| There are
literally hundreds of
different GPS models that have been introduced to the market by a
variety of different companies which makes it extremely difficult to
select the one that is best for your needs. No list can tell you in
certainty which model will be the best for you, because that will
depend on the circumstances in which you plan to use the unit. A good
overall list, such as the one below, gives you an idea of a spectrum of
GPS models from the very basic to the more sophisticated to help you
select the best portable GPS system for your needs and pocketbook. 1. You’ll find that the TomTom ONE 125 isn’t the most current GPS model or one of the ones filled with flashy frills. What it is is a solid, entry-level GPS that is perfect for new users. This model also comes with a low price tag making it affordable for almost everyone. With the TomTom ONE 125 you won’t get fancy gizmos such as Bluetooth or spoken voice commands, but you will get the solid basics that GPS systems were designed to give you. 2. The Navigon 7200T is another cost-effective GPS system, but it offers more luxury features than other entry-level units give you. Although the maps and interface aren’t quite up to par with what is offered by Garmin or TomTom, the device will still give you adequate performance and voice address entry. It includes text-to-speech, 3D landmarks, and Bluetooth integration. 3. The Mio C520 Navigation Receiver is an excellent value as far as the best portable GPS systems go. It incorporates a large screen, advanced navigation capabilities, and many other features all for a reasonable price. Although this model may not perform quite as smoothly as some of the competitor’s models, it will still give you plenty of performance for the money. 4. The Magellan Maestro 4370 features a one-touch interface. You will be able to easily access accurate maps and directions with one touch of your finger. 5. Of the numerous models offered by Garmin, the Nuvi 880 is one of the best values provided it has the features you want to have on your GPS. Although the unit is small and compact, it offers you solid performance, accurate speech recognition, and a large touchscreen display. Of course, even though this unit may sound like the best portable GPS system, it is going to cost considerably more than any of the others considered in this listing. |
