[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 155568, member: 1944"] A little off subject but.....I have an older GPS, it doesnt have strreets maps, in it but I believe it can be updated..I know the ones now come with software and you can update the streets etc. It uses govt satellites, I use it for geocaching. (I believe there is a cost for updates, but not a monthly fee.) If you dont know what that is, its a great hobby. [url=http://www.geocaching.com]Geocaching - The Official Global GPS Cache Hunt Site[/url] Its great fun for all ages. It tells me that it is accurate to 20 ft, but mine zooms in every time within a foot. Its great for hunters, or fisherpeople who want to be able to find the exact spot to come back to, or to get you back from whence you left if you get caught in fog, or a storm. It has a feature on it that will measure your car speed, or boat or bike. Mine has a short lag at times if Im in cover. I have a Garmin Geko, but the explorist by magellan, is really hot right now. Good luck, go caching!! [/QUOTE]
