Default Gps

Hi ladies,

I thought this section of forum is appropriate to post the question on GPS in North america, I already posted in personal technology section but response is slow.

I am planning to buy GPS during this thanks giving , please give me your reviews, features to look , like to have features based on you expereince of using the models you have. I googled the garmin products, but there are lot in market and confused to choose. so trying to get infomation from the people who used it. please advise.


thanks,
Sujatha.

Hi,
The basic things we thought when we bought our GPS was Cost and User friendly.

We had a confusion between tom tom and Garmin.. but since tom tom was on sale, we got that one..

I guess these days almost all GPS has all the features.. The only thing i found was missing in our Tom Tom was that it just says "Turn right in 1/2 mile or 130 yards" .. i wish it could tell the street name, so that we can be sure we are turning on the right place...

Well. lets see what others feel..

Hi

First it depends on how much you are ready to spend ... since Thanks Giving is near you will get nice deal .. but you have to shop around ..( try Amazon, bestbuy ) which one to buy i would suggest GARMIN .. we have 2 Garmin nuvi GPS .. and we simply love it ..i will let u know which model we have ... in any brand dont buy lower end one ... there will be less feature in that .. try blackfriday website .. u may find nice deal..

An important quality of a GPS is quick response time. So when you search for a GPS, read the reviews and go for the one that have better response time. Also GPS that actually 'tells' the street names are very useful and its a wise decision to buy a model with this feature.
