Hello,
Who here uses one of these? I'm pretty confused as to what makes a GPS system. I've seen a GPS cost anywhere from $100 to $400 upwards. I've also heard of people using a laptop or palmpilot with certain software as GPS. So how exactly do you get yourself a GPS? Since it uses satellite to determine your location, do you need to sign up for some sort of monthly service?
