does software show your GPS location on the map as you drive? I think it should, but I have not seen that stated in reviews, or elsewhere.

&#65279; I have Microsoft Streets and Trips, both 2002 & 2013. I purchased the 2002 "without" the GPS attachment. I purchased 2013 "with" the GPS, and it definitely shows you driving on your laptop. However, as maps of the US do not change too drastically from year to year, I would suggest purchasing last years or even on 2 years old. The cost goes down drastically.

No. It is not a GPS device. Nor does it "reflect" map application information (but that would be nice) . It only "reflects " performance oriented data from a compatible App like: wahoo or strava; time, speed, cadence, pace, rpm, heart rate, etc.

Theres no GPS software. The camera records the GPS info and you can see it in any computer you like.

If you are outdoors, or more specifically you have gps reception, and then move indoors (and thus out of gps reception) does it still tag the photo at the last known location? This would be good for me as I am looking for a camera I can take diving and so my hope it will tag pictures at the last known location (i.e. when we start the dive)

It will give you some indications of how you vary from the path, but it does not show a path. At least it hasn't the way I have used it. I think you need a charting type of GPS for that.

No, it does not display street names, only the main ones and even then, very few. It does display the street you are on and the directions are very clear and repetitive, though. Oddly, I live in South Florida and it does show the name of every single canal and lake. I have no idea why the software developers thought those would be of high interest to the user and not the detailed names of the streets. It does come preloaded with mapping software, and you get one free upgrade with Garmin within 30 days of registering the device with them. Hope this helps, but you've probably already made your purchasing decision by now.

Hi Taran, Great Question. This Tracker Works Off Of SMS (Text) You Will Send Commands Via Text And Receive Realtime Locations In A Link That Automatically Will Direct You To The Location On Your Map......Also Gives You Date, Time, And Speed Traveled At Time Of Track. Hope This Answers Your Question, Thank You!

I dont think you can really visualize that though. I'm guessing that the location is constantly being updated in your system but the screen/map might not reflect that. Also i think it depends on your resolution and the aspect of your current screen (ie, how detailed is the map being shown, is it in a street view or is it in a city view, etc). It wouldn't make sense if you are in a "zoomed-out" view and your car icon is constantly (2,3 times in a second) being refreshed and moves. Unless you are driving at like 200mph or using your GPS on an airplane...

I do not have the GPS add on on my radio, but when I do have a back up camera hooked up and it still plays music when the back up camera is on. I can even still change the station. So i imagine it would be the same with the GPS running.

Yes, it shows your location on google maps, but it's not accurate, you better find a better option.

There is a screen saver that shows both compas direction and speed, but on the video as you asked, it is not there. There are actually two files produced while driving, one of them is the video with time showing, there is another that is used to show your location and speed. Of course you do need the GPS add on which does not come with this. I have also purchased the http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FQFHZAC/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it is smaller, same specs, and comes with GPS.

I'm not sure. I mean, wherever I was, I was able to zoom out and see a map, but not the best map I guess. I used it in the middle of nowhere in Oregon though. It always got me where I needed to go, it just didn't always tell me where exactly I was, if that makes sense. I.e., it directed me from point A to point B, but if I wanted to know what town I was in, or on what road, that information wasn't always on the screen. Hope that helps!

This is my husband's GPS and he said that the screen 'occasionally' goes to a split screen, showing a map and a picture of the road that you're currently on. I hope this helps!

no, it just logs its position, however, when plugged on the PC, it can inform your current location.

Nothing that I've noticed except for a slightly smaller screen. I travel a lot off of recognizable roads that are on the garmin maps but the "tracks feature" draws a line everywhere I've driven even if the GPS does not recognize a road.

I believe this is proprietary. From what I've experienced, it ties to the GPS software itself to supply the information. Best I can give you.

No it does not, it only displays the GPS portion of it when you remove the SD Card and play it in the program. It records your GPS location relevant to the real time camera image.
