Best Car GPS - How to Find It

To find the best car GPS, you must first define what you need and expect from the GPS.
 
There are many options available in car GPS units and manufacturers are adding additional options with each new model that is released.
 
Currently, here are some of the available options to consider:
  • Text to speech (speaks street names)
  • Wide screen
  • Lane assist
  • Land assist with junction view
  • Bluetooth® wireless
  • MP3 player
  • Photo viewer
  • FM lifetime traffic
  • Preloaded map options
  • MSN® Direct

and the list goes on and on.
 
First, define what options you need. I highly recommend that you pay the additional amount to purchase a GPS that speaks street names. 

If you live in a metro area where you have to contend with daily traffic problems, then consider the FM lifetime traffic option. If you want to use the GPS with other Bluetooth® capable devices, then consider that option.
 
The best place to search for your best car GPS is on Amazon. 
 
On Amazon, GPS units are listed in the Electronics Department so begin by selecting "Electronics" in the left drop down search box. Then enter "gps" in the right search input box and click the orange "Go" button to the right of the search boxes.

Look in the rectangle for "See Most Popular in:" with a list of GPS types listed across the page. Click the "Vehicle" link in this list.
 
This will display all vehicle GPS sorted in bestselling order. The search results will fill several pages so you can browse through these search results pages to find the best car GPS that meets your requirements in your price range.(by Casey_Brown)

What is the Best Car GPS For You?

Global positioning system (GPS) devices have experienced an explosion in their growth and popularity, especially in the auto industry.

The sales of Car GPS devices are expected to continue to grow at this rapid rate, according to Yahoo Tech News. GPS devices are now being included for popular gadgets such as camera, mp3 players, and smart phones.

Car GPS devices have become a very competitive market.

When comparing car GPS devices, it is important to take into consideration how many features you require: Do you only need the basic navigation features to get you know A to B, or do you need more? Some of the most popular features on today's devices are:

  • Live traffic updates
  • Bluetooth Connectivity
  • Multi Route Planning
  • Voice Guided Turn by Turn Directions
  • Speech Recognition
  • Photos/mp3s

Taking all these features into consideration, the best cheap car GPS that provides the most value for the money is the Garmin Nuvi 255W.

The Garmin nuvi 255W also has voice guided turn by turn directions, but unfortunately, it will not recognize spoken commands.

The two main features that make the Navigon 7200t stand out are its state of the art voice recognition system that understands your spoken commands, and its lifetime subscription to live traffic update service.

Now back to the voice recognition software. The voice recognition software on this unit is excellent.(by John V._W._Howe)
