What would be the best GPS navigator fo me?

Question

Hello. I am asking about a GPs(navigation) system and i don't even have a car. Funny isn't it. But i plan to get one soon(6-8 months). I plan to buy a car for $3000 or less real soon so that i can visit people in different states. I really don't have a lot of experience driving from one state to another. I mean, i've driven to connecticut without any problems. Anyway, i've been looking into GPS systems such as the TOMTOM XL ONE. I really like that model, but it seems you would have to pay a monthly fee for Real Time traffic Updates. It says you hook it up to BLuetooth and then do something else. I have a tmobile bluetooth phone. Do i just Link the two together and get the real time traffic updates? And is the TOMTOM XL ONE really worth the price it costs? Please, if you could tell me your negatives and postives about it? Thanks in advance to everybody.

Answer 1

Garmin is the most popular in the U.S.. TomTom is more popular in Europe. I suggest one of the Garmin Nuvi GPS systems because they are portable. You can use it even before you buy a car because they have internal battery power. The following web site has all the GPS systems with customer reviews so that you can see what other people have to say:

Of course Garmin GPS is the best, Here in Cambodia I use Garmin GPSMAP 76CSx. Position accuracy is around 5m.

However you also can change your mobile phone to HTC P3300, it also integrated Garmin GPS, Position accuracy is same as GPSMap 76CSx, in Addition HTC P3300 comes with 65536 color touch screen (Windows Mobile 5), it shows the Map very clear than the 256 color GPSMAP 76CSx.

I have been given a GARMAN a pair years in the past and think of it particularly is an extremely stable device. It helps you to application a particular handle or make a call from numerous fields, which comprise "buying," "well-being middle," "eating places," "entertainment," and so on. If there's a undertaking with the line, you may hit "detour" and GARMAN will stumble on a various direction for you. the fees are transforming into greater smart with levels from $200 on up. I tension lots (over 25,000 in step with twelve months) and my GARMAN has exchange into helpful to me. . I nonetheless carry a map and specifically circumstances print out instructions merely in case the satellite tv for pc reception is misplaced, which has in basic terms exceeded off as quickly as in 2 years, yet considering the fact that i could be maximum places by utilising a particular time, it would not harm to have map & instructions available. ultimate suggestion is flow to a save that sells them and evaluate diverse fashions, constructive aspects, costs, and ensures (i've got under no circumstances had a undertaking with mine). do not enable somebody communicate you into added constructive aspects on a extreme priced variety in case you will not use those constructive aspects generally. bear in mind the save makes vast $$ on promoting prolonged warranties. maximum new products won't flow undesirable in the 1st 2 - 3 years, it particularly is customarily the quantity of time the guaranty covers, so why spend greater suitable than you may? chuffed buying!
