Re: car gps for worldwide use



Any GPS can be used anywhere in the world.

It is not the hardware you have to consider, it is the software you
must research before deciding on a GPS/software.

If you are considering a handheld or auto GPS, most GPS have only USA
maps, many also have Europena maps (expensive), and probably very
little outside these.

There are more possibilities with a PDA/GPS combination. Not knowing
where you want to use them it is not possible to advise. But you get
the idea for consideration.
