Oh my, we get lots of calls requesting me to make a choice for folks
so that they don't have to decide which GPS unit to buy. Looks good on
paper, but how can I know which features might be really useful or
totally useless to each individual person. I could just decide which
GPS unit I might prefer, but how would that information help a total
stranger whose needs and budget may be totally different from mine? I
feel like I really disappoint people when I try to point this out, but
we are all individuals, which is why there are so many different
versions of, for instance, handheld or automotive GPS units out there.
Most of the top manufacturers, especially Garmin, have really great
interactive websites that allow you to choose to compare several
units to each other so that at a glance you can sort them out by which
features you really want, which ones would only be nice perks and which
ones are definitely yes or no features for you. Do you want it to be
small and thin with a great battery life so you can carry it with you to
find your way back to your car? Do you want lifetime traffic?
Bluetooth? You get the idea. Anyway, once you have it narrowed down to
possibly one or two favorites, it becomes simple to go back to Google
or your favorite GPS store
and see which one they have to offer, which types of accessories you
will need and for what price they are offered. I just think it totally
simplifies your shopping experience. I like simple. After all, I
would rather be spending time exploring with my GPS unit than sitting
in front of a computer trying to figure out all the pros and cons or
entrusting my decision to someone who doesn't even know me. Well, good
luck in your search for the best GPS units for your needs and budget,
and I hope this helps.
