Tips to buy GPS for your car and extend its life
Are you looking to buy a GPS for your car? Are you confused about which one to buy? Or if you have bought a GPS and now use it. Do you know how to extend the life of your GPS? The following tips should help to get the right one for you, and also tell you how to do maintenance to increase the life of your GPS system.
Tips to buy a best GPS system for your car:
- Think about the reasons why you need a GPS. Is it for personal use or for business use? Will you be using it occasionally or everyday? If the GPS is for personal use or will be used occasionally, I would suggest purchasing a less expensive model with less bells and whistles. If the GPS is going to be used for business purposes or on a daily basis, I would suggest purchasing a higher end model that has more to offer.
- Decide how much money you want to spend. GPS prices range from less than $100 for low end systems to $1000 for high end systems.
- Decide if you want Turn-by-Turn or Text-to-Speech audible directions. Turn-by-Turn audible directions are more commonly found on lower end systems and tell the driver directions in basic terms for example, “make a right turn in 500 feet”. Where as Text-to-Speech audible directions are more descriptive and tell the driver to “make a right turn in 500 feet on Main Street”. I have experienced both and prefer the Text-to-Speech directions. Text-to-Speech also allows the driver to keep his or her eyes on the road making for a safer ride.
- Decide how important POI or Points of Interest is to you. The more POI’s a GPS has, the better chance of finding a gas station, shopping center, food store, a movie theater, restaurants, or state park. The list can go on and on. If you travel often for recreation or work and are unfamiliar with where you are going, having a lot of POI’s would be important. If you are somewhat familiar with where you are going and not traveling far enough to need gas, then POI’s should not be a high priority.
- Decide if you need traffic routing. The traffic routing feature alerts your GPS to traffic congestion on your route and routes you around it. In most cases, traffic routing is an additional feature that you need to subscribe to. Most GPS manufacturers make you pay a one time fee for the feature.
- Decide on the quality of your “routing engine” software. Your routing engine is what makes your GPS pick a particular route from point A to point B. Depending on the quality of the routing engine software you choose, your route could be longer then expected. Your goal is to find a GPS with very good routing engine software.
- Decide if you want your GPS to have Bluetooth technology or an FM transmitter. Some GPS model offer internet connected applications that require the use of a Bluetooth enabled cell phone. An FM transmitter will allow you to play your own recorded music through your GPS to your FM radio via a 3rd party device like an IPOD.
- Decide on what size screen you want. Screen sizes range from 3.5 inches to 7 inches
Maintenance Tips for GPS system:
- Most GPS units are commonly affected by temperature variations. So try to avoid cranking up the temperature too high or too low.
- The GPS display screens have to be cleaned frequently as it can get dirty due to dust, scratches, and finger smudges. One option is to use a clear shield. You can also use LCD cleaners or microfiber cloths with a little water. But never ever use paper towels or tissue papers for this purpose as they are abrasive.
- Ensure that your GPS unit is held firmly in place with the help of a high-quality friction mount.
- During installation, make sure that the external antenna too is secured properly. Take into account things, such as low-hanging roofs, which may cause damage to the antenna and interrupt the transmission.
- Driver tampering will also affect the product. So avoid tinkering with your GPS unit.
- Also take time to go through the manufacturer’s product manual for their GPS maintenance tips. Better still, use them to get the most out of your GPS unit.
Now is your turn to select the right and best buy GPS for you. Also, don’t forget the maintenance tips that will make your GPS always new.
