Choosing the
best GPS
There is no such thing as the best GPS. There is, however, a
best GPS for you, and which one it is will depend very much on
what it is you want to do with it, and how much you are willing
to pay. The ranges available on the open market begin with
devices that are no more advanced than a digital compass, and
cost very little right up to advanced devices which have the
power of a PC, color map, and which can direct you by voice
navigation.
Those who already own a pocket PC, or advanced PDA, may find
that the best GPS for them is one which integrates with this
device. The reason that this approach is advantageous is
twofold. Firstly, you only need one device, and not two, and
secondly, the GPS attachment will utilize the power of the PDA
to plan routes and triangulate it’s position.
These kinds of GPS also allow connecting to a PC, and if this
kind of functionality would be useful to you, then this changes
everything about the decision process. Finding the best GPS
which connects to your PC requires that you know a little about
your computer, as there are connectivity choices to be made, as
well as whether the software that exists to talk to your GPS
exists fro your particular operating system.
Finally, remember that for outdoor use, the best GPS will be one
that is rugged and waterproof, although this might mean
sacrificing advanced features such as a full color screen in
order to bring the price down.
