I’m a huge fan of GPS. I’ve got a Compaq iPaq PocketPC mounted to my windshield using a suction cub device connected to a Destinator GPS antenna (http://www.destinator1.com) and running Destinator 3.0 GPS software/maps. They license the same maps used by Mapquest from a company called NavTech. So whether you’ve cursed Mapquest for improper directions or thanked the Almighty for the convenience of Mapquest, will determine how accurate you think Destinator’s maps are. Actually, in my opinion, the Destinator maps are quite good and they include POIs (Points of Interest) categories that include gas, restaurants, casinos, shopping, airports, and more. You can check out my review of their older 2.0 version here: http://www.planetpdamag.com/content/062602tk.htm I'm actually running Destinator 3.0 (much improved) now. I should probably do another review, shouldn't I? Ok, maybe in a week or so I will.

vehicle tracking is the process by which vehicles are tracked by managers, fleet managers, and personal vehicle tracking users. By tracking your vehicles (or your 'assets') it is said that you can cut down on costs, by eliminating employee down time, and making sure that working hours reflect contractual agreements. So not only is vehicle tracking being used to pinpoint vehicle locations, it is also being used as an integral part of cost leadership strategies.

Can anyone who has owned both a Garmin and a Tomtom GPS navigation unit tell me which one they liked better and briefly why?
I think that everyone should look for the following in any navigation system:
-Points-of-Interests (POI) “ The more points of interest loaded into the unit the better the chances of you finding a destination with minimal information.
-Hard-Drive- Maps are pre-loaded onto your unit, updates are as easy as downloading new maps from your PC and loading them onto your NAV Hard Drive via SD Card or DVD. Most Hard-drive NAVs will allow you to Update your POI for your area.
-DVD-ROM - Maps are loaded onto a DVD which must be inserted into the System in
order to you're the Navigation Feature. New updated DVDs must be purchased as years go on in order to stay current with the growth of your area. For more cat info, check out my blog Car Audio
