Thanks Mike. I've been looking at those, and the Magellan 750nav. I was
hoping to find some with a larger display that's easier to read while driving.
My wife just got a Lexus SC430 and it has a huge display for GPS.......very
easy to read. My intent is to use this while driving to a fire with lights on,
etc., and therefore it has to be easy to read. I was also hoping to find some
more reasonabl;e costs. The Magellan is around $2000. Expensive little toy
huh!?! <laugh>

¤| Hi MNL, I think the maping programs will provide that information
¤| via CD/DVD on the new in car display units.
¤|
¤|
¤| http://www.garmin.com/products/gps5/ The GPS V is one versatile
¤| navigator that delivers automatic routing, detailed mapping and
¤| WAAS capability =97 all in a compact handheld GPS. It comes with
¤| the MapSource City Select CD, which gives you access to detailed
¤| street-level maps with locations of restaurants, hotels and other
¤| services.
¤| Use the GPS V to look up a location and it will automatically
¤| calculate a route and guide you to your destination with turn-by-
¤| turn directions and audible beeps that alert you to upcoming
¤| turns. You can even switch the display from horizontal, for
¤| mounting on a bike or a vehicle dash, to vertical for handheld
¤| use.
¤| ++ There is more on the web site.
¤| ~~~
¤|
¤| http://www.garmin.com/whatsNew/adventures.html When you sell as
¤| many GPS units as we do, you may begin to figure you've heard it
¤| all. Still, we're constantly amazed at the positive feedback we
¤| get from people who use GARMIN GPS for just about anything you
¤| can imagine.
¤| Their adventures range from meeting personal challenges to
¤| surviving life-threatening situations to saving lives. We hope
¤| you'll enjoy their truly amazing stories of survival, rescue, and
¤| human/wildlife interest using GARMIN GPS. ++ ~~~

¤| Terry,

¤| Thanks for the post. I was intrigued as I'm looking for a GPS
¤| system for my car. I have a special "mission" in that I want to
¤| use it to find locations in a 27 sq mile area for fire department
¤| response.
¤| There are times when I have to respond from my home, or from
¤| local locations and I admit I don't know all the many streets in
¤| my community (and there's lots of streets in the 27 sq mi).
¤| While I didn't find actual GPS systems there, I found many
¤| interesting sites listed and saved several. Great post for a
¤| rainy afternoon netsurf session.

¤| -=3DPCTechTalk=3D- OT: Lat / Long calculator?
¤| =A4| =A4| =A4| =A4| =A4| =A4| =A4| =A0n anyone help please? We
¤| had some small bouts of cemetery =A4| =A0vandalism at mily
¤| cemeteries on farms. (Halloween?) I have taken =A4| =A0pictures
¤| of the ones so they can be put back, but I recently =A4|
¤| =A0bought a GPS device and took cations of the graves.
¤| =A4| =A4| =A4| =A0, does anyone know of a program where I can
¤| enter two points, and =A4| =A0it will ve me direction and
¤| distance to walk? I.e., I enter the =A4| =A0coordinates for int
¤| A, and wonder which direction to go for Point =A4| =A0B, so I
¤| enter that int and it will give me something like: =A4| =A4| =A0,
¤| 4,239 feet. =A0So I get 45 degrees (clockwise) from North (about
¤| =A4| =A0rtheast), and walk 4,239 feet and take a GPS reading
¤| again.
¤| =A4| =A0It would be nderful if such a program would work on a
¤| PDA. If it =A4| =A0worked on a PDA and was off, I would have to
¤| take a reading and =A4| =A0calculate how far and rection to walk
¤| again.
¤| =A4| =A4| =A4| =A0hope I am making sense. I really am a rookie
¤| when it comes to Lat =A4| =A0and ng coordinates. Thank you,
¤| everyone.
¤| =A4| =A4| =A4| =A0is is not a computer inquiry. Please feel free
¤| to email me off =A4| =A0list. I uld appreciate a subject saying
¤| "Latlong" or =A4| =A0"Coordinates>' =A4| =A4| =A0ank you,
¤| everyone.
