If I need to bring up where the car was at a past time/place, does it do that? Multiple data points (as in, a path of travel). Is a SIM REQUIRED?

No sim method: insert an SD card an configure to track every few min. You can then remove the SD card and download the data. SIM method: A SIM is required for any remote tracking. Two ways to look at history...(1) set the unit to transmit every few minutes via a GPRS connection to a website - try orange.gps-trace.com. The data can be viewed for 30 days. (2) set the unit to save the data to the SD card, then send the data to the website via GPRS command when you want to see history. Hope this helps.

yes you can have the car path points but it need a special program on your pc and need to subscribe with pay site to do that and sure you need sim card if you want it online or use sd card if you want to know it offline

I have found that it does not pay any attention to the info you put in. My roadmate tries to put me on a parkway (cars only Low bridges). I do not trust the unit and always check the route it gives. My advice would be to change the info when you are using it for the truck. My wife bought the GPS even after I told her about bad reviews.

Sorry but the only way of verifying that is to ride beside a car. Using a GPS wouldn't be accurate. I haven't done either one.

Yes, you can set multiple way points (destinations). You can also select your route by fastest, shortest, major roads etc. Unit has many options.

Yep, that is it. It merely transmits data from your cars computer to the app. The app has the real power (which in it's current state is limited)

Yes it does, it may vary according to your carrier, but it gives you exact location of your vehicle.

I believe it does. You can add it to, for example, a Redline which has no GPS. It will use the GPS in your phone. But the lockouts are MANUALLY done by the user. It can also reduce some falses on a Max because it knows the Posted Speed Limit. If you are below the Posted Speed Limit it will not do a normal alert. It will go into "Cruise" mode with a short alert and go silent.

There is an 'up ahead' feature that displays on the right side of the screen. You can choose what to display (up to 3) and it shows (typically) next gas, next rest stop, next food (on your route). If you don't have a destination it won't display anything in this area. If there is a traffic issue ahead, that will display in this area instead but can be "X" closed if you wish.

Well, it depends how one interprets that question. If you want it to track how far you've traveled in a database (or electronic log file) so you can go back and review your mileage later then NO. However, if you want to tell how many miles you are RIGHT NOW from a stable or trail head (and which direction to travel as the crow flies to get back to your point of origin), then YES. This device only tracks REAL TIME information, and does not store or log anything other than your current location and direction from 1 - 3 way points you've actually traveled to and marked on the device.

No however you do not get real time tracking, the unit has to be placed in or on the vehicle and then removed and information downloaded post journey.It seems the most reasonable item out there for the money, i.e. once you have paid for it that's it. It does burn through batteries and if the batteries fail half way through a trip then you seem to lose the rest of the data. It works for us doing random vehicle tracking on day journeys, it may not work if used for a several day road trip.

Yes. They have a Trip Planner app. You add way points as desired and it will route you via those points. I added planed rest and picnic stops and got est. of arrival time for the leg I was on as well as miles to go. I also got the program "Trip & Waypoint Manager" after I left on my last trip. You install on you computer, plan your tip and then transfer info to GPS unit. Unfortunately my parents have borrowed the unit so I cannot test how well this will work. My first impression is that the program is not that great but I really can't say until I get my GPS back. Craig

I don't think it would do well as a GPS for your car; however, I don't know why it would serve as a good GPS for the rest of the activities you mentioned. The great thing about it is the route creation feature. For example, if I want to do a 40 mile ride and am not familiar with the area, it allows me to ask it to produce a loop for a 40 mile ride from my current location. It will offer three alternative routes providing some information (e.g., distance and elevation), each around 40 miles. I then select one and hit start. Once I'm on the road on my bike, it gives me turn by turn instructions.

Yes it ghas everything. In the navigation part you have to change the state when putting in your destination. From there as you putting your destination address it should show everything. But keep in mind some roads may have two or more meaning old and new name. So as a reference cross check the name through google maps to make sure everything is correct before puttung it in your gps.

It remembers where you left off. I have no idea whether it works differently in a car.

Yes. During setup I was able to select miles or KM. I hope this info helps.

Yes, it will recalculate and give you the shortest route to your designated location if you miss a turn or choose to take another route. It will adjust based on your gps location.

I don't know for sure William, but I think it does. At least, a few days ago our Garmin (in a shared car) gave me directions as soon as I started the car (and I wasn't the one who'd entered that information).
