| It’s
hard to know everything there is to know about purchasing your first
GPS system. You’ll find pages and pages of advertising doing
exactly what advertising copy is designed to do – promote the
product it’s talking about. Therefore, although you can find
basic information about the capabilities of a particular unit by
reading the ads, you really need more than that to know if the unit
you’re looking at is going to perform as it’s
supposed to. That’s when websites that include customer
feedback can prove invaluable to you. Customers tell it like
they’ve found it by actually using a product, and you can
hear all of the pros and cons of a GPS by reading their comments. One
of the best websites for finding both advertising copy and customer
reviews is Amazon.com. Let’s say you’re searching for the perfect marine or fishing GPS system. Pull up the Amazon.com website and do a search for a marine GPS. You will receive numerous pages of listings that include pictures of the different units and prices. You can also see the rating that customers have given that particular unit with five stars being the highest rating. In addition, you will be able to tell how many different customers rated that particular model. For example, the listing for a Garmin eTrex Venture HC GPS Receiver shows you a picture of the device, tells you that the current price is $131.93, shows a customer rating of 4 ½ stars with 144 ratings having been given. If it sounds interesting, you can click on the listing to bring up a page with considerably more information, including access to all of the customer comments. For the Garmin listing mentioned above, you’ll be able to learn that it contains basemaps of lakes, rivers, cities, interstates, national & state highways, railroads & coastlines by reading the advertising copy. By reading through the customer comments concerning the maps, however, you’ll find one person who comments that the maps are only very basic, showing just the largest highways and bodies of water. This person advises customers that if they are looking for turn-by-turn street directions, this isn’t the unit they will want to buy. All of this is important information that can help you decide whether or not you want to purchase a Garmin eTrex Venture. Amazon.com is an excellent website to use to get the information you need in order to make informed purchases of all kinds of GPS equipment whether it be marine, automobile, dog tracking, or handhelds.
