I tested a couple of portable GPS devices against the odometer of my Highlander hybrid and found about 3 to 5 miles difference while driving on the freeway. City driving showed less difference, however. GPS showed less distance traveled. Has Toyota or other manufacturers made any comments bout this or are this unique to my vehicle.
The implication over an extended period is faster use of warranty mileage and also depreciation of vehicle based on use.

I am looking for a handheld GPS unit that I can do three things with 1) go exploring in the woods 2) Get into Geocaching 3) take a trip to Europe or other places that I’ve never been and be able to find my way home.

I bought the Garmin GPSmap 60csx a couple months ago. When I bought it it said it could have maps put on it. THat was WHY I BOUGHT IT >:( So I bought the topo program for my state. Then I called to get topo pocket on my gps but they said NO MAPS WILL GO ON A GARMIN!!!! I am so upset. I didnt pay 400 bucks for nothing. I go in the mountains all the time and need to know where Im at and where the next hill is especially in the wilderness. So I’m stuck here with this stupid garmin that cant have maps ever? WHat a dissapointment.

I stuck Garmin adhesive disk for handheld GPS onto my car’s windshield without seeing Garmin’s note that it is "permanent"!

I’m planning to sell my car and the buyer wants none of it!

What is the safest (/simplest) way to remove this dashboard adhesive disk?

Thanks!

Nokia has again set a standard for phones. This GPS demo is very cool….

I currently have a Magellen Roadmate 2200 and am thinking of getting a second GPS. I know I can "force" this GPS into doing what I want by entering intersections along the route but I would rather just hit "start", drive my route, and hit "stop". Sometimes I want to take a different route than what the GPS tells me to or I want to have a planned backup route that is different from the main route that the GPS gives.
