GPS - Troy Tikalsky - 09-13-2007 02:36 I use the Garmin Streetpilot 2610. It works well, I turn off the voice commands because they are annoying but have the tone alert turned on so it beeps when a turn is approaching. I really like the feature of setting the vehicle type to bus so it avoids roads that it knows have height or weight restrictions. It has a bean bag base that works well for keeping it planted on the dash and is very easily moved to the toad when touring, no remote antenna just a power adapter.

I think it cost about $130.00. I like it the screen size on a laptop better than the smaller GPS. I routed a power supply from behind my set of front drawers to the top of the large flat part of the dash. I keep the inverter on so I am running on AC not the battery. Also keep an internet connection, Email and connection back to the office running via air card at the same time.

If a thief steals your car with a GPS, not only gets the car but the GPS is likely programmed to get him to your home, but also he will know that you are not there . Thought I wanted to share this with you guy's. Kurt '97 BMC 37' in NH still 36 degrees GPS - Ken Sann - 04-09-2009 01:36 I have my GPS home address two blocks from my house.
A friend of mine has her 'home' as the local Police Department.

GPS - g_man1146 - 04-09-2009 07:01 Wouldn't they know that from the registration in the glov-box anyway? As a LEO for over 25 years I never saw a car thief that showed up at the victim's house, possible but not probable. Rich D.

But do not think that I am paranoid, if you were to Google my name, you would find out where I live and where I work, as well as current and past phone #s, relatives names, likely friends, etc. Plus pictures of me, my motorcycles, etc.

All of you might be interested to Google your name if you have not done so already.
Ken Sann wannabe in SoCal that is very easy to find
