What kind of GPS system is the most accurate and easy to use?

I am planning a road trip and I am horrible w/ directions. I am considering buying a GPS system for my car since we are driving from Wisconsin to New York City. Any suggestions?


If you only need it short term, you have a number of options. Do you have a friend you could borrow one from? Consider renting a car and getting the satellite thing with it.

But, consider this: you may already have almost everything you need. Many cell phones are satellite friendly. Most directions sites (I use mapquest.com) have an application you can download to your phone, and then 'send' your phone the directions from mapquest. Voila! It now has the capability to adjust for you on the fly. Goto your directional website of choice and see what hardware they support. (If they don't support your model of phone, try another site)

A seasoned traveler with a decent directional ability, I get my directions from the site, and used to print them. Now, I just save the web page to my laptop (usually the printer friendly version) and have it open on the seat next to me.

Drive safe!

What is the difference between a GPS system and a digi-walker?
P3141702 - Magnetic-base GPS antennas from an Ebay seller  with one removed from it's casing

Is there a GPS system that I can put in my car but that also can be taken out and used when walking in an unfamiliar area or do they all do this? Is a digi-walker different from a GPS system? Is there a product that can serve both functions?


Hi Lojo,

A digiwalker is just a glorified pedometer that has a GPS built in.

You can get a more sophisticated GPS that works in your car and then as you leave your car you "mark" your location. You can also use it to find a location as you walk. Then when you are ready to return to your cay it will guide you directly there.

Go here for a couple ideas - http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/103 -9437352-1756622?url=search-alias%3Daps& amp;field-keywords=walking+gps

Does a GPS system have a monthly fee or is it just a one time fee?
P1011545 - Panasonic 'Toughbook' CF28 factory GPS board and extra RAM module fitted

Those GPS systems that tell you when to turn and stuff, do you just pay the couple hundred for the system and that's it, or do you have to pay money per month for the satellite service? If you do, how much is it? Thanks!


The basic service that gives you the turn-by-turn direction is free.

There are optional things that you have to pay for: Traffic service that alerts you of construction and accidents, and sometimes provides weather info also - that's usually $50-70 per year (sometimes you have to buy an additional receiver that does not come with the GPS).

You can also buy map updates when the map data installed in your GPS is obsolete. A map package for the US goes for around $70.
