 great July 19, 2008
The gps system works great. It is easy to navigate and find destinations. I use it mainly for long trips, but I dont use it as much as I could because sometimes I just keep driving around instead of pulling out my computer when I am in unfamilliar place. It is better than the handheld devices but a little less convenient.
laptop gps garmin July 10, 2008
i love my laptop garmin but it seems to lose signal more then the older garmin which pluged into to the cars cig lighter outlet. all in all it is great!
 GPS-18 & nRoute City Navigatior July 6, 2008
Don't attempt to operate this system on your own while in motion!
Everybody accepts the disclaimer at the opening of the application, but you simply can't be looking at the screen while the vehicle is in motion if you are driving!!!
Other than that, it will get you where you want to go if your right seat passenger doesn't mind operating the laptop, on their lap while driving...
If you have some way to mount a laptop in an easily visible position for the driver, different story. I don't have the option of mounting the unit & don't know anybody else that does, so it's usefulness really quite limited.
Garmin GPS 18 Sensor and nRoute software June 11, 2008
We are still learning to use the sensor and software on our laptop computer in our motorhome. We have only taken one trip using the same but are very pleased with the map and spoken directions.
Better than the GPS 10 by far March 27, 2008
5th Garmin product. I had the 10 for over a year and it NEVER worked correctly. Took over 30 min to set up each time. Wonderful when and if it worked. Gave up and trashed it and purchased the 18. WOW is it great; plug and play. Less than 1 min. Out Damn Standing. Still mad at Garmin but not like before.
