There is no more chance of the government tracking you when you use a GPSr than when you listen to the radio...
There are 24 satellites in geosynchronous orbit and you need to receive a radio signal from 3 of them for a 2D fix and 4 for a 3D fix.
Most cell phones can definitely be tracked... A GPSr by itself cannot.

I rarely listen to the radio (but not because of the government).

That doesn't seem too complicated.

Well, since I don't own a cell phone either...

I'm really liking what I read about the Garmin StreetPilot c340. I'm still saving my pennies!

Stephen, I highly recommend the Tomtom One...they are the second largest manufacturer of GPS next to Garmin....but this standard model has many of the bells and whistles that the upper scale models have (and the comparable Garmin does not have the features that this one has...for that you have to go higher up in model)...I did some comparison shopping before purchasing mine about 2-3 months ago, and this was the best bang for the buck....see link below. It goes for $299

Thanks! I am actually leaning this way. Does it also give the phone number associated with the destination address?
