GPS Ratings

Reviews, links, and resources about Car Electronics: Car Audio, Car Video, Car GPS and More

Thanks to the Global Positioning System a.k.a. GPS.

As adapted by the general public for use, several companies have introduced handheld GPS devices. Upon its release in the market, these devices are then reviewed by a number of evaluating bodies and are given corresponding GPS ratings.

Handheld GPS are generally manufactured for navigation purposes. The GPS ratings of these devices are generally taken to indicate quality in terms of functionality and performance.

Although GPS ratings are most of the time accepted as a numeric equivalent of product quality, the bias of subjectivity on the part of the assessors can sometimes be a very significant determinant. It is therefore advisable to contrast the function of the GPS receiver to the intended use of the product.

With the establishment of online forums and surveys, coming up with GPS ratings through random and/or convenience sampling has never been easier.

As an implication, GPS ratings received by a particular GPS receiver model through online forums and surveys via convenience sampling have no or little validity at all.

The rampant usage of handheld GPS receivers has been a trend for the past years. Even then, this incorporation did not prohibit the growth of GPS handheld receivers industry.

Presumably, this latest product will eventually garner higher GPS ratings than the rest.

GPS Ratings - Key to Finding the Best System

Specialized GPS systems can be close to $10,000, while those designed for general consumer use can be hundreds. Even simple GPS tracking systems used for just exercise purposes can cost over $100. One can do this by reviewing and evaluating GPS ratings.

Online stores are the first type of sites that can offer GPS ratings and reviews. These ratings are usually given by other people who have purchased the product.

The potential buyer sees how many ‘stars' a product received along with the evaluation of other buyers. Ideally the advantage of using ratings through this method is that buyers have no ulterior motive when they rate the product they purchased. Other sites including those from the manufacture or distributors are design to help you purchase their products. When it comes to buying, online comparison sites usually do not offer products for sale directly from their URL. Most of them will allow one to purchase through affiliate links, which are posted on the site. These affiliate links direct the visitor to the appropriate online store.

Again GPS ratings from this source must be tempered with caution.

Blogs that discuss GPS system technology are another source of ratings that can be used to compare GPS products. If you plan on purchasing a GPS receiver, it would be wise to first visit a number of websites containing credible GPS ratings. These can be from online stores, comparison sites or third-party sites created by individuals. Through these ratings one can get an idea of how effective and reliable a GPS unit is without risking an investment.
