Road Tech Quest

Remember the days when you had to pull over on the side of the road, pull out your ragged map, and hope you could figure out where the hell you were, where you were going, and how to get there? Once you figured out where you were, you had to and packed your AAA travel book so you could find a decent hotel to rest and get your bearings straight? Well, with this slick set up, those days are gone. Now all you have to do is take a quick glance at the Road Tech Quest GPS unit, and it will tell you where you are going. That's right! This thing will actually talk to you (if you don't mind an updated female version of HAL) with the addition of auxiliary audio cable.
According to the Road tech Quest owner's manual, GPS is a satellite-based navigation comprising a network of 24 satellites put into orbit by Department of Defense for military applications. In the '80s, has made the system for civilian use. Unaffected by weather, the system works anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, and there are so fees or setup charges.
Inside the Road tech Quest is a receiver which receives transmitted signals from the orbiting satellites. The quest takes the information from the satellite and uses triangulation to calculate your exact location. The receivers then compares the time a signal was transmitted with the time it was received. The time difference tells the receiver how far away the satellites is. With the distance measurements from several other satellites, the receiver can display your position on map page. To calculate 2-D position (latitude and longitude), the GPS must be locked onto at least three satellites. However, with four or more satellites, the receiver can determine a 3-D position (latitude, longitude, and altitude), calculate the time, your speed, trip distance, as well as sunrise and sunset.
Don't be fooled by it's compact size, the Road Tech Quest GPS is packed wiyh tons of features. Aside from telling you or displaying where you are, the unit will also give you turn-by-turn directions, display of variety of information such as your speed, miles traveled, and distance to next turn. The Road Tech Quest will also find location such as hotels, restaurants, and even Harley dealerships. The screen measures 1,5 inches wide by 2,2 inches high and features a 256-color high resolution display.
The unit can store 114 megabytes of upload able map storage. Using the map source software on your PC, you can load maps/routes onto quest based on your needs. If you spend a lot of time in a specific area, you can utilize a big chunk of memory storage to provide a very detailed map of the area.
