The Truth About Reviews of Car GPS Units
It's very tempting to just look at the latest
reviews of car GPS units and go out and buy whatever they recommend!
Consumer Reports had a story recently, where
they recommended five or so of the top car GPS's.
The problem with reviews of car GPS units is
the reviewer can only recommend a few models. What if there are a number of good
buys at various price points? (This is the case for the GPS marketplace.)
What the Consumer Reports article left out
were great GPS units in the lower and higher price ranges. So, if you're an
entry level buyer you might have read the article and decided that today just
was not your day to buy that GPS you've been dreaming about.
If you're a high-end buyer, then you might
have gone out and bought a GPS you would have been disappointed with.
To begin with let's look at a few of the GPS
units Consumer Reports recommended.
Their overall best units was the Garmin nuvi
760. Although it's hard to say that's the absolute best unit for
everyone, the nuvi 760 really is a great GPS receiver!
There's the Garmin nuvi 200, the Tom Tom One,
3rd Edition, or the Magellan Maestro 3100. All three of these are excellent
entry level units.
Tom Tom has an excellent mid-priced unit--the
Tom Tom GO 920T.
What's so exciting is there are GPS units
available at prices virtually everyone can afford.
