It’s important to consider all the features you need when looking at GPS products, then look for one in your price range. You don’t need to buy the most expensive model, because you may not need all the extra features. At the same time, you should look for a reputable brand and one that’s well rated by consumers. What follows are some criteria to consider when choosing handheld GPS systems or car GPS systems and a look at some of the best ones.

If possible, you should try to look at GPS units in person, even if you ultimately want to buy one online to save money. It’s good to see the device up close, and perhaps test some of its features so that you get an idea of how convenient and user friendly it is. You want to get a device that you like the look of, that has a screen you can easily see and an interface that has the information you need. Though you can go through the information about the units on websites, its best to go to a store so you can see them physically.

A high quality mountable GPS is the Pioneer AVIC-X920BT. This is a good choice if you want your GPS device installed in your car so you don’t have to worry about carrying it around with you. 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. Of course, it also has the most advanced GPS features, such as voice activated navigation, detailed maps and a user friendly touch screen.
