Traveling with your laptop on business or vacation? Garmin's GPS 18 global-positioning sensor is a simple, convenient, and inexpensive way to turn your PC laptop into a personal navigator. The GPS sensor is bundled with nRoute and City Select navigation software that automatically guides you with turn-by-turn directions and voice prompts to get you safely to your destination.
Similar to Garmin's MapSource software, nRoute features an easy-to-use interface, making its operation intuitive so you can focus on driving. It offers auto-routing and voice-prompting capabilities for virtually any address.
The GPS 18 package also includes City Select North America map data with detailed maps of the United States and select cities in Canada. This data is fully unlocked, and map detail includes highways, interstates, business roads, and residential roads, with turn restrictions, speed categories, and other navigation features. Its more than 5 million points of interest include restaurants, lodging, attractions, shopping, emergency services, post offices, among others.
The GPS 18 includes a 12-parallel-channel, WAAS-enabled sensor/receiver just 2.4 inches in diameter with an integrated magnetic base. The receiver connects to your PC via a USB interface, high-speed 2.0 with USB 1.1 compatibility, and it's powered via your computer so you'll never have to change batteries.
What's in the Box

GPS.......2007-07-09
Good bang for the buck.......2007-06-15
1) There is no fuzzy logic in locating anything. You have to get it spelled exactly right and you have to predict how it's stored.
- It might be White Oak Trail or WhiteOak Trail, or just White Oak.
- The data need scrubbed, there are frequent misspellings (see below)
- The same type of place might be described differently. Say you are looking for the nearest Panera. You have to correctly choose between (or try all) the following for how your nearest one is entered:
- Panera
- Panera Breac [sic]
- Panera Bread
- Panera Bread Bakery
- Panera Bread Bakery Cafe
- Panera Bread Bakery & Cafe
- If you are looking for an address that's say on, US route 40, AKA State Route 12 and also is known as High Street, Good luck. If you're in Pittsburgh, PA, where five or six routes run & weave together, you have my sympathy.
- If you are in a suburban area, the "city" might be the name of the metro area (i.e., the mailing address) or it could be the local suburb. So normally, I leave off the city and just enter the state. Then I wish it would list results in proximity order, not alphabetic order.
2) In one of the five counties that I regularly travel the map data are almost never right. It jumps around between streets that I'm on and the next one over. In Garmin's defense, the county is really screwed up with addresses. Sometimes the street numbers on either side of the street do not run sequentially, e.g., L: 113, 117, R: 130, 132 L: 119, 123 R:138 After being within eyesight of a destination a few times and getting totally lost, I have learned that if I'm within 400 yards of my destination, I'm on my own.
3) Keep vessel visible turns off when you zoom in and out.
Other than that, the audio and visual information is good and a quick pop of the space bar or glance at the status bar gives lots of information.

Great GPS Kit for PC's.......2007-04-19
Large display of upcoming streets is nicer than trying to find streets signs, especially at night.
Most users with newer laptops should order the USB version. Most new computers don't have serial interfaces.
