First you need to do a price comparison as there are a few models out there from Garmin. I have heard that some of the units have a faulty battery, which could be a problem.
Garmin is a great tool to use, but quite frankly, you don't need to spend the money. Download a map quest app on your phone to do the same job as a Garmin or any other GPS system.
NO, you do not need to buy Garmin GPS software if you use a Garmin navigational device. You can just download them at www8.garmin.com/support/download.jsp
First you need to install garmin basecamp to your computer. After this is done you will need to install garmin mapsource. This will allow you to download new versions when you plug your garmin into your computer.
One can download free maps for their Garmin GPS system on the OpenStreetMap website. You will need a USB connector or a memory card in order to download the maps.
You need a reset
garmin is not a car. garmin is a gps device which helps drivers who need directioons while driving. you can store maps, and find locations using a garmin.
The word on the street is that Garmin is definitely the way to go when it comes to a GPS. As far as which model is the best for the money, I would have to say that if you do not need all the bells and whistles, you can't go wrong with the Garmin Nuvi 360. It's not the bottom of the line, but it does everything you need a GPS system to do, and you can get it for as little as $177 here: http://www.blowoutdiscounters.com/electronics/gps-systems/garmin-nuvi-360-gps.html *thumbs up*
Any information you may need about the GPS Navigation Garmin can be found at www.garmin.com. There is a full description of all garmin products.
es but you need garmin software loaded on your computer to see the trips
If you drive a car, you need to own a Garmin GPS device. It is as simple as that. Even if you know your way around your city very well, you never know when you need to go out of town to a place where you are unfamiliar with the roads. You do not want to get stuck not knowing how to get somewhere. You don't want to be late to everything because you get lost.
The only accessories you need for a Garmin is a computer to register it, and a car charger to charge the GPS in the car while in use. Other than that there is nothing you need.
Yes, Garmin regularly update their software with new maps and routes. You need to connect your GPS to your computer and then the software can be downloaded from Garmin's official website.
