Which GPS would work best?

I would recommend Garmin as well, I have a GPSMap 60 (black and white) and have been very satisified with it. The comment you made about downloading maps off the internet... \n\nGarmin requires you buy maps of areas from them, in the form of an application called MapSource. You then connect your GPS, and select an area from the program that can fit inside the memory of that GPS and then download that section into your GPS.\n\nI have not heard of any manufacturer that allows you to freely download maps from the net.\n\nIn Canada, north american map software goes for about 200$ while Europe geos for 500$. Its expensive, and you can't download just a city or other portion of an area. So far, I have not bought map software for that reason but, the GPS's usefullness increases tenfold when you have maps downloaded so it looks like something I'll have to do soon.

GPS should be installed in cabs as it will help the drivers navigate their route more efficiently.Hence you shoulg markte GPS to cab drivers in big mega cities which have traffic congestions like Bangkok.

Google earth works really well...just have to download it....but it wont be in real time everytime you use it..it sounds like you want it for security purposes...that I guess you would need a keyhole satellite for!!!

Downlaod Google Earth.  It has longitude and latitude adjusters so you just type it in and it will give you a location (and show it to you)

A GPS is a good solution, and since you seem to be outdoorsy, you may already have one. Collect your data as a series of waypoints, two for a shore-to-shore straight line, more for a non-linear route. Depending on your make/model, there are software packages that will allow you to calculate distance between waypoints.\n\nA simpler and still reliable solution is a ruler and topographic map. There ought to be complete 1:50,000 scale map coverage of your area. Find a local map dealer, or go to the USGS (US Geological Survey) website to order.

Check into Qualcomm's Omnitracks system- it is world wide. The trucking and fishing company's in the USA and Brazil, Russia etc. Use it. Its a satallite tracking system that you can look up your truck on your account on the web- see messages, location etc... Qualcomm- San Diego.

Like the other person said, I don't know why you want to do this but here is another suggestion as well.\n\nMicrosoft Streets and Trips 2006 with GPS.\nYou could get the 2005 version\nYou could just by a compatabile GPS on ebay as well.\nJust shop around and buy from a reptuable detailer.

My guess is that they would still work-you would not get an accurate reading of your position though-what coordinate system or projection is space in? and the reading would have to bounce back into earth from a reading station and then back to the GPS units-\nWhich brings up another question? Would signals be lost in translation?\nI really don't know\nBut its gonna bother me.

GPS, which usually stands for Global Positioning System, is a way to track your location based on satellite information and triangulation. Why would you need them in a desktop? \n\nSo the answer is no.
