gps navigation system

I work as a college admission counselor, and travel to community colleges twice a week. I would like to get a GPS navigation system, as I've discovered that I lack an inner compass and frequently get lost (my atlas has been helpful, but it is dangerous to consult it while driving). I would think that 90% or more of my usuage of this product would be business related, but I don't know if I would be able to write this off since I'm not self-employed. Any thoughts?

if you're not self employed - doubtful you can expense it - just chalk it up to it helping you be more efficient in your job

I just ordered a cobra gps navigation system and i was just woundering if any one has used one of these. I have been looking for a long time and I got a good deal on this one, and I am just woundering if I got got to good of a deal. Any help will be very thankful

Kinda curious what you call a good deal. Cobra has been around for a long time, mostly in the CB business. They don't manufacture any products them selves though, but their engineering is tops. Most of their better CB's were manufactured by Uniden corp. which is no dog out fit in their own right. Their radar system (commercial) for trains and emergency vehicles (police etc.) is well respected in the industry. I am an authorized service center for Cobra communication equipment but do not deal with their GPS-yet.
I am in motorcycle sound equipment and we do install GPS but not the Cobra brand at this time.

I have the Mio C230 GPS navigation system for my car. How do I update it? I bought it last winter (2007). It came with a software disc, but it only contains information about the device and to restore it.

According to Mio, there is no update available.
Unless you are running into areas where the streets are really new, you probably don't need to update more than every few years.

" The currently available map updates are available on DVD for the following models: C310x, C320, C520. Please go to our eStore at http://estore.mio.com to purchase one of these map updates. We are working on making more map updates available for C-series devices. Please check back later.

My husband purchased this GPS for me and he doesn't really know what he bought, he just figured it would be a good one. Is there a difference between a GPS Receiver and a regular Auto GPS Navigation system and is it a good one?

I have a Nuvi 350. Though discontinued, It's a lovely GPS for what it is.

"Auto GPS Navigation System" typically (though not always) refers to an in-dash unit.

Between the absurd price, the quality of the maps, the price and availability of map upgrades, and the inabilty to take it with me when I travel in a rental car, I recommend the handheld or dashtop products like a Nuvi over an in-dash.
