GPS for USB Notebook Computers

REVIEW BY JIM BAUDO

 

Expected to Ship on December 21, 2003

The Navman e-Series GPS turns your USB-connected laptop into a compact navigation system. Utilizing a 12-channel GPS receiver, Navman calculates position, direction, and speed using satellite data that is updated every second to ensure precise location information.

We can't say you won't ever get lost again, but it will definitely be a lot harder to do with Navman's accurate directional readings. Plug it into your notebook's USB port and you're equipped for any road trip. Package includes everything you need to navigate – all the maps and hardware:

  • GPS receiver
  • Windshield mounting bracket
  • Rand McNally StreetFinder® software
This is a great piece of gear for the road warrior who realizes that when it comes to exploration, knowledge is power.

Rand McNally StreetFinder® software features:

  • Use with a Navman GPS receiver to get immediate, accurate location info (U.S. only)
  • Create customized maps specific to your trip
  • Format maps for convenient printing
  • Address-to-address directions via the Internet, plotted on the map and in text form
  • Mobil Travel Guide® listings for restaurants and hotels, with ratings
  • Concierge recommendations for 100 cities–the best in food, lodging, and nightlife
  • More than 1 million business listings in dozens of categories
  • Use the Trip Organizer to store maps, directions, appointments, and more
THIS IS A LONG AWAITED GPS UNIT THAT FITS EVERYONE'S BUDGET AND IS PACKED WITH FEATURES. IT HAS AND DOES ALL THE SIMILAR FEATURES AS THE EARLIER MODEL DESIGNED TO USE WITH A COMPORT. THE MAP SOFTWARE HAS BEEN UPDATED AND IS VERY USER FRIENDLY.
