Deciding the Right GPS Receiver for You
With all of the different choices you have in GPS receivers that are on the market these days, you may feel a little overwhelmed in deciding which one you want. While you will want something that will meet your needs, you may want some features that you never even knew existed, so we’ll help guide you along the way when it comes to knowing what to look for in a GPS receiver.
These suggestions come in no particular order, but they are things that you will have to think about when choosing a GPS. Each component of your GPS system will work together to give you the choices that you are looking for and the performance that you need.
First, look at the display. Look for color displays that are easy to see in all lighting conditions, such as the one found on the Lowrance iWay 500c. Select a GPS model with a good color screen that can be read in all lighting conditions.

The larger the screen, the more expensive the unit will be, but even big screens can be difficult to read in direct sunlight. Also, check the viewing performance of the display to make sure you can read it from any angle.
Look for a model that includes street-level maps. Some manufacturers charge extra to unlock maps from their Web sites or CDs, while others include only partial regions. This can get expensive if you’re planning a cross-country trip. Make sure you can update the unit’s firmware and mapping data.
On most portable models, a USB or serial port lets you connect the system to a PC, where you can upload the latest maps and system software as it becomes available. On in-dash models, maps are typically read from an integrated DVD or CD player and require only the latest discs to be brought up-to-date.

Choose a GPS unit to fit your traveling habits. If you do a lot of long-distance driving, consider a model with a dedicated hard drive that stores maps of the entire country. Otherwise, a model that uses an SD card to store maps is a good bet, and you can buy additional cards to load more maps when necessary.
If you want to share one unit between many vehicles, look for a model that is lightweight and easy to install and remove from your vehicle. Stay away from permanent mounting devices unless you plan on using the unit in just one vehicle.
