Everyone who sit in the car about 10 hours/day should have some good GPS system to guide the ways like the christ lead your ways to heaven . But what is the things that GPS system should have?. This is “Must Have” options in GPS system.
►They show you where you are and tell you how to get your destinations.
►They have a touch screen.
►They tell you where to turn and how far you are going.
►They come pre-loaded with maps
►Have a pre-programmed database of POI’s
And something more like wide screen, Mp3 and audio, Bluetooth and more maps are depend on how much money you willing to pay. In the market right now as you know, Garmin has almost 50% of market share in US and TomTom is the next for 20%. To tell you the truth the reason that make Garmin has more market share in US because people perceive Garmin as the leader considered from market share but when it comes to GPS system specialist, they will suggest you to buy
TomTom 1XL.
TomTom one third edition is selling for less than $120 and it can do everything which is necessary. Moreover It has real time traffic capability (help you avoid traffic jams), it also comes with free software that will let you download the latest maps, celebrity voices, Night Colors (help you see when the night comes) and more applications. Garmin's entry level GPS unit is the Garmin nuvi 200. it’s more expensive about $20 than the TomTom one third edition and can do all of “Must Have” but doesn't have some of the bells and whistles the Tom Tom has.
And if you want GPS unit with wider screen I, personally, still recommended
TomTom 1XL for you to consider. You just give the store $30 more to get the larger screen for TomTom, but you have to plus &50 more for
Garmin Nuvi 200W. Again, the nuvi 200W outsells the TomTom 1XL because people see Garmin as being the leader in quality. That's not to say the TomTom 1XL is not a very good device. After all Tom Tom outsells Garmin in Europe, for what that's worth.
Now let’s see some words from some customer
Robbert Staff (New Jersey) : TomTom 1XL Bluetooth is wonderful
Just received the other day. We waited on purchasing one or even asking one for a xmas gift because we knew that they were coming out with BETTER models and the price was going down. We almost purchased the Asus R300 but the features does not match up as to the TomTom 1XL. We will be using this unit in March when we drive up to New Orleans for a couple of weeks. I am very happy on this purchase. Tom Tom is awesome
Nicky Longbuttom (Chicago) : One sweet navigator
I have used the TomTom 1XL for 2500 miles in New England and the Chicago area. The TomTom 1XL is quite helpful and well worth the money. The good things of this Unit is good clear directions, able to adjust rapidly when you go off the recommended route, large screen : easy to read the relevant info, colors and night colors work well, tracking signal is rapidly acquired, simplified input of destination is helpful, TomTom 1XL doesn't sound irritated when you take a wrong turn.
There's more to know about GPS units. there's the third in line for market share company, Magellan, and their quality products. But at least this article will give you a start.
