Digital camera reviews of Garmin GPS 18 Deluxe USB Sensor for Laptops
Digital camera Review: GPS
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this unit. It is easy to use and accurate. My technologicly challenged wife was even able to use it while I drove. We use it while traveling in our RV so having room to use a laptop PC is not an issue. I especialy like how the program recallculates the route automaticly if you don't follow the dirrections.Digital camera Review: GPS 18

This is a good item. Though, I have to bring out my laptop computer to use it, it is still worth the effort because price is good and screen is big.
There was one downside. The equipment was not able to locate a few locations even though they were at very well known places, but I feel this software related problems would be with other GPSs as well.
When you install the software, follow the steps in the instruction.
Buy it!
Digital camera Review: GPS Review
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been trying out different GPS systems for a couple of years now, mainly laptop systems. This is by far the easiest and best for car travel. Small, easy to store/carry and hookup. Weaknesses: as pointed out by others, 1. The Outlook Contact defaults to home addresses. I would prefer business or give an option. 2. If the address is not perfect, it will not find it i.e. street vs. avenue. 3. The maps are a little cumbersome to load and figure out how to work with.
Overall, it is a slick system and very accurate on the turn announcement. The voice is not robotic like others I've used.

Don't attempt to operate this system on your own while in motion!
Everybody accepts the disclaimer at the opening of the application, but you simply can't be looking at the screen while the vehicle is in motion if you are driving!!!
Other than that, it will get you where you want to go if your right seat passenger doesn't mind operating the laptop, on their lap while driving...
If you have some way to mount a laptop in an easily visible position for the driver, different story. I don't have the option of mounting the unit & don't know anybody else that does, so it's usefulness really quite limited.
