Orion I take it that you have a fully fledged Sat-Nav system (portable) is that correct?? The difference between that and a "GPS" unit is the mapping and routing data that they contain both use the same GPS satellites to obtain time and position data second by second, but the Sat-nav system then correlates that against internal map and street data to calculate a travel ath for you from point A to point B, in many cases taking into account yoru preference for shortest path or quickest path or avoiding toll roads or sticking to major roads, etc, etc.
If you could post the make and model you have it woudl clarify sat-nav vs GPS.
I used to sell these and other fun/tech items in a previous lifetime, oops I meant career - just over a year ago. I would often bring them home to make sure all the initial configuration was ready for each customer. Most of these systems are great and work very well indeed.
