GPS

[Troy Tikalsky]

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 use Garmin N-Route on my laptop. 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.

Hi
Just picked up something which we may not have considered
.
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.

I have my GPS home address two blocks from my house.

A friend of mine has her 'home' as the local Police Department.

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.

Valid point, but not all of us keep our registration in our glove box, nor is it registered to our home address (in my case at least).

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.
