GPS JUNKY

Mocha Grande Filipino asked:


I have a Garmin Nuvi 350 portable GPS device and its a very nice gps however i noticed that sometimes it will say the name of the street to turn on but sometimes it will say county route 908 or whatever the county route is instead of the street name. Why is that?

I’m researching GPS units to go into emergency vehicles that serve very rural areas. Experience with other units, they always seem to be missing some of the small “back roads”. Is there a unit out there that you can add these missing roads in own your own?

The tom tom website has custom maps for many places, but does not have for japan. Is there anywhere else I can get these maps (besides google, because they list the destination names only in Japanese writing) to download for my GPS. Thanks very much!

i’m planning to buy a blackberry that have gps features. i need something that doesn’t require me to download maps, i mean it can receive signal straight from satellites like any other gps receiver.

i’m currently using nokia n95. the gps feature requires me to buy maps from nokia which i found a bit waste of money.

so, what’s the difference? can you recommend me blackberry models with the gps feature & wi fi?

I want a phone with excellent audio quality and includes GPS navigation and a decent camera, maybe 3.2 MP or higher.
I have the Nokia 5800 XM, and I’m pretty pleased with it, but I’m looking for something that has a better audio quality.

Thanks in advance

ATT’s new phones have GPS support designed to interact with the proprietary TeleNav Navigator software. This software comes with a 9.99/month pricetag for it’s up-to-the-minute information on the fly. I want to know if there’s shelf GPS software that can read the Long/Lat and use built-in POS and map software.

If it is, is my only option a dashboard mount to my GPS device?

Carter asked:


For example, compared to the Garmin Nuvi series, or something similar. Is it like comparing apples to oranges?

Can some phones be used as car navigation? How good are they at pedestrian navigation?

I’m considering buying a GPS, probably a Garmin Nuvi 750, but if my next cell phone might fulfill the same duties, maybe I won’t.

Thanks for any information or advice!
