Other GPS brands

Can someone explain how the GPS feature works in cellphones?

Also how do you activate or de-activate it?

Thanks

So, many peoples with the amcor 3900 navigation system think it doesn't work, you have to keep you sd card in the slot just so it can read your maps, shopping center and etc. This is the answer to the amcor 3900 navigation system if you have erase your sd card there where a cd that came with this system you, have to download it to your pc and upload it to you navigation system i who this help

need to upgrade maps any idea's

Does anybody have one on here? How do you like it?

Anyone have this system? I'm looking at a new mustang and was wondering about the navigation to replace my Garmin but I wanted to know more about it. Can you download POI's to it, upload tracks from it, upgrade maps, etc. What part is subscription if any? I know the Sirius is subscription, but what about the maps, traffic, weather, etc. or is that all part of the Ford Sync?

Anyone have solid specs on GPS accuracy with iPhone and the iPad?

My Streetpilot 7200 died, and not being able to find a replacement(I don't like the Nuvi's) I thought I did my homework and bought a Rand McNally TND700. BIG mistake. So I bought a PC Miler Navigator 450 and so far it might do what I want, but I do miss the big screen. It is supposed to be able to do POI's in CSV format from "available all over the internet".

Anybody know when the 2011 maps come out for the Kenwood/Garmin units? My unit requires the CD.

Along with the Nuvi 465T, I'm looked at PC Miller and Rand McNalley TND products. Do all these products have the same POI download capibilities on POI Factory.

Is it possible to add Custom POI files like Red Light Cameras in 2011 Hyundai Sonata OEM Factory Installed GPS unit ?
thanks

I was looking online tonight and I ran across this Nextar GPS with a built in TV tuner. (It reminds me of the Garmin Nüvi 900T available exclusively in Italy with DVB-H mobile TV. https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=14807 ) Anyway, I don't recall reading that Nextar has ever been a highly regarded brand in the GPS community.

Just got a new 2011 Nissan with a built in GPS, Nissan brand? Any Idea who makes this, can I add POI's, it does have an SD card with the data base, still keep the garmin 265WT, you can operate it while moving, and it doesn't drown out the music.

Has anyone seen or used the Escort IQ? If so please share your observations. Thank you.

All,

My local sales nerd says that there will be a Samsung net book in Flagstaff on the 11th. No phone, but Android operating system with GPS and accelerometer. If so the LG Ally goes back to Sam's Club and I get one for just $149 and a new contract.

I was playing with an iPad recently (non-3G). The GPS seems to be tied to the WiFi signal. It seems too accurate for IP Geolocation, and I was wondering if anyone knew how it actually works. I don't think it has an actual GPS chip in it.

Saw this GPS for cheap wondering how Mio's map updates are? I used a Mio years ago and while it worked well I was not impressed with there lack of updates to the device.

After reading an active thread comparing built-in GPS's to portable units, I find myself wondering if it is possible to update the maps in my car some way other than the Porsche dealer, whose price is probably obscene.

Something I once read said that it possible using the USB port in the car, but I have no idea where to buy the needed file(s). The car is a 2009 911.

Thanks.

For users of MS S&T with a GPS antenna attached to a Netbook are POI files available for download and use with MS S&T application/product?
