Arlene G asked:


This question came to me as I was searching for a portable navigation GPS for my car. I wondered as I researched products why some offered WAAS while others did not. So I found myself wondering what the acronym meant and how having or not having it would affect the product’s performance.

My husband wants a GPS system for his car for Christmas. I know nothing about these things. I’ve seen the Tom Tom’s, and Garmins, but I’m not sure what to look for. He just wants something basic, nothing too fancy with a gazillion features. But not the cheapest one either. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Is it better to have more or less channels in a GPS? I see Garmin usually runs around 12 channels but Tom Tom runs 20 channels. But Garmins have more features that I like. Which would be the better one to buy?

First off I would like to appreciate all of you for taking the time to view and/or answer this question.
I was wondering…

Is there a GPS Navigation device that works in DOWNTOWN Chicago surrounded by skyscrapers?

I have tried several GPS units and they all seem to lose connection when I get in between the large buildings in downtown Chicago so I was wondering if there is some sort of special device that will work in this situation?

Price is not an issue.

Thanks again!
