The ultimate in GPS spy and surveillance equipment. This GPS vehicle tracking system allows you to monitor where a car or vehicle has been, the speed that it traveled, and start and stop times. All of this information is tracked right down to useable street level detail. These units are perfect for monitoring the activity of personal vehicles, company cars and fleet vehicles.\nThe Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide radio-navigation system formed of 24 orbiting satellites and their ground stations. Launched and maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense, these satellites send a stream of signals to the earth's surface enabling a GPS receiver to calculate accurate positions within about 10 feet or less.

Recommended it? Yes

Lots of pros and cons to this unit-- I got mine for $50 on ubid, so I didn't pay much for it at all.

CONS:I've discovered that this thing EATS batteries! It is constantly accessing or trying to find satellites, which consumes the batteries... you can watch the battery meter slowly going... Read full review »

Inexpensive, and works that way

Pros Inexpensive for a GPS that accepts detailed maps.
Cons Poor performance, map software use difficult, eats batteries, port covers not secure
Recommended it? No

After looking for an entry-level GPS unit, this one seemed too good to be true. On sale with a full US street map CD set for $140!

The disappointments started when I loaded the Whistler Map CD software. There's no setup program, so I copied everything over from the two CDs manually. The... Read full review »

Pros Simple Setup
Cons Difficult to Use, Lacks features
Recommended it? No

I used this for about 10 minutes before boxing it up and sending it straight back. While it is very cheap, it unfortunately feels that way and has a squirrelly UI, not to mention poor signal acquisition. I'd go with a Garmin or a TomTom over this just about any day of the week. I... Read full review »
