I am going to buy a GPS Satellite Navigation system but am confused as to which one is the best. I have heard MIO, Tomtom and navman are pretty good but which brand is the best and most reliable. I am moving to the coast soon and think that life up there would be a whole heap easier with one in my car. But it has to have a long battery life and be capable of navigating thourgh rural australia. Can someone help me??? It has to be sturdy as i have cousins that will probaly play with it! lol kids!!! and totally reliable as i have no sence of direction!! lol

I am looking for a gps system that is easy to use, has good satellite connection, and is a accurate at giving the directions. It also must have a clear good screen so that i may read it in the daylight and a good volume level. Any ideas? Thank you!!

Do GPS companies charge a monthly subscription fee to use or activate their products- in the same manner XM Satellite Radio charges a monthly fee to listen to it?
What other expenses do you have to pay for a GPS System besides buying the equipment?

No - the GPS network is provided by the US Air Force; if you're in the US you're already paying for it with your taxes.

In addition to the receiver, you can pay extra for a mounting kit, batteries, power adapter or hardwire power supply. Also if you want to buy a new map set that will cost extra.

I have a hiker's GPS (Garmin) which doesn't work when in forests or under cloud, presumably because it can't see its satellites. Why do Satellite Navigation Systems as used in cars work when it's cloudy? Do they not need to see their satellites?

it uses a different wavelength from a satellite which is in a closer orbit to the earth, meaning the signal can penetrate through clouds. Think about this, AM radio is broadcast from one location in the country, and you can pick it up almost anywhere. This is because it has a longer wavelength and is able to "bend" around objects such as hills etc. Then think about FM radio, which has repeaters at slightly different frequencies every 30 miles or so. This is because it uses a shorter wavelength, which can't bend around objects. However you are able to receive a better quality signal. Mobile phones even shorter, masts are ever 3 miles or so. If memory serves me correctly sat navs use a short wavelength with a high intensity meaning they are able to penetrate the majority of weather conditions, where as your hikers GPS probably uses a longer one meaning it has difficulty.

Hope this goes someway to answering your question.
