How To Buy the Right GPS

Shoppin for a GPS unit but don’t know which to get.  Here’s what you need to know to pick the perfect personal navigation device.

The best way to shop for a personal navigation device (PND) is to start with the basics, including a large, readable display, pre-loaded maps, and a strong receiver. Next, you should tackle the question of how much control you want over your routes—many devices can help you avoid tolls, traffic, and even speeding tickets. After that, consider the extras you’re willing to spring for; do you really need a built-in multimedia player or camera?

You’ll find a good number of high-end devices with advanced navigation features and a ton of extras that can set you back as much a $1,000, but at the same time, the budget GPS category is growing, and you can find some great values for less than $350.
