The Truth About Buying Automobile GPS Units!

Automobile GPS units have become the rage lately! It's not wonder, especially with gas prices.

Automobile GPS units are notoriously hard to buy! Oh, it's easy enough to spend your money on one. The problem is getting the right unit for you and your needs.

If you're interesting in buying an automobile GPS but just haven't made the purchase yet, this article should straighten you out.

Who Makes Automobile GPS Units?

There are a number of manufacturers in the U. S. market, but the big three are Garmin, Tom Tom, and Magellan. Garmin sells about half the GPS's sold in the U. S.. Tom Tom sells about 20%, and Magellan sells slightly less than 20%.

What Do Automobile GPS Units Do?

All GPS units do essentially the same thing. 

Other features you want to consider are wider screens, Bluetooth, more extensive maps, actually saying the names of the streets, and real-time traffic and weather.

(It's not wide screen, however.)

If you want all this capability and the wider screen, think about the Magellan Maestro 4250.

One thing Magellan offers that Garmin and Tom Tom do not is the renowned AAA Tour Book right in the memory of the device.

What About Cost?

You can spend anywhere from $150 to $900 for automobile GPS units. Although there's a lot of competition at the lower end, Garmin pretty much has the upper end of the marketplace sewn up. If you want the lastest cutting edge GPS technology, then the Garmin nuvi 880 might be the right unit for you.

Now that you know a little about how the automobile GPS marketplace works, you can more confidently start looking for the particular device you want to buy.
