gps car

I want to find a good GPS tracking system for my car. It has to be lightweight and easily hid. Also something that isn't extremely expensive.
I'm not looking for a navigational system. I am looking for a device that I can track my car with from home when someone else is driving my car.

A GOOD vehicle tracker is not going to be cheap since it really is important to make sure the product you are buying is functional when you need it.
With that said, you can try renting a GPS tracking system from GPS4Rent at http://www.gps4rent.com/ and select the tracking system you wish to rent.
If you only need it for a weekend or a week, it would be cheaper to rent it since tracking system that you can track real time requires a subscription service much like the cell phone and it may not be worth it if for you to commit to a contract if you are not sure you really need it for a year or two.
You can view this tracking system product at Auto Nav 2000 Plus, Inc website http://www.autonav2000.com/mall/anProdLi st2.asp?GroupID=194

Hope this helps.

Check out this pre-release in-car / on-road review of the Magellan Premium Car Kit for iPhone 3G/3GS or iPod Touch 2G#39;s. This kit is scheduled ...

I have recently bought a satnav/GPS and found that the speed recorded on the machine differs from my cars speedometer. Which one is more accurate? Is this normal?

The GPS.

I have 3 gps and I compared them all. The GPS are all within 1 mph (or less) within each other.

I did some research and it turns out that ALL cars have some error to keep you from getting a ticket because you thought you were doing 65 and you were really doing 70. So it is always shows few MPH higher to slow you down.


good luck...

Hello;

I really would like to understand the difference between Car GPS and Trecking GPS. Are they similar?

I mean here from the point of syncing with satellites. I saw some trecking GPS that sync with 12 ( 12 channels). Does that mean that they are more sensitive than Car GPS?

Is it possible to use car GPS for trecking :-)

Or are there GPS that can be used for both applications at the same time, and may be also for sailing, let's say :-)

If they are identical hardware-wise, does that mean one can use maps files for cars on a trecking GPS, or vice-versa?

Thank you in advance.

I think the main difference is the power source and the software that is loaded. Car systems will be set up to use 12VDC, and typically be hard-mounted into the car. Trekking (portable) models will be battery operated, so voltage would be anywhere from 3-9VDC. Since a person will have to carry it, the portable GPS will typically be smaller and lighter.

Regarding software, Car units will be more likely to have better information on roads, addresses, attractions etc while the hiking model will feature land features etc.

All the GPS units I have seen use as many satellites as possible. It needs at least 3 to pinpoint where you are, the more satellites it 'sees', the more accurate it will be.

You can you a car GPS for hiking, but you will need to bring a 12VDC power supply... and car batteries are pretty heavy ; )

A better application would be to get a portable model and use that in your car, however I don't think the hiking models typically give you turn by turn instructions.

Hope that helps.

I'm planning to do a road trip across the US and plan to buy a top-of-the-line GPS unit. I would like something with touch screen, speech capabilities, traffic information, MP3 and bluetooth capability, etc. I will primarily use this for my car but I do have a motorcycle too. But I'd rather have a better car GPS than one that is car+motorcycle friendly if I had to choose between the two. Two models I am looking at are the Garmin StreetPilot 2820 and the Garmin Zumo 550. I'm leaning toward the Zumo 550 as it seems to be better than the StreetPilot 2820 in almost every way. Can anyone out there shed some light on why I would opt for the StreetPilot 2820 instead of the Zumo 550 or why I should go with a different brand/model? I'm a first-time car GPS buyer and have seen neither Garmin product in person. (All of the stores around here carry only the lower end models.) Thanks!
