Are you hoping to upgrade to a newer GPS unit soon? Or maybe you are hoping to make your first foray into the market by purchasing a new device soon. Are you wondering if now is the best time to make a purchase? Or are you curious about how far the technology for these small but useful devices has come?
These things work the same way as touchscreen phones and computers do: You simply click a button and type in the address of your destination.
These advancements in technology have led to new devices that have better battery life, stronger GPS antennas, and are generally safer to use. Modern devices have screens that are more clearly legible, and have more advanced software that can help you navigate safer. Features like lane guidance and earlier warning on when to turn or merge make these newer devices safer than ever.
GPS touchscreen technology is very simple to understand. Simply type in the address of your destination and you will get a detailed list of directions to follow. Newer versions of this technology can even provide you with voice commands.
Fun features of car GPS systems include: The ability to view different TV channels, Voice guidance, Speed limit information, Speed limit warning if you're going over the limit, and Icons showing places of interest including parks, gas stations, etc.
The features mentioned above are really just the basic fun features of a decent GPS. You should know that some GPS brands have features that are reminiscent of tablet PCs: WiFi, media player, e-book reader, etc.
There has obviously never been a better time to purchase a reasonably priced GPS unit that is safer and easier to use than ever!
