Question regarding GPS:

If I purchase a GPS unit, do I have to pay some kind of monthly fee for it?

GPS is free.Buy the receiver and it works forever.

However, most people want more than latitude, longtitude, altitude, and time. Each product has its own policies,set by the business model of the company. Some companies give away their programs but charge for the maps. Others bundle programs and maps. Still others bundle all with a GPS receiver and/or the display device.

I think he meant will it be physically ok.

It should be fine…but many people have had their TR HDD’s crash…so they are a bit fragile.
