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.

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 When I got my 730 I immediately set of to collect a friend at a Wilsons of Rathkenny a garage at a crossroads near Ballymena and about 40 miles from home. It seemed to have the garage in memory but took me to crossroads about 8 miles away from it.

"Ever since the SiRFstarIII chipset set the bar for high sensitivity GPS receivers in early 2005, the competition had only been able to equal its -159dBM sensitivity, but the new MTK vII (MTK 3329) chipset is rated at -165dBm. While 6dBm may not seem a lot, it actually computes to an x4 boost in sensitivity! Hard to imagine what that translates to in the field, but we should soon find out since...

Can anyone tell me if the Garmin Nuvi 860 is actually available in this country? The Garmin UK website does not list it, although the US one does.

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, Choco

I bought a 720 in February as a first Satnav and have used it in the UK and France very successfully. I was wondering if it would support a downloaded map of New England from TomTom Home as I have to go to the US in a few months and will be driving around Long Island, and NY City or would I be obliged to upgrade to a 930? -- Terry Halligan

I just saw a segment on the Science Channel by Beyond Tomorrow about Kinetic GPS. They claim 1000 times speed and sensitivity. Doing a Google search didn't bring up much on kinetic gps. Anyone got more info on this? NM

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? MTIA.

I only bought my 920 back in December. A bit early to splurge again on the 930. Will the V8 software released for the 930 work with the 920? MTIA?

Is there any software that can convert DXF files to map files - specifically memory Map (.qct) but GPX, XML, CSV or any other format might be useful. Thanks

The government is being urged to invest in a radio system developed during the Second World War, as a back-up to GPS satellite navigation.

Hello to the group, 1. I am wondering whether the new gps signals will replace the oldies. 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) 2. what's the critical number of l2c transmiting...

Help I just bought a Lowrance Globalmap 3500C. the navigation charts for boating is worthless for my purposes.

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:...
