GPS Buying Tips 

-The first thing that a new GPS must have is the SirF. It is a high performance receiver that greatly improves the GPS signal performance. You can get solid reception anywhere with a SirF.

-The GPS must also have the best and most accurate map. There are many companies that create maps for GPS. NAVTEQ maps are the most accurate map a GPS can have. Make sure your GPS is equipped with NAVTEQ maps in order to get the best out of your GPS.

-The GPS needs to have thousands, or even millions of points of interest (POI). POI is a business address saved on your GPS. With POIs, it is easier to find what you want like restaurants, malls, gas stations, hospitals, and more.

-The GPS must also have a good routing quality. Without a good routing quality, you might find that the street you are about to turn to is closed and it would be harder for you to find a different route other than what your GPS suggested. It's better if a GPS has a good routing quality so that you won't waste much time travelling.

-The GPS must be user friendly. If it is harder to use, then it would also be harder for users to travel. If the GPS is easy to use, then you'd get to where you want to go the fastest way you can.

-The GPS should be equipped with a proper mounting hardware so that it won't be hard to look at it while travelling.

-The GPS can even be better than others when they have features such as Text-to-speech, FM transmitter and is Bluetooth capable.

-You get what you pay for. Look for Garmin or Magellan name brands.
