The price for this is is moderately low - Does this include everything needed to use laptop as a GPS Navigator?

Yes, just download the program to your harddrive from the provided CD. Then insert the provided GPS unit into a USB port, start the program, plan a trip, and you're off. Everything is included.
159289
Everything is included to do what you want; at what could be considered a low price. We have both this and a dedicated gps. It's probably best used by a co-pilot or for trip planning in unfamiliar territory. For straight forward trips where the destination address is already known, a dedicated GPS is much easier to use and a whole lot safer.

Yes it does. Be careful about using a laptop while driving as that could be considered distracted driving by police. With a copilot, no problem.

If you have the S&T; with GPS, yes you can use it as a GPS to navigate. I have them used all over the states for years. I bought my first in 2006 and have updated several times. I like better than the built in one in my car. I use it even when I use the one in the car. You don't have to be connected to the Internet or wifi.
159292
Yes, it does. The GPS receiver is quite good, and the USB extension cord makes it easy to ensure that the receiver gets a good view of the sky, regardless of where the PC is.
159293
Yes. If you purchase Streets and Trips with the GPS after you load the software for just mapping and information you can plug the GPS receiver into any USB Port and use it as a GPS. (Of course you don't need to be online to use the GPS receiver with the software.)I have tried it and it works as well as my Intellinav2 GPS and is a lot more detailed.

Yes this has a gps in the form of usb stick. I have had issues with the gps being iffy when connecting depending on the operating system it works with xp, 7 and 8. Simply load the software and that loads the drivers for the gps and off you go. There is an icon in the toolbar to start the gps. Put in a start and an ending point turn on the gps and it will give turn by turn directions.

It does have a GPS built-in, however it does eat the battery so use it sparingly. It is very accurate too for a low priced Tablet.

No. It's wifi capable though. However I do not recommend this GPS for many reasons. I wouldn't pay more than $200 for it if you could find one that cheap. I have this product and I am very disappointed. Good luck.

No GPS, but for the price what do you expect, unless you want to wait a few years for the tech to get old hat?

No, just get it interfaced to your laptop, start your software (Streets & Trips and DeLorme Topo North America both work for me) and it will find you. Even inside the house it found my location. This is much better than the GPS functionality in your cell phone. Well worth the price.

Yes, everything you need is in the box. A charger for vehicle is included and also one for the house to recharge it. Very satisfied with this GPS!

I does have GPS, but no Bluetooth. It doesn't come with the case and I couldn't find a keyboard for it when I bought it.

No built in navigator. The GPS is for playback only.So you can plot the route and speed you had traveled.All post recording. The only information you can get on the devices is longitude and latitude points in the menu settings.

Yes it comes with everything needed to install a laptop in a vehicle. Just make sure you select the correct kit for the specific vehicle
1986085
Yes it does.....I am using work laptop with Windows 8 and it works fine....haven't used any gps feature though, just the maps itself.

Hi, You will get the GPS device, mount for windshield, car charger, user manual and CD. Mine had unlimited free internet updates for the maps

It comes with a USB/ANT+ stick which allows wireless communication with computer. Frankly, mine has not been working very well, so you might want to spring for one of the better/more expensive Garmin models.

GPS is awesome. Load map or distanation by WiFi then access navigator, google map or whichever you use to access and GPS is ready to go

This has maps of my area, so I would say yes. Also, u can download maps to your computer and upload them to the Garmin.

The box contains a GPS unit, USB cable (very short), car power adapter, and stick-on mounting system (one piece clips into the back of the unit, one has a way to stick to the dash or window, and the two parts snap together allowing the unit to be moved around). I only used the part that attaches to the unit, and Garmin's beanbag (separate item) to sit on the dash. The instructions are minimal (pictures showing how to put the mount together and plug it in); you need to connect to a computer and get the online manual and updates. There is NO AC power adapter or case.

No printed user guide but everything one needs can be found within the laptop. Sorry, I am not that techno-ish so can answer only basic questions. A friend set it up for me. Hope this helped.

Was not included but has ports to allow for one. You can find one that will work for pretty cheap money. Side note - I probably would not buy unit again with hindsight. GPS sw needed update out of the box and would cost additional $75.Actually use phone gps that this unit now.
