Hi, I am Justin with Top Ten Reviews.
Whether you are on foot or in your car, GPS units can get you where you need to go. There are two types of GPS units, navigation and recreation. This video deals with navigation GPS units. When choosing a navigation GPS unit, there are a few simple facts to be familiar with.
For your car, there are two basic types of GPS units, in-dash and portable. The in-dash is installed directly inside the dashboard and it is not removable. This is good for those who do not want to mess with wires or adaptors. It does require a professional installation and once it is in, it is there to stay. Many new cars come with this option already installed. The portable unit sits on your dashboard and it is not permanently installed inside it. Portability is the main selling point here. You can take the portable units from your car, to your truck or wherever you want. This is especially useful for rental cars in cities that you might be unfamiliar with.
The last kind of navigational GPS is the hand-held unit. These are designed primarily for trouble on foot or off road vehicles. While they have smaller screens in their vehicle counterparts, they are lighter and go into much more details than the roads and highways. Many include points of local interests, topographical maps, altitude readings and more. These units are ideal for the urban pedestrian and those touring or vacationing in foreign cities. Many of these units include features such as MP3 players and currency converters underscoring their usefulness when traveling abroad.
After you have decided whether you want in-dash, portable, or hand-held, move on to reviewing specific features like screen size, battery life, and price. If you are still having trouble deciding what model best suits you, consult our navigation GPS site for comprehensive list and side by side comparison of the best units on the market.
So whether you are going a mile off the road, explore an exotic city, or venturing into the wild, there is a GPS unit that fits your needs.
