GPS!


Recommended Posts

What GPS device do you have? Is it a GPS locator you have to connect to a portable computer or a device by itself?

And, how has the GPS device HELPED you in your life? Have you ever almost gotten lost, and GPS find your way?

I got Streets & Trips 2005 W/ GPS Locator last week for $80 :D I hope that's the LOWEST price for a long time!

I have Garmin iQue 3600. GPS is very important for me when I have to go out and drive. Whenever my car low on GAS, I know exactly where to find the GAS station nearby, when I need cash I know where to find an ATM, when I struck in the traffic jam I'm not afraid to drive into the small road which can bypass those traffic. I never worry about I'm getting lost even I just drove in an unknown town which I have never been before.... It give me the totally confident when I'm on the road. :p

I have a GPS attached to my iPaq. It's a navman 3450 and my iPaq is a 3950. I use it primarily for flying... The plane I use already has a Garmin GPS installed... so I use it mainly for following of my flight plan. The Garmin is used for the real navigation. I love it... get in the plane, turn it on before pre-flight... and a minute or so later I have a signal. The Garmin sometimes is slower than my iPaq! Software wise I use TomTom 2 for when I'm on the road... in the skies I use Jeppsen. Though.... I have to admit the Garmin is sexier:

    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
    • It had gone weeks ago. Although thinking about it I'm on the beta.
    • They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
