I am in Afghanistan. I am looking 4 a GPS as a backup incase I'm separated & need to navigate on my own. Is this a goood unit for that purpose?

Yes we believe it is good for navigation. We have purchased 2 in the last 4 years. It has good tracking abilities and you can "Mark a Position" any time you want so you have a place you can go back to if needed.

I think that you need a GPS unit with GLONASS frequency. The GPSMAP 64 Series should do the work but you need to load the map for the region.

This is an excellent unit for that purpose. It has all the features for personally navigating across a terrain. BUT you're going to have to find a chip or a download for your area of the globe. You have to have the proper software maps.

Yes Absolutely. This is the best and most versatile GPS I have ever had. However don't expect a lot from the traffic reports as there are not a lot of radio stations available. The updating is easy.

I found a GARMIN GPS III PLUS (can be found on AMAZON usually used but sometimes someone has a new one) to be perfect on my quad. It provides features not found in combination on any GPS currently in production that I have found. I won't go thru all the features here as there are so many, but for me, it provides everything I could want in exploring remote areas of AZ except a gas gauge for the quad! Mine is clamped to the handlebars and runs off vehicle power so no battery life problems. Check one out and save yourself a lot of money while getting the capabilities a new one can't provide.

Only osd gps. Not gps flight. So basically no. It's kind of a beginner board. Not much you can do with it.

NO.. The Garmin is fully self contained. This device is not only powerful, but strong. It is used for hunting, tracking or hiking. A must have. It fixes your position anywhere by satellites!

This is a GPS-based unit and has no range limits, but if you're looking for a device to aid in hiking or cross-country activities, you would be better off with a specialized hiking GPS device. My use is simply helping me return to my vehicle at a mall or stadium, etc. This is the simplest GPS device available.

Yes, it has the navigation app and that works well. GPS is a little slow to acquire the satellites, but it works well.

Sorry Darrell it does not have a stand alone GPS ... you can connect to mapquest on the internet .. this about the only downfall of this table. I am totally happy with it otherwise. Hope this helps you.

It does have GPS capability. I've used it in Antarctica. Can be turned on and off in settings/location services.

The unit utilizes NavTeq for navigation. I have had units made by Garmin and Magellan; this one works just as well, if not better. Like all the others, the navigation will sometimes have you take unnecessary turns rather than instructing you to make a u-turn, depending on which direction your vehicle is pointing when navigation begins. This unit recognizes some connector streets that the others somehow don't recognize. I am satisfied with the navigation.

Navigator, no. It's not a gps to get you around town. Think of it like a tracking tool. Recording coordinates and speed data

No, and the map that comes with it is outdated even for US usage. This GPS doesn't hold up. I only got to use it once and then it blacked out on me and never came back on. Junk as far as I'm concerned. When and bought me a Tom Tom. I bought the DragonPad because it was cheap and you know the saying, you get what you pay for.

My guess is it would work. I would be very cautious about buying this product. Mine quit working after a couple months.. I could never reach customer support by telephone. I would recommend the Garmin Glo over this product. I would also plan on having some form of back up navigation if you are going to sea with it. I fly and have found out you can never count on these portable gps units. Sometimes they work but often they do not.

It does however I had my unit about 3 months and the GPS portion stopped. I lost the navigation part and I know it is my unit and I will not buy another one....everything else works except GPS.

Not sure of your specific requirements but it does have GPS. GPS requires apps for specific functions. The one capability it lacks is a compass.
