I mean taxi drivers make money based on how long the trip is right? So wouldn’t it make sense if their GPS systems were a little “tweaked”

M J asked:


Do GPS systems tell you when to turn beforehand (ex 200 ft before the turn) AND right when your supposed to turn? I was curious on getting one and was curious. If anyone could help, it would be appreciated!
…sorry about the repetition of ‘curious’!

Kristie S asked:


I am looking at buying a GPS system, nothing fancy…just the basic directions…but would love to have the option of knowing the traffic before I get there. I am looking at TomTom, Magellen and Garmin.

Hi, I’ve been thinking about getting one of those GPS navigational systems for my car. After the initial expense of purchasing one, is there a monthly fee or anything to operate it? How do you update the maps etc. on it?
