My friend took my TomTom GPS to NYC last year. Doesn't work
downtown, none do as confirmed by cab drivers he asked.

What's the problem? Can't lock onto the GPS satellites?

By the way, just in case it isn't clear... GPS is a passive system. Contrary
to stuff you sometimes see on television, the receiver does not transmit to
the satellite.
