Inquiring on behalf of a friend. They want a waterproof GPS with FM
radio. And earphones
Where the instructions interrupt the radio..
He seems to think that the prices shoot up when they go waterproof.
Does anybody have any suggestions of make/model? (or issues)
I think he wants to put it in his trouser or inside jacket pocket too,
so it shouldn't be too big.

The way in-car and portable GPS receivers store records of their
owner's past movements is a boon for crimefighters, according to
London's Metropolitan Police.
In recent months the Met's detectives have used data recovered from
satnav systems of suspects to investigate kidnappings, child grooming,
murder and terrorism, forensic experts say.

Can you recommend a portable GPS auto navigation unit for me to purchase
online in America to be given as a gift to an Italian (carried in luggage)?
I've heard that some GPS units that have European maps, while they text in
meters and kilometers, still speak the units in "piedi" (i.e., feet) and
"miglio" (i.e., mile) instead of in kilometers.
Also, the power supply and charger would need to...

hello All,
I've been told (long time ago) that out of (and "far away from") the USA
it is *better* to turn WAAS OFF! that WAAS could actually give *less*
precision; is this correct?
I'm at -23,-46 (south america, brazil, sao paulo) and WAAS has been
working *great* here! at the top of my building my Vista HCx precision
is (almost always) 3m; if I turn WAAS ON precision drops to 2m!

Hi,
My previous system crashed. I am now trying to reinstall MapSource and CN V8. I have
half a dozen mapsource files, but all ask for a previous version. The first Garmin tech
was unable to help (waited 20 minutes) She transferred me to the software support and the
message indicated a wait of at least 30 minutes.
Does anyone know a way to skip all the obstacles?
Thanks,

would I be obliged to upgrade to a 930?

This has always bugged me a little and seeing as I'm here to ask
another question above U though I'd check on this as well:
My very first GPS was a Bluemedia BM6300. It was primitive by 2008
standards but it had an option to display height above sea level.
This is a feature seemingly missing from the Tomtom. Or is there a
config option I'm missing?

Loran is less vulnerable to jamming than GPS and could protect vital

e.x. when the l2c will be operational ready will the classic l2 signal
stop transmitting? In 2015 when the l5 will be active
what's the reason of having the new satellites transmitting old weak
signals? (except of backward compatibility with old receivers)

Problem is, I am totally dumb on how to do it. I am aware that i can buy

Last July, if you compared the orbit generated by a SEM and YUMA
almanac, you'd get orbits that were the same to under a meter. Now,
these orbits are different by dozens of meters. The new AEP process
has changed (read broken) how almanacs are created. The almanacs are
still within the gross positioning requirements though, so this issue
may never get fixed. See here for analysis:...
