What’s the Best GPS System for You?
Unfortunately, no one can answer that question but you. I can, however, tell you several things you need to look for.
Almost all GPS systems come with preloaded maps of the United States, or at least a portion thereof. (The Garmin nuvi 200 comes with regional maps.) All of them calculate the shortest and fastest routes and do so automatically. All have different views. You can either look at the maps on the screen as if you were looking from the sky (2D) or choose and more realistic view (3D). Even the lower prices units have 750,000 Points of Interest. (Not enough, to my mind.) All have touchscreen, and all tell you where to turn.
Extra features you want to consider are: larger Points of Interest database, real-time traffic capability, Bluetooth for hands-free calling, maps of Europe, wider screen, and actually saying the street names before you turn.
Magellan, Tom Tom, and Garmin all offer a wide variety of models that do all of this and more. The issue is to define what you want, then to see which makes and models include that. Hopefully, this website can help you do just that!
