually gets to a a halt so [they] know if buses got there late or on time. It will developing the level of customer service.”

The item also allows drivers to check into work and dial out when they make without having to go to an office.

“Clayton County and other systems in the territory had overages problems because driver payroll is one of the more troubling things to manage, especially when you have 500 people coming in at once,” Corbally said. “We are expert to make sure you don’t have drivers that log in 45 minutes before their routes.”
