The standard on GPS screen size is about to change. Currently, the standard is 3.5 inches. Now, however, manufacturers have come out with a magnificent new 4.3 inch widescreen version of the GPS. There is some controversy among users. Some say they would prefer a taller screen rather than a wider one.
But others claim they are preferable once you try them out. You may be surprised at the total difference since the screens are measured diagonally rather than by width or height. That indicates that the screen will be higher as well as wider. This additional space on the screen gives you a better perception of what is ahead and on the periphery of your visual field. This is an additional benefit of having a GPS in the first place as you feel more relaxed about your ability to keep an eye on where you are going.
There are many other features to consider when selecting a GPS such as the adhesive disc to mount the unit on the dashboard, bean bag dash mount, case, USB cable and vehicle DC power cord. You can perform various functions such as being guided to the right lane in preparation for exiting, see the road signs and junctions, call with your compatible phone through the built-in microphone and speaker system, use convenient planning of the most fuel-efficient route and automatically mark your position when you remove it from the vehicle.
You can remember exactly where you parked your car and it aids you in locating a parking space at the mall. Get traffic alerts and compare the price of gas at different stations. Find information about anything without difficulty.
A GPS may not be functional inside or even under a building's overhang. You must be below the sky to avoid obstructing the signals. In Minnesota or California you are prohibited by law to mount your GPS on the windshield. Fortunately, there are dashboard mounting discs that will be a good alternative.
Receive your voice-prompted instructions to your intended location and even hear the street names as you travel. This indispensable unit is priced within most budgets whether you select the 3.5 inch screen or the new panoramic view on the 4.3 inch screen. Safety and visual clarity are provided wherever you may travel.
