Choosing a GPS - Which GPS Is Right For Me?
|
|
|
| |
We've set up this page to help you make an informed decision before buying a GPS. GPS receivers perform a wide variety of functions, and are also priced accordingly. To give you a better idea on choosing the GPS that's best for you, this page is divided into 4 categories of receivers: Basic GPS, Mapping Handheld GPS, Mapping Auto GPS, and Marine GPS. You will find that some units are at home on the roads, trails, and water!
At the beginning of each category is a description of what you can expect from the units in each particular category. We hope this quick guide will prove useful in answering many of your questions.

• Basic GPS receivers display your location in Latitude and Longitude, and store waypoints, routes, and tracks. They do not come with built-in Maps or Points of Interest. Please note that these units cannot download Maps from CD-Roms such as the Garmin Mapsource or Magellan Mapsend series of CD-Roms. They're great for basic outdoor needs and recreation. You'll find a few examples of Basic GPS receivers below. There are more Basic GPS units to see in the Non-Mapping Handheld GPS Section.

• Mapping Auto GPS receivers are what you need if you're looking to have all the advantages of GPS with you on the road. These units feature bigger screen displays, larger icons, voice delivered directions, and have loads more information than many of the handheld GPS units can offer. Some require no computer access at all, and function as complete units straight out of the box! They vary by price depending on the manufacturer, features, and screen size. Whichever unit you decide on, you'll soon wonder what you ever did without it! Listed below are only a few of our customer favorites. You can see all of our automotive GPS units in the Auto GPS Section.
