So you\u2019re tired of using huge unfoldable maps on your road-trip? You\u2019re a man that doesn\u2019t like to ask for directions and refuse to hear \u201clet\u2019s ask somebody\u201d one more time! You\u2019ve bought a GPS. Good for you. What\u2019s next?<\/p>\n
Give it some time. <\/strong>When you power your newly bought GPS device, it will download essential information from the sky. Your GPS will be enlightened with data regarding satellite location and whereabouts. This process can last a good 20 minutes or so and you want to do it before you leave for your cross-country-RV-road-trip. If you eventually got to the other side of the nation, remember to let your GPS know and do the satellite lock thingy once more.<\/p>\n Give it some thought.<\/strong> It\u2019s recommended to learn how to use your GPS and avoid unnecessary frustration and the random GPS flying out of the window routine. Get the manual and try to understand the basics in the comfort of your home, where there is no pressure and the only place you\u2019ll need to go to is the bathroom.<\/p>\n Give it some software. <\/strong>Did you know that Hawaii is moving 4 inches towards Japan each and every year? Good! Does your GPS know it? Not unless you update maps and software every once in a while. An update can make your GPS work faster and if your manufacturer is nice, he\u2019ll throw in cool new features from time to time. A firmware update is usually free and requires a visit to the website and downloading files into your GPS device. Updating maps will probably cost you money but if London Bridge will fall down you\u2019ll be notified to take a different route.<\/p>\n Give it your own maps. <\/strong>Did you know that you can create a route on Google maps or MapQuest and send it to your GPS? Plan your trip before you leave home, include a stop at grandma\u2019s and at the video store and head on your<\/em> way.<\/p>\n Give it your own terms. <\/strong>Now you can not only decide whether your GPS will have the voice of a man or a woman, but you can also decide what it\u2019s going to say. Instead of the annoying \u201cturn right in 100 feet\u201d you can make it say \u201cturn right on Main Street.\u201d Isn\u2019t it cool? So if you know the neighborhood or just don\u2019t know 2 feet from your two feet, use the Text to Speech option.<\/p>\n Give it a good reset. <\/strong>Don\u2019t you just love to insert that pin and push the hidden reset button? Well, if your GPS is going nuts and telling you to take a left into the Grand Canyon \u2013 save your favorites and reset the little bugger.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for a great deal on a GPS device, you should check out www.1stopcamera.com.
