If you have used any kind of GPS system to get around it's hard to imagine not using one. The most useful tools now a days are the GPS navigators for cars. These units are extremely helpful for getting you around town and saving you time while doing it. It doesn't matter how well you know your city there are still times when you can get lost. I know there have been times when I turned down a street and some how I got all turned around and it took several minutes to find my way back on track.
The TomTom was the first GPS system that I remember hearing about. I remember thinking what a great invention has I recalled the many times a device like that would have come in handy for me. These systems have come a long way since I first saw that TomTom and many of them do a lot more then just guide you along your travels. Newer cars now a days have navigation systems as part of the car itself. But those also usually require a monthly fee in order to use them.
However, the GPS navigators for cars like the TomTom or the Garmin 360 don't require a fee. Once you buy one it's just a matter of turning on setting it for your destination and going on your way. These devices are very sophisticated and are usually loaded with other features beside navigation. Some of the features you can find with these systems are preloaded maps of not just the US but other countries as well, the ability to calculate the fastest route to take, some even come with Bluetooth technology and built in microphone and speakers and allow you to make phone calls. There even some that mp3 players built in.
Some of the manufactures of GPS navigators for cars TomTom, Garmin and Magellan. Although TomTom has been in the business longer they come in second place to Garmin in the GPS game. Garmin has consistently come out with innovative and quality products. The systems are frequently filled with features that can't be found in other systems.
However, featured filled or not in the end it comes down to you are looking for in a navigation system. After all maybe you don't need a lot features. Maybe you just want a system that will just get you to your destination fast and easy and that's good too.
