Best car gps under or around 250 dollars?
I’m looking for a decent car gps navigation system that’s under or around $250.
It will be replacing my Magellan Roadmate 360, which has some serious issues. First, it doesn’t have retail stores beyond restaurants and gas stations listed in the points of interest database. Second, it requires you to put in the township/district instead of the real city or town name when putting in an address, which is pretty impossible to determine beforehand.
So basically, I’m looking for something with a big points of interest database and easy address input.
It also must have a “most use of freeways” or something similar, because I’ve used GPS systems that take you on dumb local roads instead of interstates when you’re going long distances.
What is the best car GPS for my grandparents?
I am looking to buy my grandparents (late 60’s) a gps for their car and was wondering what is the most user friendly for them. I would like it to have text to speech and some POI. I don’t want to go over 200 for it and would like any additional information on it, such as how it is charged etc.. thanks!
Has anyone ever tried to create a database for using a car GPS? How would you get it uploaded to the car GPS?
How to power a GPS module, microcontroller and a modem installed in a car ?
I can use the car battery ( 12 V ) to supply the power but how would I go about to getting that power to the 3 portable devices that’ll be installed in the car ? GPS module takes 12v, microcontroller takes 5V and modem takes 3V.
Need a voltage regulator of some sort but not sure how to go about it.. ANY suggestions would be of great help.
