CNET editors' buying advice
We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on Car GPS (Navigation). This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of car gps (navigation).
Car GPS
In-car navigation isn't for everyone; the price alone will cause many people to forgo this technology in favor of the good old paper map. However, if you drive for a living, or like to visit different places on the spur of the moment, GPS can make the driving more enjoyable, leading you to major attractions or guiding you through quiet, scenic back roads. As a business tool, GPS can be a tremendous aid for field service or delivery personnel, or if you frequent different cities on business trips. As the technology advances and we start seeing more real-time traffic report capabilities, it will be easier to avoid the bumper-to-bumper grind.
