    Who has GPS in their car/truck?

    Been playing around with the one from Hertz, it's pretty cool, but the machines themselves are about $1400 each, but is their a monthly fee after to stay on the GPS system or is it a one time thing?

    I have seen that Hertz offers free GPS upgrades but I haven't tried it yet.

    I am kinda old school though and usually get by quite nicely with this...

      GPS is free. It uses government owned satellites
      Ive had them in all of my cars for the last 3 or so years

            I only use one on our boat. there are chips for different areas. When we moved our boat from maryland to NJ the new chip we bought cost about $250 bucks.
            if u have ever read a nautical map it is a pleasure to have a gps system!
            SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                  Garmin has one that I can plug into a laptop, so I can swap it out from cars,
                  What models do you guys have? Should I go with a big one that stays in the car or a handheld model?

                        I'll be helping a buddy install a computer and GPS unit with touch screen in his car probably sometime in July. Total cost for everything (screen included) will only be like $800 US. Not too shabby really.

                          You can't afford to go to a show that's 3 hours away from you, but you can buy a GPS? You are a true bozo.

                                I have 2 of these



                                Garmin Street Navigator, they run about 750 or so.

                                It reroutes faster then the one I had in my Mercedes.
                                It's full color and talks.

                                  I've had GPS in all of my cars... OEM and after market. The OEM is much better (at least from Lexus) so if they make if for your car, get it from the dealer. It's worth the extra money. At the very least, make sure it's touchscreen. Voice and remote controlled are very cumbersome. What make of vehicle?

                                    Don't you need to own a car to put a GPS in one?

                                                            Garmin Street Navigator, they run about 750 or so.

                                                            It reroutes faster then the one I had in my Mercedes.
                                                            It's full color and talks.

                                                            Read great reviews on this/...

                                                              if you have a laptop you can buy a usb GPS deal for around $80 and use it with mappoint..
                                                              In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.
