Tips on Finding the Best GPS Devices
What is a good way to find the
best GPS devices?
Why is it so difficult to find the
best GPS device? This article is designed to help you look at the
different GPS manufacturers and find the unit that meets your travel
needs.
All GPS devices start with one
main function - giving directions.
GPS units are all pre-programmed
with popular destinations that are called Points of Interest (POIs).
The challenge with finding the
best GPS device is in weighing cost versus options.
Although you can easily find a
number of GPS manufacturers, the top three are Garmin, Tom Tom, and
Magellan.
The No. 1 GPS manufacturer is
Garmin. Garmin's most economical GPS unit is the Nuvi 200 that can
be bought for less than $150.
Tom Tom is right in the rear-view
mirror behind Garmin.
Magellan opened the doors of the
GPS world.
Magellan's solid reputation is
well-known in the GPS industry.
Magellan offers AAA's Tour Book in
some of its GPS devices.
