Popular Auto Navigation Systems
While technology is constantly evolving it is fairly safe to
say that there are some toys that are better suited to remain
at the top of the heap than others. The story really is no
different when it comes to auto navigation systems. These
systems each have different bells and whistles and while there
is no one system that is perfect for everyone, there are a few
systems that are consistent best sellers.
It is important that you as a consumer know what is
available in navigational tools before leaping and buying the
first thing you see. There are many neat buttons and features
that can really turn a girls (or guys for that matter) head if
she isn't sure of what she will actually need and use in her
(or his) travels. Knowing what you need, what you would like,
and what you are fairly certain you can live without will help
you get the best possible bargain for your auto navigation
system dollar.
Best Selling Models
1) Tom Tom ONE Navigation System. This system is currently
the smallest of the portable auto navigation systems that
technology is constantly changing so this could be a
short-lived accomplishment. Don't let the size fool you
however. Tom Tom may be small in size but it is big on
features. The atlas is preloaded so you do not need to add any
software in order for it to be up and running. Additionally you
can subscribe to the plus features if you have a Bluetooth
enabled phone, these features will provide accurate and up to
the minute weather and traffic data while you travel. Tom Tom
offers four different routing options and different views of
the map displayed onscreen. Tom Tom One offers turn-by-turn
directions and will quickly get you back on track if you miss
your turn. The Tom Tom commercials aren't a terrible
exaggeration of the great features this little device has to
offer.
2) Garmin Nuvi 660 Automotive GPS. This auto navigation
system is one of, if not the most advanced on the market today.
Again, technology evolves so quickly that there is no guarantee
this information won't be obsolete tomorrow. However, for the
time being this is the system that has all the bells and
whistles that should set your eyes aglow and get your fingers
itching to 'play' with it for a while. Of course, being the
most advanced generally brings the largest price tag. There
really is no difference in this case and only you can decide if
the features available are really worthy of the additional fee.
In addition the typical navigation features Nuvi is Bluetooth
enabled and has extra features for those who wish to
subscribe.
3) Magellan RoadMate 2200T Portable Navigation System. This
system is another that is wildly popular at the moment. Some of
the popularity of this particular system is the direct result
of its versatility. This unit is small enough to be used in
settings other than the automobile. You will need to purchase
an upgrade in order to use it for driving directions but all
indications point to this unit being well worth the price,
including that of the upgrade. This nifty device also has other
functions such as an MP3 player and photo viewer. And is well
suited for use away from the automobile for up to 8 hours. You
can also subscribe to a service that provides reliable traffic
updates including information about traffic snarls as well as
road construction. You can also use RoadMate to point out
points of interest, restaurants, and fuel stops along your
route.
Each of the models mentioned above has some feature that
sets it apart from the others and some features that are very
much like the others. You will find a wide range of prices as
well as features in all units that you choose to check out.
These are some of the best selling auto navigation systems on
the market at the moment and are a good place to start your
search for your perfect system.
