As with any product, there is a high and low end to the GPS Navigation marketplace, with most manufacturers producing devices on either end of the spectrum. The issue is not so much one of quality, but of features. The creators of GPS Navigation Systems produce systems to meet virtually any budget, with GPS devices running the gamut from basic yet very effective models with monochrome displays (the very affordable Garmin StreetPilot i2) as well as models featuring a color screen and a reasonable price (the Lowrance iWay 250 GPS, for example.)

Moderately-priced choices in the middle range include the Garmin StreetPilot c530 (which boasts pre-loaded North American Maps and more than 6 million points of interest, a TFT touch screen display, and optional GTM FM traffic receiver) and the Magellan Roadmate 6000T (featuring4 GB of internal memory, a real-time traffic receiver, detailed mapping of 50 U.S. States and Canada, as well as Bluetooth and MP3 capabilities.) Excellent values can be found in the refurbished GPS Navigator market as well – consumers can benefit the purchase of a GPS device that has been brought to full factory specs or has a small blemish at considerable savings.

Equipping your car, truck, or motorcycle with a GPS system doesn’t have to be rocket science, but a little bit of research can help. Whatever choice you make, you can rest assured that GPS technology is here to stay, and will only improve as the manufacturing process and technology improve. Making the best choice today depends on knowing what features you require, and how far your budget can go in the GPS Navigation System marketplace.
