Car GPS navigation can be more helpful than a map because it is hands free. GPS tells you exactly where to go when you input a set destination. Maps can be confusing and difficult to read.
TeleAtlas Maps are standard with this GPS system.
Now the GPS is electronic and has maps, phones, and it speaks to you.
Updating your GPS maps depends on what manufacturer and specific GPS model you own. You can generally update the GPS maps by either downloading them through the system or buying updated maps on a CD.
gps is use to determine a place in which you are at by a satellite by a formila of (velocity x time= distance). and they also use a thing called triangulation which is using three to prove latitude and longitude but four to obtain altitude. (there are currently 24 satellites in the air). the military uses gps to know where all there soldjers are and to get a clue on where the enemy is. comertial airlines use gps to determin where there air planes are and to know how close other one are.

to find the answer to your question: Are navman gps maps recommended? please see the following website to learn more: www.navman.com.au/car-gps-devices/mapping/
Garmin GPS is better in my opinion, as the features are better and the maps are far more accurate than the Magellan GPS. Don't get me wrong, it's very good but I recommend Garmin.

One can only download Google Maps if their GPS is an "Android" i.e. a GPS bought from Google. If you have one of these then you can download Google Maps straight from "Google Mobile Maps".
The GPS is incredibly accurate. The GPS uses Google Maps and MapQuest. If you are concerned about the GPS, download the Google Maps app to get turn by turn directions.
If you are looking to purchase navman gps maps the best way to tell them apart from other gps maps is to go to www.navman.com.au and download the maps from there. This will insure you are downloading the correct map format for your navman. As for the way they look compared to other gps maps, they all look basically the same so it is difficult to tell them apart by looks alone.
Tom TOM Gps units use the NAVTEQ GPS maps.
Garmin Maps are a product from the Garmin company. They are not the gps devices themselves, but rather, they are downloadable new maps from the Garmin Company for use if you own a Garmin GPS device. http://www.garmin.com/us/maps/
This greatly depends upon what brand of GPS you have. Some come with software that lets you hook your GPS up to your computer and then download the maps that way. For others, you need to purchase an updated maps DVD. To determine which method your GPS uses, please consult your instruction manual.
