Auto GPS Units For Those Not In The Know
Buying GPS can be intimidating especially if you do it for the first time. It doesn't have to be, however. Because you can spend from $150 to $900 on a GPS, using 'price' as a starting point is a wise thing to do.
You should wrap your mind around the market for auto GPS units a little better before investing in GPS.
A lot of people just glance at reviews or talk with friends and say "I'll buy that one," only to find out that the one they bought was not what they would have wanted.
It helps to have a basic idea of what you want your GPS to do.
All auto GPS units show you where you are and give you instructions to get to where your going. They all also have a library of pre-programmed destinations called Points of Interest, or POI's. You can get an auto GPS unit to do all of this and more for only $150! The Garmin nuvi 200, the Tom Tom One, 3rd Edition, and the Magellan Maestro 3100 are all three good examples of entry level GPS systems.
Some popular features are more extensive maps, actually pronouncing street names instead of just "Turn Here!", real-time traffic bulletins, and Bluetooth capability to name only a few .
You can get all of this for $200! The Garmin nuvi 350 is a great model. It can do this and more. The multiple point routing will cost you another $50 to $100.
Another example of a good mid-priced GPS is the Magellan Maestro 4250. It can do all the things I've mentioned and it has the wider, 4.3-inch display. (Normal screen sizes are 3.5-inches. These are all measured on the diagonal, just like a television.)
Tom Tom has been fast catching up in the United States due to very competitive pricing. If you want a more fully featured model than the One, 3rd Edition, then how about the GO 920T, which was listed by Consumer Reports recently as one of the best GPS's to buy. Right now, it will cost you just over $400.
The Garmin Nuvi 200 is one of the least expensive auto GPS units you can buy. I would recommend this as a good entry level GPS system, it's simple enough that a friend of mine bought it as a birthday present for his mother in law who is a complete and utter technophobe.
While we're mentioning extra add-ons, let me make sure you know about Magellan's deal with AAA. If you're a AAA subscriber, you can gain access to their well-known Tour Book right on your GPS device. I love AAA. So, for me this would certainly be a good selling feature.
As you can see, there are auto GPS units to fit all budgets and needs.
What you need now is an informative website where you can browse and check current prices. That way you'll really know what you're buying when you decide to spend your hard earned cash! - 2368
