Do I need to pay for GPS service?

Niranjan asked:

If I want to buy a GPS device for vehicle tracking, what are the fixed/recurring costs involved, apart from the cost of GPS device. Do I need to pay some one for GPS service?

    Only when you want to update your maps, and even those sometimes can be downloaded for free. Mine uses an SD card so thats what I do.

    Otherwise, its the initial cost of the device and thats all.

    QVC was advertising one that looked very appealing to me. It is about $400.00. It is portable, so you don’t lose it when you trade in your vehicle. I don’t know of a continued fee to keep you functional. They did say that there was a built in feature to keep it updated. I don’t understand all how this works. (obviously) All the more reason for someone like me to own one. A good homing device for the mother. Ha ha!
