From the Manufacturer
Designed to give users access to the most advanced satellite navigation technology available, the GPS 1080 DLX 12-channel receiver offers a host of sophisticated features and capabilities. The unit's exclusive Accelerated Satellite Acquisition Protocol II technology (ASAP II) gets you up and running up to twice as fast as other recreational GPS receivers and provides superior reception in urban areas, canyons, and dense foliage. The receiver is also compatible with the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), which was originally implemented by the FAA to provide improved GPS navigation for aircraft. The WAAS system consists of 25 ground-based transmitters located throughout the U.S. The precise location of each transmitter is maintained, and each location is compared to GPS distance measurements. Corrections are uplinked and broadcast via satellite. WAAS-compatible GPS units receive this extra satellite signal, which provides accuracy within as little as 3 meters.

The GPS 1080 DLX comes pre-programmed with continental U.S. highways, state, Canadian provincial, and European country boundaries. The unit also lets you program and store up to 50 different navigational routes using up to 50 points in each route. Users can also store up to 500 waypoints with names and symbols. Consumers can use the included Rand McNally Base Map software, PC interface cable, and 32 MB Secure Digital memory card to transfer data and take advantage of the unit's powerful mapping functions. Additional features include mapping capabilities for navigating roads, highways, intersections, addresses, and points of interest; the ability to track your travel and retrace your route (up to 10 separate tracks); a display that tracks current position, altitude, bearing, time of day, speed of travel, average speed throughout trip, and estimated time of arrival; and an easy-to-use rocker panel that operates like a joystick. The GPS1080 DLX is waterproof to IPX7 standards and can operate in temperatures from 5 to 158 degrees F.

Customer Reviews

Cobra GPS not worth the price
I purchased the Cobra GPS for my husband, and it won't even show the location of our new house. The elevation is different everytime we try to use it. It is difficult to use and doesn't tell you how to get somewhere. Use the money for a down payment on a different product.
