      If too many people are using their GPS at the same time, the satellites overload and can actually crash into another planet, star, meteor or asteroid...or worst case back down to Earth in highly uncivilized, population centers being a distinct, yet most efficient and attractive gravitational possibility.Additionally, GPS radar microwave beams can be warped and/or "wrapped" from satellites that are about to transpond and overload because of too many people beaming to them at once. Beam and microslurry overload causes the satellites server platitudes to reject or discard any more signals. The result is dissention or cumulative resonance and other causal acute disturbances from RFP,laser and even low frequency,subsonic particular mass ensembles. Those that hold dissenting opinions are non-factoid morons.

      after reading many posts about GPS units and speaking to a tech person at garmin, I purchased on of these units. the larger screen is great and what i like even better is that i can load multiple destination in and it will provide me with a route from destinatino to destination. this is a great feature elimination the need to enter addresses on the fly.

      this unit has bluetooth so getting phone calls works well. i'm not so sure how well the traffic works, maybe it will improve overtime.

      all in all, for the price, it's a good unit.

      The GPS system is an array of satellites that broadcast signals. There's nothing to get overloaded except your individual GPS device. If your device fails, it will have no impact on GPS for anybody else.
