Best budget GPS devices
- — 16 November, 2010 15:20
Now has never been a better time to buy a GPS navigation device.
Spending less doesn't mean your navigation experience will be an inferior one — aside from giving you turn-by-turn directions, even the cheapest GPS units will allow you to locate points of interest (POIs), save your favourite locations and explore new places. The main differences between a budget GPS unit and a high-end one are generally unnecessary add-ons like Bluetooth hands-free capabilities, live traffic information, MP3 playback and FM transmitters.
We've rounded-up our favourite budget GPS units on the market from Garmin, TomTom, Navman and Navigon.
