Private P asked:


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!

alex619 asked:


In a phone such as the BlackBerry Pearl 8110 (AT&T), which has GPS, I understand that if you want to use it for turn-by-turn directions and so on, you have to add a service such as AT&T Navigator. But if you just wanted to know, for example, where you were, where the different directions are, do you need to buy and software/services, or does that work out of the box? Thanks!

Max asked:


I’m going on a long flight pretty soon and I have a handheld Garmin GPS. I’d like to use it to see where I am, how fast we’re going, stuff like that. Is it safe to turn a GPS on when flying? What about during takeoff and landing?
