As some of you mylot-ers may know, I am moving out of state soon to a very metropolitan area. I am a little worried about finding my way around and have been thinking about getting a GPS thing to keep in my car. I don't know anyone who has one, so I'm lookng for some advice from some people who do. >w<
Is it worth it to buy one?
Do you have to pay for service (like cell phones) for them, or do they work on their own?
and If you think I should get one, which do you reccomend?
Thanks for your answers in advance. ^-^

GPS are wonderful to have! I have one loaded on my laptop for the RV and also in my car. I do not pay a monthly fee but as for future updates for mapsand such, I'm not sure as I haven't owned it a year yet. I would recommend buying on but check for the features you want. There are several brands, I have a garmin but my mother swears by tomtom. On the other hand my son has one and can't follow the directions to save his soul! Fortunately, if you miss a turn it will recalculate the route for you. Good luck on your move.

I have put GPS in my car. We are foreigners here in America, so we can easy lost in ways, and GPS is very helpful. We buy GPS from the website, not from the phone, it just one time paid you can use all life time.

But if you buy a GPS, I think you should familiar with it first, you may be very confused when you first time you use it. but if you familiar with it, it will become very useful, especially when you come a new place!

We have a GPS for our van. We bought it a few years ago for when we go on vacations and trips. It has worked well for us so far and saved us from getting lost a few times. When we were looking to buy one we read the reviews on all the brands. Garmin seemed to have the best reviews. It is a little more expensive i think, but you can usually pick things like that up cheaper on ebay. I think it would help you get around pretty well till you learn your way around.

Hi,Yes we have a Garmin,we use it regularly for trips and my husband has to have it for his work to locate jobs he has to do.It worth buying yes.No you dont have to pay for service you just make sure it charged or plug it into the outlet in your car and turn it on. You have to use the correct spelling on some of the locations.We love ours its been very helpful, and we dont get lost in places we dont know very well away from home.

I put GPS on my car if I'm on the other country because I don't know their place. Last year my GPS broke because my sister's niece played with, so I have to buy a new one.

I bought a GPS a few years ago and it was the best purchase ever. I always get lost whereever I go so my handy GPS shows me where to go. I bought a Garmin and would buy another one from them again. You dont have to pay for any services you use. You can download the maps or update the mps every so often but its free on the internet. It take a few hours but better than paying for the faster version. I usually get my sisters boyfriend to update it for me.

Yeah,I think GPS syatem is a very good equipment and I love it a lot. I am a person lost my way easily especially in a unfamiliar place. But I don't put a GPS system im my car and I just use a cell phone which has GPS to guide me.Because I don't drive often so the cell phone is enough for me.
