As you shop for a GPS, it's important to carefully consider all the features you'll need. You don't need to buy the most expensive model, because you may not need all the extra features. But you should look for a reputable brand that's well rated by consumers. The following criteria will help you find the best GPS product for you.

You should consider how often you'll a GPS when deciding how much to spend. If you're planning to buy a new car, you can look for one that already has a GPS unit installed. The price of these systems has come down, though, if you're not planning on a new car.

If you don't do that much driving in unfamiliar territory, you probably don't need a high priced GPS system, but if driving in many different areas is part of your lifestyle, then an advanced unit is a must.

A high quality mountable GPS is the Pioneer AVIC-X920BT. If you want the GPS mounted in your rig so there aren't worries about carrying it, this is a smart choice. This is actually more than just a GPS unit, as it also has an AM/FM radio, a CD and DVD player and MP3 capabilities (which you can synchronize with the music on your iPod or iPhone), so you're really getting a complete entertainment and navigation system in one device. By all means there is voice activation, thorough maps, and easy touch monitor.

Some phones even have GPS on them that you can use to supplement the one in your car or even to replace it. The Motorola MotoNav TN765t is a user friendly, reasonably priced phone with a GPS system installed. This phone gives you free FM-traffic reception, so you can quickly find out about the traffic conditions in your area. This phone is also cheaper than other smart phones as it costs around $150. But the tracking on this phone isn't always reliable in certain areas, such as in cities with tall buildings.

In conclusion, with all of the GPS products to choose from, it's important that you shop carefully and find the best one for you. You need to consider the price, as well as making sure it has all the features you need. As you research various GPS systems, use these suggestions to help you.
