Nope. I'll bet it could be hacked, but it would still need an interface, keyboard, touchscreen etc. I think it works quite well for what it is though.

No it does not, it only displays the GPS portion of it when you remove the SD Card and play it in the program. It records your GPS location relevant to the real time camera image.

It uses the gps signal for speed and location of your car. You cannot get directions from it.
372326
Sorry to say but no it does not. It will, however, show your path when you play back the recorded files on top of Google maps on your PC.

No, the GPS receiver is only for logging your position. It is not a navigation system.

Yes. GPS works very well. I've used it while traveling in new york and was able to get directions.

It has GPS, but most people found the software implementation to be seriously lacking. It takes a while to update your position. I've read that this has been fixed in the FroYo pre-release that was leaked, though, so it may be better once the official release hits in September.

Technically yes, but it is the worst product I have ever bought. It is a touch screen, however, the screen is not responsive....hit a button about 20 times and it will finally respond. It also will shut off randomly and erase all of your settings you spent hours trying to put in. You cannot have the music playing while the GPS is on so if you are driving some where and need directions- plan on driving in silence, it cannot perform more than one function at a time. Had to pay to install it then pay again to take it back out. The customer service for the company was awful and took months to arrive, I definitely wouldn't recommend it.

Well, if you mean the in-dash radio that also functions as a GPS, then yes. If you mean a standalone gps, then no. In order to ensure compatibility, check to make sure that your factory or aftermarket radio has an RCA video input jack. More likely than not any aftermarket radio with display will have one, but often times factory radios are a bit more tricky.

No, the GPS is purchased with the lifetime map updates. Your GPS needs to be programmed to accept real time traffic, the cord facilitates the reception of the real time info. In other words, the lifetime option is for map updates and the real time traffic is part of the computer programming in the specific GPS you have. The cord doesn't work without the programming of the GPS.

It does not have GPS hardware for driving navigation. It will use Google Location services to show your current WiFi location

Yes it does and very well. I'm a Ontrac driver that uses streets n trips daily for my route and this GPS unit is 100% better then the Microsoft GPS.

As a genral GPS unit. It does give you a way back by reversing the route. I've never used it that way.

I have not gotten it to play music while I am using GPS. However, I didn't hook up all the extra wires either because the instructions suck! GPS map update? I don't know about updating GPS maps because the original seller should know this answer and they never respond. They always send us consumers questions to answer for others. Rear view camera at night? I don't know because first: I did not receive a camera from the seller even though they said that it was in the box and they lied to me. I bought my own camera and get this: There is a separate button you push to engage the rear view camera after you put it into reverse gear. Weird, right? What do you expect from non-US made products.

I don't think it would do well as a GPS for your car; however, I don't know why it would serve as a good GPS for the rest of the activities you mentioned. The great thing about it is the route creation feature. For example, if I want to do a 40 mile ride and am not familiar with the area, it allows me to ask it to produce a loop for a 40 mile ride from my current location. It will offer three alternative routes providing some information (e.g., distance and elevation), each around 40 miles. I then select one and hit start. Once I'm on the road on my bike, it gives me turn by turn instructions.

No. I bought this for my mother as a present. By the time it came for her to open it, it was to late to return.the GPS doesn't work at all. Can't get a map to any where

This is only a GPS transmitting device. Any navigation feutures depend on the apps installed on your iDevice.

It doesn't work without having the phone it is synchronized with in the car with you as you drive. The phone provides the data connection and the GPS tracking.

You will need a separate gps to direct you. It has no screen or voice guidance. Periodically pull unit and hook up to computer. It will upload data to webpage that gives mileage driven and where. I just use it to keep hours and to verify work for a sweeper truck each night.

No. All GPS receivers work by receiving the signal directly from the satellites. Al you have to do is turn the unit on and wait a few minutes for it to find the satellites in your area.
