Two definitions for the word ‘Quest’:

#1 Quest is "the act or an instance of
seeking or pursuing something; a search."

#2 Quest is also "an expedition undertaken in medieval romance by a knight in
order to perform a prescribed feat: the quest for the Holy Grail."

I’d like to add my own definition for ‘Quest’:

#3 Garmin Quest GPSis a modern day pocket-sized compass, a highly sophisticated navigational electronic instrument with 115 MB of internal memory that snaps easily into place on your vehicles dashboard (and also fits comfortably in your pocket too!) Garmin Quest GPS helps get you where you need to be when you need to be whether you are driving in your car or traveling by foot.

The Garmin Quest GPSremoves the ’search’ and ‘pursuit’ elements from your journey. Garmin Quest GPS features an ultra clear, bright 256-color, high-resolution TFT display that is very easy to read even if you are travelling during the a day with very bright sunshine.

To get the best reception from your Garmin Quest GPS, you have a flip-up antenna that works fine as log as you position it parallel with the road.

I like Garmin Quest GPSunit’s neat, easy to use ‘Find Menu’ cause it lets us select where we want to get to. Once we choose our location target, the rest is a synch with Garmin Quest GPSautomatic routing that features turn by turn instructions and voice guidance. Garmin Quest GPSalso has automatic off-route and detour recalculations, which are great cause if we lose our way by trying our own “short cut” (ie: wrong turn!) the ‘Quest‘ will quickly correct us and get us back on track, in enough time to arrive to our destination.

Don’t underestimate Garmin Quest GPS and garmin Quest 2just cause it’s as small as a TV remote. Because it’s a Garmin GPS unit, equipped with a USB data connection, you have at your finger tips — fast map downloads from Garmin’s entire line of MapSource CDs.

The Quest includes a fully unlocked MapSource City Select CD which gives maps of all the US with five million points of interest!
So even if we’re not actually on the quest for the ‘Holy Grail’; when we we lose our way; making wrong turns — we still feel like we are on our version of a quest for the ‘Holy Grail’.

With Garmin Quest GPStraveling becomes fun. Garmin Quest GPS really is a modern day version of the pocket-compass. It’s durable enough to last in our families for generations to come as a family treasure you’ll want to hand down to your kids and grandchildren one day– just like our grandpa’s pocket-watch we adore.

Garmin eTrex Legend GPS Navigation Unit
Garmin puts it all in the palm of your hand with the Garmin eTrex Legend GPS Navigation Unit. Light weight at 5.3 ounces, the Garmin eTrex Legend GPS Navigation Unit is comfortable, light and compact. There are those of course who will find fault with it because of it’s black and white screen (288×160 pixels-ain’t bad at all!) and slightly complicated inter-face, though if you want accurate GPS coordinates and readings (includes ‘WAAS’ - Wide Area Augmentation System support) at a low price - Garmin eTrex Legend GPS Navigation Unit is a fine hand-held for hiking, backpacking, and geocaching.

Being waterproof and designed with a comfortable and durable-tough rubber grip cover is a big plus when backpacking through mountains and streams. Though the Garmin eTrex Legend GPS Navigation Unitincludes 8 MB of memory which is pretty good for hiking you’ll still need to load MapSource Garmin software to get the most from this GPS unit. Happy New Year geocaching!

2005 almost ended in tragedy in Salt lake city when a group of snowmobilers were lost in the Wasatch County mountains–as a storm came in suddenly, disorienting them and wiping out their tracks. The extreme weather conditions forced Wasatch County Sherriffs Office to temporarily call off their search. Emergency help soon arrived after one of the snowmobilers realized he had GPS coordinates on his cell phone. The four survivors were lost in an area known as Tower Mountain in the Uinta National Forest about 15 miles east of Heber City.

More and more lately we are witnessing how GPS technology like GPS Tracking and GPS Monitoring offers much needed solutions to make our society safer and more livable. NavigatorGPS applauds Republican State Senator Brent E. Steele from Indiana for drafting a law requiring convicted sex offenders to submit to lifelong GPS monitoring. The Indiana bill would require convicted child molesters to wear a Global Positioning System (GPS) device following their release from prison.

On the other hand, Marc Mauer, executive director of The Sentencing Project, a Washington-based criminal justice think tank, believes that while some chronic child abusers may need prolonged supervision, others may maintain a spotless record after leaving prison. While there are other lawmakers that hold positions similar to this questioning the necessity for the bill and its implications for civil rights despite the fact that “even abusers will tell you that once you’re a pedophile, you’re always a pedophile,” as Senator Brent E. Steele commented.

NavigatorGPS believes that Steele’s legislative efforts should be supported, this is an opportunity to put GPS technology and navigation sytems to great use to improve law enforcement and thus protect our society from criminals. NavigatorGPS calls on all sectors of the political system to support Steele–this is one issue that ought to be supported across the political spectrum regardless if you are a liberal or conservative.

I don’t know why but I still ask my wife, even if I think I’m 90% sure of where I’m driving, ‘Do I take a left or a right here?’ I guess it’s because if I’m driving around and make a mistake I need somebody to blame besides myself! So, if I haven’t been in a particular area for a while, I ask. When she says left she means right and visa versa, and what’s worse, I listen to her instruction and take the right turn — I mean the wrong turn! It’s easy to blame our spouses sometimes, but not all the time, particularly these days when we have GPS units like the Garmin StreetPilot c330 GPS Vehicle Navigator.

For those of you who prefer touch screen, and that’s a lot of us StreetPilot c330 by Garmin (Garmin StreetPilot c330 GPS Vehicle Navigator ) is the preferred choice. I found Garmin c330 to be a piece of cake to set up without the hassle of map loading. For many of us that’s the litmus test-if getting started is quick and easy or a major pain. Here, c330 GPS was a synch along with the fact that most of the maps most of require are already pre-loaded.

After the fast, simple installation, Garmin StreetPilot c330 was already saving me from asking my wife which way was right! I shouldn’t be so critical I guess, because I realized quickly (with the help of the c330) she was giving me fantastic, super accurate, turn-by-turn driving instructions using the Garmin GPS unit’s automatic route calculation.

For someone who despises anything too complicated and wants a GPS device that is super easy friendly to use and straightforward, Garmin StreetPilot c330 is perfect. If you are one of those folks who don’t like buttons and switches Garmin c330 only has a rotary volume knob and an on/off switch. Left and right aside, with the StreetPilotc330 Vehicle Navigator, I don’t hesitate with taking lefts nor rights much these days, I feel like the luckiest pilot on the planet with my wife as the expert navigator beside me.
