What is an automotive GPS? It is a cool sleek and slim auto navigator that will fit in your pocket or purse. GPS (global positioning satellite) technology has come a long, long way. The cool new car GPS navigation systems are affordable and very portable. The really great part is it can be used in any car, truck, SUV and even a motor home.

Why Buy Car GPS Navigation Systems?

Up till now we all had to deal with cumbersome maps. You fumble to unfold them, then squint trying to figure out exactly where you are. Then squint some more and keep turning the map around more to figure out where you're going. And naturally, you can't ever get those maps folded up again!

Besides, trying to figure out the map directions to your destination while actually driving down the road is just unsafe. And who likes to try to find a place to pull over in the dark to try to read the map?

With a GPS, maps are a hassle of the past.

Backseat Drivers Do Not Apply

No one has to be a backseat driver and make a fuss about stopping and asking for directions.

All you need to do is pick an intersection or one of your favorites and when it appears you can just touch Go, and the GPS will navigate you to your destination.

The GPS has a very simple touch screen plus when you turn it on the first thing you hear is "Where To?" Some of the options are view map or you can enter an address. Or maybe you have some saved points of interest (POI) that you discovered and saved for future reference.

We got a New Kid in Town

This cool new "big kid's toy" is preloaded with maps and is ready to go right out of the box. You wonder how something this jamb-packed with information cannot have some kind of monthly subscription. But there is not one!

It's so easy to look up addresses for homes or businesses. You can also look up your favorite restaurants and recreation. There are listings for shopping and airports, too. Don't forget attractions! Banks, ATMs, gas stations and your favorite hotels are available all across the country.

Just press Go and you will get voice command directions. And although it is not a good idea to read them while driving, across the top of the screen you also get clear directions. There are no "well I think" or "maybe a left on" -- you will get clear accurate directions instead.

Can You Say "Customize"?

Make the navigational aid uniquely yours by customizing it. For example, add your very own pictures so when you power on your navigational aid and the startup screen will display it. You will like the custom vehicle icons that you can set to your favorite.

Anyway you look it travel navigational problems of the past are indeed now in the past. Once you try a GPS while driving, you'll say "no more maps!" and you'll want car GPS navigation systems with you always!

Got a GPS? No? In that case, you'll need to read up on the specs and find how to easy it is to use plus find out how to get yours. http://www.garminnuvigps350.com
