GPS Reviews

As the demand for GPS, or Global Positioning System, navigators is on the rise, the supply of portable GPS navigators also rises. As with any electronic device that accommodates a real need, the number of different manufacturers and models continually increases as well.

Many of the newer GPS receivers do much more than just give directions via a digital map and a friendly voice. Some will help you find restaurants, gas stations, hospitals, and entertainment. Some will give information on areas of construction and congested traffic. Some even have mp3 players and photo viewers for when you need entertainment while away from your vehicle.

To make your buying decision even more difficult, most GPS receivers have many accessories that are sold seperately to enhance your GPS system. Window mounts, carrying cases, chargers, and FM transmittors are just a few of the available GPS accessories.

The pricing of GPS systems is just as varied as the available models. Ranging from $100 to $500 and even higher, you can find a portable GPS navigator that is budget friendly.

So how do you differentiate between the models and find out which one suits you the best? Here are a few things to consider:

• What size display do you need?
• Do you prefer a touchscreen display?
• Do you want voice-prompted directions?
• Which GPS systems have the best warranty?
• Do you need a WAAS-enabled GPS receiver?
• Which receivers have the largest points of interest databases?
• Do you need a dash-mounted or handheld GPS system?

You can search for information relating to specific GPS systems. You can also read customer reviews or leave your own review.
