GPS Buyer's Guide To The Best Systems

For drivers in North America who are tired of staring at maps and pulling into gas stations to get directions the new technology of GPS may be the answer. GPS or Global Positioning Systems are an inexpensive and reliable way of finding your exact position on the globe at any given time. For the driver this can mean never having to look a road map again. This is a brief introduction to the major brands of GPS units and some information about each.

Garmin offers two different types of GPS units and many models for each type. The larger of the two the Streetpilot is meant to be mounted in your car and provides street to street directions map and much more useful information during you trip. Some of the more recent models of the Streetpilot offer voicecapabilities and will vocally give a driver directions. The Quest offer many of the same features as the Streetpilot but it comes in a smaller handheld size and is battery powered. The Quest may be a better option if you often find your self leaving the car behind and need directions on foot.

Magellan is one of the oldest consumer level GPS manufacturers and they are still one of the finest. The Roadmates line of GPS units have been around for a while and the newest models are still in competition for the highest in quality. The newest models of Roadmates provide turn by turn directions to your destination with its internal speaker. This line of GPS units are powered by the cars cigarette lighter and mounts easily to most automobiles. The Roadmate 800 provides color 3-D maps on its 3" screen.

The newest brand of GPS unit comes from Tom-Tom. The Tom-Tom Go700 provides directions on it's 3.5" screen which gives its display in 3-D. The Go700 can give vocal directions in dozens of languages. The most interesting feature about this unit is it's Bluetooth capability allowing it to connect to cell phones to give weather, traffic and road conditions for your trip.

Magellan Roadmate 1200 or TomTom One GPS?

For the price the Roadmate 1200. I picked one up at Circuit City for about $125 and am very happy. I first purchased two others: the Mio 220 and the Garmin 340 and took them back the same day. The ease of use of the Roadmate 1200 had them beat hands down and I didn't purchase the Tom Tom due to price.
