Does cityXplorer work in your city ?

I've tried using it in New York for the past day and it's so-so. When it can get satellite reception (which is spotty, I guess due to the tall bldgs.), it does help me walk around. It does a good job telling me where the subway entrances are, which exits from the subway to use, etc. It definitely doesn't always choose the best subway route and sometimes it is just wrong (like telling me to get off at a stop which is on a different line, which it did once). Overall, I don't really think it was worth the money. I spend as much time entering destinations (and my current location because it can't locate satellites so often) into it as I probably would just looking at a map. So, Pros: -When it gets reception, it's good for walking around the city. -Finds subway entrances -Helps with getting out of the subway and getting going in the right direction, which can otherwise be kind of disorienting, since you've been underground and don't know which way you're facing. -Counts off each stop that you have to pass before you get off a train to transfer or get out of the subway. Cons: -Reception is so spotty here that sometimes, it's just a list of directions. -Doesn't have a 'sleep' mode for when you stick it in your pocket and walk or sit on the bus and don't need to be looking at it. -Isn't always accurate. -Doesn't always pick the best subway routes. But I would guess that it does get me to the location at least 90% of the time. You just have to be sure you know a little bit about where you're going to make sure it seems right.

Tried previous answer, but it did not work. I am in the NYC area; don't know if location affects this.

yes after you get a subscription you have to scan for a station that isnt currently assigned and program that in as your location.

It does Geocaching and I believe you enter Long and Lat to find the sites, but I have never Geocached.I hope this helps

Yes. I've never done it; but the manual says you can enter & find locations by geographic coordinates (e.g., helpful when geocaching).

NO, but there's a few apps available that can determine your location and set specific options. Locale, Tasker and Setting Profile are some that come to mind.

I live in the city and don't have any problem. My mom lives in rural area and it did not work for her.

I have mine set on "City" because that is where I do most of my driving. If I leave town, I set it on "Hwy".Decide where you do the most driving and leave it set there. It should work fine...mine does.

This works by using a database of camera locations. Most of the time it gets it correct. It does not sense or detect the camera and the radar - it knows where they are located and you update the database once per month. I live in Montgomery County MD which is number one in the country for cameras and it was going off so much I took it out of the car. It has saved me from several tickets and it is a decent product.

I was able to do this for all of my hotels and points of interest for my trip to France a year ago and it worked fine. I have City Navigator on an SD card that inserts in my Garmin.

I live in downtown San Francisco and it barely works here.. So I'm not sure

Yes it works. It takes time to load and locate the satellite. With a combo of maps, GPS and luck you will find your destination. P.S. South America does not use street signs, they sometimes rely on landmarks to give you directions. Hope this info works for you.

Make sure you have WAAS enabled. And make sure you have "follow street" enabled. Should do it. If it looks good on the Etrex screen but not Google Earth then it is a compatibility problem between the two and your s.o.o.l.. Good luck!

I live in a suburban area and it works, just gave me a bit of work finding perfect area. Once I found it it works great.

I just noticed if you read the older Q&A; on this GPS, Other people are using it with MS Streets, so I can say yes, it will work.

My understanding - not knowing which City Mini you have or if there was some major update in the last couple of months - is that this chair only works with the City Select. We absolutely love these b/c they travel with to grandparents house and serve as our highchairs when we were there.
