One of the best breakthroughs today that is basically good for something is the cartable GPS unit. Whether or not you are on an extended road trip or merely heading to a new location near to work you’ll adore using a GPS to lead you along the way! Do i have a soft spot in my heart for TomTom for some reason? Yeah actually, but only because it is the only brand that I have used so far.

My spouse and I enjoy heading off on weekend excursions with our kids to destinations that we can drive to. I’m the driver and my spouse is the navigator, problem is she likes to sleep while I drive. There have been occasions where she has been sleeping and I have missed a turn, and one or two where we’ve been confused with the directions we released on the internet. How great it would be to have a GPS to lead us which way to go with nice big arrows and voice commands!

Portable GPS have been about for a little while now and just keep getting better and better. Like any other consumer electronics, they are way overpriced when new in the store, but now you can get yourself a great GPS unit for rather less than you could think.

One of the original models like the TomTom One XL GPS is still a great purchase today, and it’s a third of it’s original cost. The neat thing about GPS is that you can easily update the maps thru the TomTom internet site so that the unit actually never does become out of date. If you are pleased with the functionality of the unit and you do not want any of the extra features of the latest and best, then why pay for what you do’t need?

If you’re a repeat user of a conveyable GPS and can use all the awesome features that are presently available then you’re in luck. TomTom at the moment has units such as the Go 740 Live, that may not only lead you to your destination, but you may also make hands-free calls via Bluetooth, get real time traffic, gas prices, searching powered by Google through wifi, voice recognition and more!

Why even get a GPS? So many phones have it built in, what’s the point? Not everybody has a telephone with GPS capacities, so yep there are loads of us that need a real GPS unit. The great thing about purchasing a portable GPS is that you do not have to pay extra monthly charges like you would if you upgraded your mobile phone to something with GPS built in. Think about it, thirty dollars additional per month for web on your mobile phone or an one time purchase of $100-200? And if you are wanting to save even more, you can pick up a discount TomTom GPS for even less than that!

The only question that is left is what occurs when more people keep getting iPhones and others such as Androids that have built in GPS in the phone? Little need for another cartable GPS… Does this mean the end of Garmin and others? Only the passing of time will let us know for sure!
