GPS (Global Positioning System)

GPS (Global Positioning System) units are a fantastic addition to any car. They let you navigate from wherever you are to wherever you want to go with easy turn-by-turn directions. It, is time to get a new GPS the new models do better than your old one //For Example:- // Many new GPS units come in 4.3″ and 5″ models. The extra screen makes it a LOT easier to operate from arms length and makes seeing the map and what streets are coming up easier. Newer GPS’s are coming with faster processors inside which calculate routes faster, recalculate if you have made a wrong turn and display more information than ever before. IN the case of a GPS it is a shame to waste such a big screen on simply :- “Turn right in 500 feet”, Consequentially most newer GPS units come with a host of features.  Extensive point of interest (POI) databases with locations programmed in for everything from restaurants, to post offices, to attractions;  speakers, which can connect to your phone for hands free calling;  speedometers,  trip computers, to keep your eyes up, and much more. //So what should you look for when buying a new unit? // <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Many GPS companies now offer lifetime map updates included with the GPS. This is great especially if you are traveling and do not know that “Main Street” has now been renamed “Saville Blvd.” <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> If you live in a busy metro area, then a GPS which includes free traffic updates can be a lifesaver. Do not get stuck in another massive track jam again. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The GPS will use the traffic information to reroute you and give you a more realistic time of arrival. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> On most new GPS units the display includes speed, time of arrival, detailed map, and is much easier to read from arm’s length if you have got a bigger screen. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> It may cost you 20% more, but when you are using it, you will be glad you bought the larger screen. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Do not be fooled by the knock off brands. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> You may save a few pounds but you will regret it later on when the map data does not cover the areas you want to go or the screen does not respond well to finger presses. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">With petrol hovering at or over £6.00p a gallon, saving a few pounds on a GPS can mean a lot money wasted on petrol later. Garmin, Magellan, Nextar and TomTom are all well-known respected brands.
