There is an entire range of automotive gps units on sale today and knowing which one is best for you will take some research. Basically there are two different types, a standalone navigation system or a PC/PDA system.
The aim of a GPS system is to stop you getting lost. Having one in your car should mean that you are never late for an appointment again. Technology has advanced so much that most of the automotive gps systems offer more than just a locating device.
Most people who use their car for social travel are more used to the stand alone navigation systems. There are many different levels of models under this category. If you are looking for an easy to use system you will probably want a basic level Garmin Nuvi. But if you travel a lot you might want a slightly more advanced system which includes a real time traffic feature and blue tooth technology.
You could choose from a Tom Tom, Magellan Roadmate or a more advanced version of the Nuvi or perhaps the Garmin Zumo.
If you drive for a living or just like owning the most advanced automotive gps unit on the market today, you would probably want to look at a fully loaded navigation system offering not only real time traffic alerts but also weather, fuel prices etc.
The systems worth looking at include those offered by the Tom Tom and Garmin brands. If you intend travelling to Europe you should invest in a GPS system for the local area. The Garmin nuvi is one to look at in this area of the market.
If you have decided that a PDA system is the one you want, check out the offerings from Garmin Mobile and Delorme Earthmate. The Earthmate in particular is very easy to use for a first time user.
