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:

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
