How can I repair a gps? I have a nextar gps that will trun on but stay on the loading screen. I tryed to let the internal battery run out recharged and same thing happens. I checked the website, they only accept returns on in warranty items and out of arranty site states go to a local electronics repair center. Can I fix this or ebay it I paid $300 for it.

Are external GPS units better or should I get a built-in one for my car? I have a dilemma. I have the option to get a car with an internal GPS unit using an internal hard drive....or, I can just buy an external one and stick it on my dash/window. The concern I have with the built-in GPS is if it breaks, or the hard drive fails after a few years. Will it bet REALLY expensive to repair/replace from the dealer? So I was wondering if I should just get an external GPS unit, since I can upgrade it in the future. I also won't have to worry about future GPS repairs for my car. What do you think?

GPS Midlands PDA Repair Birmingham - Do you know them? Good or Bad? I've sent my PC Phone to this company for repairs recently, but they are not returning my calls. They did call once with some pretty accurate info and promised to call back because I was driving, but nothing since. Have you or someone you know had dealings with this company. Is there something I can do to get my phone back? I do know they can't hide behind a PO Box number, but even if the news is bad, can you tell me your experience with this company? Thanks

How do I install an Add-a-Circuit to my 1997 Ford F-150. I need a new 12v ignition circuit.? I need to add a new 12v ignition line for stereo/gps unit. However, I don't know where to tap into/ how to install an new circuit. My truck is a 1997 F-150 5.4L. I have spent the last few days trying to figure out what is wrong with my car stereo, and have narrowed the problem down to a faulty 12v ignition wire. Instead of repairing it, I figure it is easier (and cheaper) to run a new line from an Add-a-Circuit kit. Thanks! (And all fuses are tested OK, so I don't know what the problem with the original line is.)

what do you do when a co-worker wont post your new and improved Bio for the Website? what is wrong with this? "Studying dune and dune-ish Terrains. Using Real-Time Kinematic GPS equipment to collect data about beaches, dunes, cliffs, marshes or whatever I get thrown into. Using short incomplete sentences with improper grammar. Researching better cleaning techniques for equipment. Checking out books at the VIMS Library for other people. Long walks on the beach. ATV Repair. Other fun stuff."

Did Newegg.com "Sellout"??? Does anyone else think that? I have to say that I am a old customer at newegg, but as of lately I feel as if newegg went from being: the best thing since "porn on tape" to a really greedy, sleazy salesman. Before you could return products, exchange them, the prices were cheaper and the shipping was almost always free. OK, i can't blame them for the higher prices, since the economy is so-so right now. But the extra rules and regulation they have now, make me angry. Through the extra rules and laws It is impossible now to get anywherr,it's more difficult to return stuff and replace/refound. **But now to the thing that really made me angry. I got a broken gps from them, so I send it back. I don't hear from newegg for 2 weeks and now they are sending me the broken gps back again, because they said I didn't include the $.99 usb cable. So I send it back, and now they want to give me a repaired gps!!! How wrong is that?!?! I had to pay for the shipping + I am without a $350 GPS for almost 2 months now

Buying a BMW 1993 with 130k miles, a good Idea? I found a 1993 325I on yahoo autos advertised for $4300. the seller claim that every thing in the car has been renewed including tires and a lot of other stuff. the car is equipped with every option I ever heard about except GPS. Is it a good car to buy vs a 2001 chevy cavalier with less options and not the same list of updates for 5500. will there be a problem doing any kind of repairs for it. here is the car link http://autos.yahoo.com/usedcars/detail/index.html;_ylt=AjK0GWFfTB3fvCIFZ0W6lMhJSMUF?cid=automobiles-220138672&dst=1.96&rsr=Yj0mbWFrZT1CTVcmbW9kZWw9JmNsX3k9JmNoX3k9JmNsX3ByaWNlPSZjaF9wcmljZT01MDAwJmNsX21pPSZjaF9taT0mY2s9Jmd1cj01MCZjc3o9NDkwMDYmdnR5cGU9YXV0b3MmbWs9Qk1XJm1vPQ-- is it possible to get some kind of a warranty from the seller (private party)? thanks to be more specific, can I expect to squeeze at least two years out of it without expensive (>$500) repairs, or there is a high possibility that it will just die and become irrepairable in few month.

TomTom GPS Problems - Has this happened to you? My TomTom worked for about 2 months before it completely died on me and wouldn't even turn on. It took me awhile to get around to sending it back to them for repair but I finally did and had to wait longer for it then what they told me. (1 Month). I received it back yesterday and charged it. While trying to set up my info it kept freezing up and I had to shut it off and retry. After about 20 times I finally got my address in there before I gave up. I tried charging on both home and auto chargers today and now the screen is slightly illuminated and doesn't turn on or off. I sat on hold for 45 minutes to see what TomTom has to say but finally couldn't wait anymore. The fact they sent me back a defective unit after waiting a month for it back really has me ticked. I've seen others had this problem, how did you get it resolved? What should I do? Any advice? I do not feel like I should have to pay to send it back again. Guess I should have purchased a different brand.

Tax-deducting business expenses.? I work as a field tech for a bank. This means that I have to do a lot (300+ miles/wk) of driving. Since I have a large area to cover, I was thinking about getting an in-car GPS like Tom-Tom. I talked to a friend about this, and he said that when I get my taxes done, I should deduct it as a business expense. Can I do that? Also, could I continue to deduct the cost of the subscription for years after the initial purchase? Last, I have to use my own car. I am reimbursed for mileage, but since 90% of my mileage comes from work, can I deduct the cost of oil changes, repairs, and maintenance? Thanks in advance

Lost and Confused, please help? Hello, I am at the point where i dont know what to do anymore with my relationship. I am 36 and my girlfriend is 28. She has 3 beautiful daughters i have been able to be a part in their lives. Weve been dating for 6 months, she has lived with me for 3 of those now. I understand it seems fast, but everything seemed perfect. I work thru webdesign and pc repair, and bring home decent pay. She worked at different factory jobs and was doing minumum wage. No biggie to me, she was happy and money doesnt mean much to me, i look for more important things in people. Ok, here goes...when i started to notice there was a problem was when she started her most recent job 2 1/2 months ago. She just lost her previous job when she got sick with strep throat. This job of hers has her working 2nd shift, 3 pm to 3 am, 12 hour days, 6 days a week, with 2 hours of travel to and from work. Her hourly wage is alot more also, so she likes the extra cash. We talked before when she was at her 2nd shift job she used to have, and she quit to get a 1st shift job so she had more time with her kids. Ever since she started this job, our relationship has really done a downward spiral. We used to laugh all the time, she was always so affectionett to me, always sitting by me close and holding my hand. Our sex life was great, even though her ex really did horrific things to her in her marraige. Now she is always too tired, or some other excuse. Its almost completely gone. She used to never snap at me or have a look of disgust on her face when we talked. She has compared me to her abusive ex, and ive never hit her or would ever strike a lady, im a man not a loser. When she rejects me when we start to become intimate, it really hurts me. Sometimes i just roll over and suddennly she wants to again. Heres the problem...I feel like i cant say anything to her without her not wanting to talk about it, or getting angry. She told me out of the blue 2 weeks ago, her marriage is still on. She never finished filing for divorce. Her husband is in prison for a very long time. She lied to me, i would have never fallen for a married women. But now its too late, im too far involved and too much has been put into this relationship. I forgave her, i really did, i admired her for being able to get that off her chest as she tends to keep things in alot. After that, things started to get really bad, she used to call me from work and hate it when the bell sounded because she had to go, now her 10 minute breaks we talk for maybe 2-3 minutes and she always has to go for something. Then i caught her in another lie last weekend. She told me she was getting out of work at 11 pm, and was excited because after all the 12 hour days, you get time from work. She normally gets home at 11:50 or 11:55. She arrived home at 12:55 am, 1 hour later then she has ever been. We have a gps system on our cells, and i located her in the same area for 45 minutes. She came home and explained she used the bathroom at the gas station and talked to the girl running the register for a while. Note, weve always told each other our plans. It bothered me because i called her a few times and no answer. I was concerned at the time she may have got in a accident as she doesnt get much sleep. The next night, friday, she got out at 11 again, but didnt call me on her way. Again, my gut felt funny and i went and used the gps system again and seen she was on the highway heading home, i just though it was odd she didnt call, she has always called on her way home. 12:05 came around and now i was getting concerned from the other nights suspicions. I tracked her to the same spot again for 45 minutes or so. I called and left messages asking her to call so i knew she was ok. She called me back at 12:20 am saying she just got outta work and will be home soon, one big lie. We talked till she got home, i never let on i knew. When she got home, she was acting all cheery and asked if i wanted sex. I asked her again, when did you get outta work, she said midnite again. I asked again and said i know you got out at 11 pm. I then confronted her with print outs of where she was. She broke down crying, saying she feels like shes having a nervous breakdown and doesnt have any friends to talk to. She and a guy from worked Bob, maybe 50-55 years old, she said a father figure type, sat in a gas station parking lot and she said all she did was cry. I told her i didnt care if she had friends and needed to talk, just not to lie about it. She said yeah right...like i was her ex that abused her. She seems to compare me to him alot, makes me feel i have to be me and not him at the same time. We talked for a long time and she is in such bad shape, she thinks shes not pretty, smart, or deserving of love. She even suggested we stop seeing each other. Im not going to give up on her like others have in her life and told her that. I then told her i forgave her for lying to me, she said she wasnt looking to be forgiven, whatever that means. She told me she doesnt know anymore if she wants to spend her life with me anymore. That really hurt hearing that. The next day, Sunday, we spent at her mothers, and then to her sisters. She acted like she still wanted me, she held my hand and squeezed it again. She put her head on my shoulders at her moms. She kissed me in the car passionately for the 1st time in a long time. Then yesterday, i had things really eating up at me. I found this site and look at warning signs. She had alot of them. Now monday came and she got home at normal time, 4:00 am, and she asked me to set the alarm for 5:30 am so she could see her oldest before school. She then said she wanted to bring her to school, then her youngest to school, which wasnt till 12:00 pm in the afternoon. She said she had things to do, but then said later she was going to drop one off, sit in town, drop the other and go to work really early. After hearing that, i asked to talk to her and just spilled all. Told her how much it hurt when she said things like that and past things to meto me, and how she makes me feel like im worthless. We ended up cuddling, i had my arm around her and she slept on my arm. She is the one who moved over to cuddle. During the night, my arm was dead and i had to move it, she felt it move and grabbed it and held my arm to her chest. %:30 am came around, and i went to wake her and she didnt move or want to get up, so i made sure her middle child and oldest got ready for school. Went back to bed and cuddled again. Got up and got her youngest to school and again, cuddled back in bed. She slept till 12:30 pm, which made me feel better anyway. Why would she say she was going to do those things, then dont do it? Im thinking she wanted to hurt me or something again. Today i decided to let her call me, to see if she would. she did, and we even laughed a few times. She is really a great girl, shes had so many issues from childhood to that ex that abused her mentally and psycally. Here were my flaws...I would get upset when she kept rejecting me for sex, it really hurt because i thought i was disgusting and rejection hurts. One time i said, i was going for a walk, honestly i really was to cool down i live on a lake and walks are nice. She took that as i was going to cheat on her if she didnt have sex. And i admit, at times i did use that to get sex, but not all the time. Then another time, her oldest is starting to fail some classes, she told me she misses her mom and wishes she was home. She said that 4-5 times now to me. Her youngest 2 act up alot, and always ask wheres Momma. I work at home if i didnt mention that before. When my gf called at lunch, we had a heated talk, and i asked her if she was still looking for a 1st shift job, and she said no. Then i told her what her kids have been telling me, and she needed to be here and this job is hurting her family. She then said she likes where she is (even though she can barely move every morning) and wont do 1st shift. I then broke up with her and hung up. I realized then, i made a mistake and told her then phone hung up before i finished my sentence, i know i shouldnt have lied, but i paniced. She said she got sick the rest of night at work and almost lost her job (that and previous crying episodes i knew nothing off till this weekend). I told her this weekend, i was truely sorry, and i have learned from my mistakes and wont make them again, and honestly, i have. Is there still a chance for us? I love this girl and her children, her children really love me too. I see things like last night how she held me close and wouldnt let go as she still thinks of me as her lifemate. Thanks to all who respond, i really need to know what to do.

My Navigon 2100 LCD screen is broken Do anyone Know where i can get it fixed? I called the navigon company and also the store that i bought it from. But the company said that the warranty doesnt cover a broken screen only water damage. But i dont understand that because the GPS would be in the car so it wouldnt get wet. So right now im tryin to figure out where i can go and fix it. I also bought the extended warranty but that didnt help so i jus cancelled that. i live in the west palm beach area. i need to find a place where i can repair this screen right away because im going to be traveling alot for the next 2 or 3 month. By the way the Navigon still works its just that i cant use it because the screen is broken so when i touch the screen there is no response.

Ipod Classic or Zune 80? Which one should I get? I'm joining the military and I need to get rid of my bulky CD collection and get a small device. Note: I want to be able to take it on air craft carriers with me, so it can't be a device with GPS or such like the iPhone that would give away the ship's location. I'm torn between the Ipod Classic and the Zune 80. Here's what features are important to me: ~ Ability to get songs from CD to Ipod/Zune (via a desktop computer) and backup music to a computer ~ Cost of each song/video/subscription ~ Cost, quality, and availability of accesories (for example, if Zune accesories are hard to come by, or they're pieces of junk, that's not good) ~ Durability and Quality in both hardwear and softwear (no glitches or need of constant repair) ~ Video (and I would like details about this one. Can you get entire movies on your Ipod/Zune? I love the screen size of the Zune, but I'm told that the images are grainy or something?) ~ Pictures (not that big of a deal) OR... I could get an iPod Touch. Errr! So many options! lol

Can installing a car radio damage your heather/AC? Hello, I recently purchased an 2007 Chevy Equinox, I took it to the dealer today to have the heater/AC repaired (Air only blows out top vents, and feet vents. The vents at face level do not work.) The dealer says the Radio/GPS I had installed may of damaged it. The Radio was a in-dash Pioneer GPS Navigation, DVD, CD, XM Radio and back up camera in which was installed by a reputable company. The dealer claims this voided the Platinum warranty we paid upwards of $5,000 for less then a month ago. We have spoke with other dealerships and they require me to bring it in and pay them. The dealership I bought the car from has been so far nothing but a scam, Which is why I am needing further information. Can installing a Pioneer In-Dash GPS in place of a factory radio in-deed damage the Heater/AC - The Air Blows out of the Defroster and top of the dash vents only, the main vents on the front of the dash at head level do not blow. Your assistance would be appreciated.
