That can sometimes meanwaiting several minutes for the GPS to get a satellite fix. HotFix can predict satellite positions for up to 3 days after the device was last turned off.
Where Am I? With a single tap you can display your exact latitude and longitude, the nearest address and intersection, and the closest hospitals, police stations and gas stations.

Receiver, lifetime traffic included. Does the destination balloon stay on screen the entire time or just when you first make the selection? I often had to wonder if I had selected the correct destination on my old Magellan and this would be a feel-good feature.
Also, how much notice does the Garmin give before turns? I read comments that the TomTom does not tell you vocally of an impending turn until the last moment. My Magellan gives me notices at 2 miles,. I believe the distance to turn warning varies depending upon speed, type of road, estimated time to turn, etc.
In other words, it will take you to the destinations you transfer to the device, but not necessarily via the same route shown in MapQuest. I find that there is not much you can do with the extra memory silly me for not reseraching this. In any case I want to know if I can move all my maps to the 4 gig SD and use main memory for other things like routes, pictures and what-not. Is there any real use for the expande RAM?
Could use it in my camera I guess. Not without a full backup first. AFAIK, most people use the microSD for updated maps once the map files get too big for internal memory , additional maps topos, other countries, etc.

Routes generated by the T often favour clogged main roads and sometimes confound well-versed locals with their counter-intuitiveness. The T comes preloaded with the latest Whereis maps and while these prove to be more reliable in the inner city especially with turn restrictions and in the bush than Navteq's offering, it's still likely to lead you to the wrong part of the street as street numbering is nowhere close to being per cent accurate.
A lifetime Suna traffic messaging subscription is included and this allows the T to display traffic incidents, like planned roadworks, special events, jams and accidents, either via a coloured overlay on a black-and-white version of the normal map, as an easily digestible list or as a series of possible delays on your route. As we've mentioned before , the traffic messaging alerts are handy as a guide, but we would often run into delays that had yet to turn up in the system or ones that had already cleared.
If you happen to enter a tunnel, there's no dead reckoning to make up for the lack of GPS satellite reception nor are there any instructions, so if there's a particular tunnel exit that needs to be taken, good luck. Positioning accuracy is good in the suburbs, but the unit can lose track of satellites in the CBD leading to either incorrect positioning or complete signal drop out, which is normal.
Red light and speed camera locations are hailed by a warning chime and a signposted icon on the map. Though this is better than the indecipherable flashing icons used by some other makers, the text could do with being a bit larger, even on the 5-inch screen. Navigation 1. Users are able to download the latest maps four times per year with no further fees or subscriptions.
The device will signal upcoming turns and prepare you, ensuring you stay on route. This option allows users to plan environmentally friendly routes which can reduce fuel consumption. The device includes a subscription to a lifetime of free traffic updates. The device can avoid certain routes depending on the user's preference.
For example, if you wish to avoid expensive toll roads then the device can design an alternative route. If the user has many destinations planned, for example a UPS driver, they can enter in all of the destinations and the GPS will calculate the most efficient route to take, saving time and reducing fuel costs.
The device will tell you what street you arrive on. This feature will tell the user what lane they should be in when preparing for upcoming turns or junctions. Features 1.
