Does a GPS system from New York work in Hawaii?
I am an individual living in New York and I have a GPS System that can be reloaded with software. I will be traveling to Hawaii in July and would like to know if the GPS system from NY works in Hawaii?

If you can load maps, then yes, it would work. Maybe even without loading new maps... try it out from home. I have a Garmin in California and have looked up and saved addresses on the maps in Hawaii in preparation for my next vacation.

Yes. It will give you starting location, and ending latitude longitude. I used one for several years flying an ultralight aircraft. Then the maps were expensive. Mine did not have maps. Still very handy for giving ground speed and giving directions back to airport. You need to check if your maps cover the state of Hawaii. Your unit will work anywhere in the world.

GPS stands for global postioning satellite -focus on the word Global.

Yes, it will work in Hawaii. In fact, it should work all over the planet, except in the polar regions. I have a Garmin GPS. For the maps, I use the MapSource USA Topo package which has detalied maps of all 50 states. Prior to any trip, I upload the map of the state or region I am visiting and I am ready to go. Good luck and Aloha!
