GPS Cheap Online

I am looking at cars, and it seems like if you want a GPS navigation system it costs thousands more, but if you go to circuit city or somewhere where they sell those hand-help GPS navigation units like from Garmin etc. they cost only a couple hundred. Is there a difference between these two that I can't see which explains why the car navigation systems cost so much more?

The difference is alot more money..!! Get a decent portable, and you can take it with you when you go in another car...They work the same portable and installed...The big difference is if your installed gp system goes on the blink and they have to take it out and fix it...Your going to pay big time for taking it out fixing it and re-installing it....Go portable...less money all around and just as good !!

In other words, are there any GPS Navigation systems that don't just use the pre-entered maps? How does that work?

Same for my Garmin. Plug it in and download.

How can I get GPS navigation on my blackberry pearl?

I have a blackberry pearl 8100 and I was wondering how do I get GPS navigation added onto this. I have T-mobile, is this available?

Because your Blackberry Pearl 8100 does not have a built-in GPS, you will need to purchase an external [outside of your phone] bluetooth [the method of connecting to your phone] GPS receiver [unit which finds your location on the globe], such as Garmin's GPS 10x, or various models by Globalsat, Holux, GlobalTop, and many other manufacturers.

After you have a GPS receiver, you will need software that can both navigate and mapping data. Most carriers offer TeleAtlus, which feels a little cheap (IMO), but you can also use Garmin Mobile for Blackberry.

For more information on Garmin Mobile for Blackberry with GPS 10x, visit the following link: http://www.garmin.com/mobile/blackberry/
(It's nice to buy everything from one company, just in case you run into any problems)

I have a Dell Axim X3 and I want to use it as a GPS navigator. It has no bluetooth capabilities but ideally I would want to connect it to a bluetooth GPS receiver.

How do I install bluetooth capabilities into my Axim X3? Once I do that can I receive signals from the bluetooth GPS receiver?

How will I go about doing this ?

You will need to get a bluetooth sdio card. Bluetooth gps devices usually use a bluetooth virtual serial link.

Do i need the gps enabler for my c902 or will my gps bluetooth reciever work?

i have a brand new c902 and need to get some sat nav software and was wondering would my bluetooth gps reciever work with the google maps and was there any free sat nav software out there like nav 4 all . com.

Not sure about the bluetooth gps receiver but I have the HGE-100 on the c902 and the GPS works a treat. I mainly use the Tracker software when walking but I have tried the Wayfinder Active software too.

It even works to add a GPS tag to all photos taken (You can of course turn the option off)

I know this doesn't answer your original question but you can definitely use GPS on the C902

Will Garmin topo map software work with Magellan GPS units ?

admin — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 15:23:34 +0000

Looking to buy a handheld GPS unit for geocaching. Considering Magellan Titon 1500 and Garmin Colorado 400. Question - will the Garmin topo Canada software work with the Magellan GPS, or is the software somehow proprietary, such that it will ONLY work with Garmin ?

It's proprietary, go with the Colorado, I'm looking for a new unit right now for caching. Considering the GPSmap60 but more and more thinking I should just go for the colorado, but I already have two pda's that I could use to go paperless.

Can I update the maps in my Magellan GPS?

I recently purchased a Magellan Roadmate 1412 GPS. This is first GPS of this brand that I've gotten. Apparently the maps are stored on an SD card. Does Magellan provide updates for their GPSes? If so, does it usually mean buying a new SD card with updated maps on it?

When you get your gps usually you need to go to there website and see if theres any undates. Is according to what month the units was made and how long its been at the store. Just go to the Magellan website and see for an update and download it, and you will be fine.
