How To Choose GPS Navigation For Your Car

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

On the market a dozen offers gps navigation and make the people headache how to choose their car gps. Read this tips!

  • Check the local laws. Check the laws in your area and the mount types available before you buy. Most manufacturers include a plastic disk that sticks to the dashboard to provide an alternative mounting location.
  • What type of driving do you do? If you spend most of your time commuting along the same route or running local errands on familiar roads, you might not benefit from route guidance, unless you face traffic congestion. Even in familiar areas, a GPS can help you get around it by showing surrounding roads and plotting an alternative route.
  • Built-in battery convenience Almost all new portables now come with a rechargeable battery. If you want to use it for walking or use the multimedia features outside of a car, look for one that will operate for at least three hours on a charge.
  • What about extra features? A full-featured aftermarket GPS can effectively upgrade an older car with features like a trip computer, Bluetooth hands-free telephone capability, an MP3 player, an iPod connection, and a FM transmitter. If available, live traffic information, weather, and local gas prices can offer an increased measure of safety and convenience.
  • Size matters If you choose a portable unit, size is important–especially if you frequently pack it in a suitcase. Some models are no bigger than a wallet and weigh less than 7 ounces, while others are as large as a paperback book and can weigh two pounds or more. Also, look for a screen that’s large enough to read easily without blocking your view.

Happy GPS & Bye!

EasyGPS Free Software For Your GPS

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

It works with numerous models of Garmin, Magellan and Lowrance GPS receivers. It doesn’t work with TomTom, nor does it work with the GPS receivers embedded in many popular mobile phones.

EasyGPS works fine with the tested Garmin Nuvi 200 standalone GPS; all I had to do was enter the model and plug it in to a USB port, and sending and receiving waypoints was simple. EasyGPS can also come in handy for geocaching, which is the sport of hiding a cache of objects at a specific latitude & longitude and having other enthusiasts go find them. EasyGPS includes a couple of geocaching functions, but publisher TopoGrafix also promotes its GeoBuddy software for more specific geocaching uses, which has a GUI similar to EasyGPS.

Hikers and other on-foot travelers will love planning out their routes with EasyGPS, but it’s also useful (and free) for those of us who use GPS to drive from one place to another.

EasyGPS is the fast and easy way to transfer waypoints, routes, and tracks between your computer and your Garmin, Magellan, or Lowrance GPS. EasyGPS lists all of your waypoints on the left side of the screen, and shows a plot of your GPS data on the right. Use EasyGPS to back up and organize your GPS data, print maps, or load new waypoints onto your GPS for your next hike or geocaching adventure.
