Gps System

That sounds good....

BO

 

My brother has just started driving, and these obscure locations are killing him, he wants to buy a laptop and software....i need help to keep him on the road and making money....what software????

 

my brother wants to purchase laptop and GPS to get to those obscure locations, please advise before i buy something he won't be able to use!

 

I've used microsoft streets and maps. Not to bad. Except every now and then ou'll get a street not found, especialy if it's out in the boonies. And they are GPS compatable.

 

hey i just want to mention that i have verizon cell phone and it has gps service. for like $10/month or so, it will display your location on a map and tell you where to turn to get to a destination.

 

Unless he is for some reason really wanting to go with a laptop, a Garmin 330 (I think there is a 340 and 360 which are slightly better) is much cheaper and easier to use. I have one and it tells you everything you want to know.

 

I agree with previous statement. I use Garmin GPSmap 276C for couple years. Originally I got it to use on water sailing Great Lakes, but in winter I use in on land. Works great, on the road no need for the laptop.

 

I use a laptop with Delorme Street Atlas. There is no address in America that I can't find. After I have been there once, I enter the information (detailed!) into a database.
My database is becoming priceless.

 

I didn't buy the trucking siftware that is available. Too expensive. I bought Delorme Street Atlas for about 40$. I always check with my Commercial Atlas for restricted routes.......it's never been a problem. A little common sense goes a long way.
I like Delorme because of the landmarks...all WalMarts, McDonalds, etc are on there and I use them to find my accounts.

 

Can the laptop and just purchase the GPS. Garmin's 2610 is a good one. It's upgradeable, and you can usually purchase a used one on Ebay for about $150.
