gps auto navigation

Car GPS navigation systems can be notoriously difficult to buy. Oh, sure there are plenty of places to buy them from--your local office supply store, Target, Wal-Mart, and a dozen or so online stores and websites. It's not the actual purchasing that's the problem. It's knowing what to purchase! That's the issue.

Well, this article is going to help you understand the marketplace for car GPS navigation systems, so you can buy the right unit for you and your needs.

First off, You need to know who makes these things.

Although there are a number of different GPS manufacturers, I would stick with the top three, in the United States, that is. The top companies in the U. S. are Garmin, Tom Tom, and Magellan. Together they represent about 90% of the U. S. market.

All three of these companies make great products, although if you're looking for a state of the art, cutting edge device (and if you're willing to pay for it), then Garmin is the only company you need to consider.
