Traveling with your laptop on business or vacation? Garmin's GPS 18 global-positioning sensor is a simple, convenient, and inexpensive way to turn your PC laptop into a personal navigator. The GPS sensor is bundled with nRoute and City Select navigation software that automatically guides you with turn-by-turn directions and voice prompts to get you safely to your destination.

Similar to Garmin's MapSource software, nRoute features an easy-to-use interface, making its operation intuitive so you can focus on driving. It offers auto-routing and voice-prompting capabilities for virtually any address.

The GPS 18 package also includes City Select North America map data with detailed maps of the United States and select cities in Canada. This data is fully unlocked, and map detail includes highways, interstates, business roads, and residential roads, with turn restrictions, speed categories, and other navigation features. Its more than 5 million points of interest include restaurants, lodging, attractions, shopping, emergency services, post offices, among others.

The GPS 18 includes a 12-parallel-channel, WAAS-enabled sensor/receiver just 2.4 inches in diameter with an integrated magnetic base. The receiver connects to your PC via a CMOS-level, DB-9-pin serial interface with 6.5-foot cable and a 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter. The unit accepts TIA-232-F (RS-232) level inputs and transmits voltage levels that swing from zero V (ground) to 5 V TIA-232-F (RS-232) polarity.

What's in the Box
GPS 18 sensor with PC connection, 12-volt adapter, integrated magnetic base, automotive windshield mount, nRoute with City Select North America map data (full unlock), owner's manual, and a quick-start guide.

This review is from: Garmin 18 Deluxe PC and Serial Interface GPS Sensor with nRoute and City Select Navigation Software (Electronics)

Easy to set up on PC and the software is fairly intuitive. Turn-by-turn directions are superb, don't pay attention and it is like having a professional nag. Great product for guys who won't ask for directions.

Large display of upcoming streets is nicer than trying to find streets signs, especially at night.

Most users with newer laptops should order the USB version. Most new computers don't have serial interfaces.
