GPS JUNKY

Californiamama asked:


Granted, any operation like mining must turn a profit. The Utah mine rescuers are now digging a 3rd shaft just trying to locate the trapped men. It seems to me that the initial cost of the GPS chips would be recovered in lives saved, and good will toward mines in general. Not to mention the huge expense in what may be just a body recovery. Do any mines use GPS? If not, why?

Just bought a used 2001 Lexus SUV in Mint condition. The GPS Navigation system works but needs to be updated or brought up to date. How much should it cost to do this and is it something that needs to be done every year? Thank you for your help.

I have one cigarette lighter in my car, and both my GPS and cell phone need to be plugged into a charger at all times. Is there any way to do this?
My car is a 1995 Ford Taurus, with one power outlet.

Do I need to buy a newer car? Do newer cars have more than one power outlet?

I have never bought a GPS before. I want to spend less than $200. I want to use it for GeoCaching and also for assistance with complicated driving routes.

Please tell me what features are important and any suggestions you have. Thanks.

I’m looking into getting my sister a GPS. I don’t need top of the line. Maybe something under $200.00, I’ve been looking on Fry’s to find a good deal.

I just bought a Boost Mobile i415 with built-in GPS.

Is there any way I can boost the GPS signal?

I know that they have things you can use to boost CELL PHONE signals - would that boost my GPS as well?

Is there an advantage, other than probably cost, to having the GPS satellites at 12,000 miles rather than in geostationary orbit? Would it work either way?

If I need to make a portable device which you can carry around with you to give the exact location, altitude, climb and descent.

What electronic chips hardware will i need to make a portable GPS system?

Is there a need to make a payment to some company to use GPS?
