Re: Car GPS Systems

i also got tired of map quest, although i do carry a road atlas with me i bought a USB gps for my laptop. I got the Delorme earthmate and i like it just fine, although had i done it again i would buy the Microsoft package as streets and trips is more powerful then delorme's software.

My ultimate goal is to buy a touch screen for my car ~300 on ebay so i can use it for other stuff also but for now it works just fine.

btw it cost 150 for the receiver and the software


anyway you go make sure you are paying attention to the road when you drive even experienced drivers have problems with this and adding a device to your car can be a distraction.
