So I have a Streetpilot c330. For some reason it just froze, and now I can’t use it. The touchscreen doesn’t move when I press on it, and I can’t even turn it off. If I hold on the on/off button even for a minute, the GPS does NOT turn off.

What is the difference between CAR and trecking GPS?

Hello;

I really would like to understand the difference between Car GPS and Trecking GPS. Are they similar?

I mean here from the point of syncing with satellites. I saw some trecking GPS that sync with 12 ( 12 channels). Does that mean that they are more sensitive than Car GPS?

Is it possible to use car GPS for trecking :-)
Or are there GPS that can be used for both applications at the same time, and may be also for sailing, let’s say :-)
If they are identical hardware-wise, does that mean one can use maps files for cars on a trecking GPS, or vice-versa?

Thank you in advance.

A Garmin Nuvi 265WT won’t do it. If fact Garmin told me that NONE of there systems will. What I mean is that in order to see the POI “icons” on the map (like the little gas pump for gas stations), you must tap the screen and go to 300ft, but then the screen’s map is “Frozen” and your car icon will drive right off the screen, and the screen will stay there until you hit the back button, which returns it to No Icons (other than the ones in your favorites). I Want to see all the icons on a moving map. I have experience with factory NAV systems (such as Audi A8) and these systems do this. You can choose the type of POI’s you do and don’t want to see and they will be all over the map as you drive. All the Gas stations, Restaurants, ATM’s, Library’s, Museums, etc. Does Tomtom or Magellan or any others allow this?? Thanks, Landon

I just bought a garmin nuvi 660 and it is not finding alot of new streets in my town. What do I do? I don’t think I should have to spend 75 to 100 bucks for a new map when I just spent over 300 on this unit!
I did buy it brand new

I don’t need to play mp3 files with it. Traffic conditions might be helpful. Reliability and ease of use, and one that speaks directions out loud, are important. I can spend up to $800 but don’t want something that expensive if something cheaper will do what I need. I want to attach it to windshield, easily removable. I also need something I can readily buy at a store in Denver, since we leave on a 2,000 drive cross country Thursday morning.
