looking for a new laptop gps anyone?
I was going to look for a new laptop and get off the tablet I mostly use now, Going full time in the near future makes keeping the desktop unit impractical. With Amazon, Bestbuy and Helmart all hold...

I've been using DeLorme GPS for long years till bought vehicles with build-in GPS.
Still for planning I would fire up my big laptop, where I could verify the route, what quite often was giving me long detours, or lot of unnecessary turns in city.
Last antenna and software I bought was in 2015 and looks like computer GPS lost the market at this time.
I hold to my 2015 Street Atlas Plus, as it has phone book and driving in the past with trailer - I was able to find tire shop and call in advance when I needed new tire.
Nice to have phone book with addresses where you don't have phone coverage, or even when you do.
I have GPS with live traffic on my android, but it sucks lot of data, what with my prepaid is not making it practical.
Still - would I need new GPS, I would not buy 1 without live traffic.
Have it on new truck and even you still have to evaluate it for overreaction, it is great help.
For some reason the software will lead you into 25 miles detour, becouse of 3 minutes traffic delay on main road.
