Looking For A Good Gps Navigation System That Will Help You Get Where You Are Going
If you have been thinking about getting yourself a GPS navigation system but not quite sure which one might be good for you. There are probably more out there than you would have first thought so it could make the decision making a little difficult. So to make life a little easier on your decision making below you will find five different systems that are considered the best.
Probably one of the best units would be the Tom Tom Go 740. This GPS navigation unit is just feature packed that gives you weather, traffic and incident reports. It also will give you the local fuel prices within seconds. The entire system is powered by Google search and map and this particular model is far faster than any of their past models.
A nice little feature with this GPS navigation system is that it allows you to share various locations with your family and friends through its instant messaging program. It also has a feature that allows you to correct the system if there should be some faulty information in the system due to changes of street names, businesses, etc. You can go in and input the correct information for future reference.
The draw backs to this system is the fact that the response time to getting directions seems a little sluggish and the battery life is just little over two hours before it has to be recharged.
A GPS navigation system that offers ad supported free service would be the Garmin Nuvi 1690. They will give you two years of free service with ads and after that time if you want to remove the ads you can do so for just five dollars a month. Their service is a powerful one which is a combination of MSN Direct and ATandT.
This GPS navigation device is packed full of features ranging from finding fuel prices to giving weather reports. A lot of the information can be gathered through Google search and their White Pages search. They also go as far as getting you flight information and movie information. This system also gives you the hands free service of Bluetooth.
The main draw back for this unit is that they use to have a memory card reader for regular SD cards but they have switched to microSD cards which very few people have at this time.
Tom Tom has another GPS navigation device called the Tom Tom XL340 S. This one is a little less expensive than their other model. Do not let the lower price fool you, it is still full of helpful features. It is a little bit larger than other models but if you like to be able to have better visual, then this model with its larger screen would probably be a good fit for you. Another nice feature is its voice to text feature, giving you complete hands free operation.
The great thing about he voice to text is that the responding voice can be English, Spanish or French and better yet if you want, you can download celebrity voices to add more fun to the experience.
Magellan Roadmate 1470 is a one touch GPS navigation system that puts all the most used destinations and places of interests by others at your finger tips at all times. It includes all the same features as most systems and the response time is very quick with its touch screen that displays very easy to see large icons.
The biggest draw back with this unit is that the way it has to be mounted makes it hard to arrange the power cable with out it being in the way.
Have you ever looked all of the portable gps deals that are out there? Gps systems are definitely a big hit in the world today. With the right GPS system, you will never get stranded again.
