Just a thought though a lot of work vehicles have installed gps for this reason so people will not take advantage of the free gas or time. The ones I have run into even can tell if the vehicle key is in the on position as if someone were sitting in the car listening to the radio instead of working. Just a thought though. I have heard u can tell by the fuse box there are some kind of wires there. And pull the glove box all the way out and search around there the device is about the size of an alarm box or interlock device good luck either way.

All GPS systems get their information from government owned satellites, so accuracy is a moot point. The features built into the GPS system, such as route redirection, traffic update, Points of Interest, etc is what you're actually weighing. Good Luck.

Do you have a friend you could borrow one from? Consider renting a car and getting the satellite thing with it. But, consider this: you may already have almost everything you need. Many cell phones are satellite friendly. Most directions sites (I use mapquest.com) have an application you can download to your phone, and then 'send' your phone the directions from mapquest. Voila! It now has the capability to adjust for you on the fly. Goto your directional website of choice and see what hardware they support. (If they don't support your model of phone, try another site) A seasoned traveler with a decent directional ability, I get my directions from the site, and used to print them. Now, I just save the web page to my laptop (usually the printer friendly version) and have it open on the seat next to me. Drive safe!

I haven't had any problems and it's simple to operate. Takes you right to the door of an address every time! Highly recommend it! Not all GPS are the same as previously claimed! They are comparable to cell phones that drop calls. Some are much worst than others and it isn't always an easy fix. I have NEVER experienced it with my Magellan 760 or the 500 I previously had! They also are easy to update and you can also add your own information! I would purchase it on line as they are much cheaper there than retail stores such as Best Buy or whatever.

Great unit, easy to use. Upgradeable when roads change or are added. Also can be upgraded for marine use. GPS Feedback: I own a Magellan 700. Great unit, easy to use.
