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:

    • My son is in Monaco right now, and I was checking his location in Apple's Find My app. I noticed that Prince Albert's Palace was blurred out on the satellite imagery in both Find My and Apple Maps. I checked Google Maps, and the palace wasn't blurred there. Does Apple have some kind of process where property owners can request that their homes be blurred on Apple Maps?  
    • No, it was THAT ugly and I’d rather forget it completely existed.
    • There is a lot of reasons not to use Edge but faster fixes and security updates is not one of them.
    • Can't reproduce. I installed Edge, went to neowin.net > accepted the cookie consent > used menu to go to forums, everything loads and I can browse around the forums. If you can't interact with the dialog on the forums for some reason, go to the main site and accept the cookie consent there? It is true that the site will not function properly until the cookie consent is accepted or rejected,. it's a legal requirement and I also know that certain VPN/ad blockers block it, which is a user related issue and not a neowin.net problem.   This is not our cookie consent dialog. Gotta love browser hijacking... /s Edit: this may be what Californians see, I will confirm with our consent provider.
