Hunting in
GPS sales
The best way to get a good deal in the area of portable
navigation systems is when equipment suppliers hold GPS sales.
This happens when the units in stock are to be superseded by
newer, more modern items. In fact, prices are already so
reasonable for navigation systems that you might not even have
to wait for a supplier to hold one of their GPS sales.
One of the reasons that prices have come down so much is because
manufacturing and selling the units has become profitable. The
technology available is now mature, and GPS sales high enough
that it has become a consumer item, as opposed to a semi
professional specialist item.
The features that have driven GPS sales up are mainly the ease
of use as an alternative to a compass, and not really the fact
that the units can hold a full map, and pinpoint your position
on them. These are still relatively expensive, seeing as the
maps must often be purchased in addition to the basic unit.
With GPS sales on the rise, generally, however, we can expect
that prices will generally fall further, and the technology
improve to the point that map data will become cheaper too. In
the first units, which were restricted to vehicular GPS systems,
the map data was included on a CD, which was the only way to get
the data into the GPS.
These days, portable GPS navigation systems are generally
connectable to a PC, via USB or serial connectors. This means
that they can be more versatile, and data shared more easily,
making them more useful, and driving GPS sales up further, which
in turn helps to bring prices down.
