On the market a dozen offers gps navigation and make the people headache how to choose their car gps. Read this tips!
- Check the local laws. Check the laws in your area and the mount types available before you buy. Most manufacturers include a plastic disk that sticks to the dashboard to provide an alternative mounting location.
- What type of driving do you do? If you spend most of your time commuting along the same route or running local errands on familiar roads, you might not benefit from route guidance, unless you face traffic congestion. Even in familiar areas, a GPS can help you get around it by showing surrounding roads and plotting an alternative route.
- Built-in battery convenience Almost all new portables now come with a rechargeable battery. If you want to use it for walking or use the multimedia features outside of a car, look for one that will operate for at least three hours on a charge.
- What about extra features? A full-featured aftermarket GPS can effectively upgrade an older car with features like a trip computer, Bluetooth hands-free telephone capability, an MP3 player, an iPod connection, and a FM transmitter. If available, live traffic information, weather, and local gas prices can offer an increased measure of safety and convenience.
- Size matters If you choose a portable unit, size is important–especially if you frequently pack it in a suitcase. Some models are no bigger than a wallet and weigh less than 7 ounces, while others are as large as a paperback book and can weigh two pounds or more. Also, look for a screen that’s large enough to read easily without blocking your view.
Happy GPS & Bye!
