Cheap
GPS Units For Cars
|
If you are planning to travel, but have a hard time finding a
GPS unit that has features that you need, you might want to find a
GPS unit that's an affordable one.
Most of the low-budget GPS units cost somewhere below $200
and if you see a device with a higher price, it's not a budget GPS
unit anymore. The only features that a budget GPS unit should have
are: Lots of POI's (Points of Interest) in the database (e.g. the
Garmin Nuvi 205 has 6 million of them), a detour function, an
easy-to-use interface and of course, a large map database that has
pre-loaded maps of your area. Most of the GPS systems have an
anti-theft alarm, as the trends are showing that the theft of the
GPS systems has increased quite a lot as they've become more
popular. |
If possible, you should seek for a unit that has
additional features. Most GPS units, even low-end ones, offer a wide
variety of features that can come in handy. Some of the GPS
units also come with useful features like the Garmin's "Where
am I?" emergency feature - a feature, which allows to call
emergency directly from the unit, save your current location in an
address or locate nearby services, such as hospitals, police
stations and many more.
Overall, it's easy to get a cheap GPS unit that can be
used in a car and become a proud user of a GPS unit. If you have
some experience using GPS, the TomTom 125 would be a great choice,
as it costs below $100 and offers a lot of features for that price
category. (by Kazi Niyaz )
