After market navigation units use the newest technology and mapping software to get you from one place to another without error. Also, with today’s advancing technology, you can get portable GPS navigation for far less than the steep price tag that dealerships charge when including factory navigation.

A portable GPS navigation system provides lots of options, besides giving directions. You can use all sorts of items, such as an iPod, cell phone and TV applications. Buying these items as add-ons is really the way to go. These systems provide more than just directions, though. Many of them attach to your windshield and run from the vehicle’s battery. A big bonus of these systems is that they can go just about anywhere- just plug them in to the outlet in your car and go!

Some Garmin portable GPS units also have built-in batteries to provide you with navigation even without an external power source. The popular and versatile Garmin Nuvi 350 GPS Navigator comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that will last up to 8 hours on a single charge. Although it has a good size screen it is compact enough to fit easily in a pocket or purse. The Garmin Nuvi 350 Personal Travel Assistant provides much more than directions; it has an Mp3 player, an audio book player and much more.

Also, you can use a GPS system called the in-dash. This system has an interactive monitor, where you can type in the address to get directions. This unit fits where your car radio goes and replaces it.

With options like Bluetooth, iPod integration, satellite radio, and TV tuners, as well as systems that are designed to fit both standard, and large radios, you can build a system for any vehicle with all the options at a fraction of the cost of dealership installation.

When you load more points of interest into your unit, you will have a better chance of finding your destination easily. Already loaded onto your unit are hard drive maps. These can be easily updated by downloading new ones from your home system and using your SD Card or DVD to load them onto your hard drive. You insert the DVD, on which actual maps are located, into the system. To stay current with the changes in your area, you can purchase new updated DVDs in the future.

Now portable navigation systems are affordable no matter what your budget. It’s a small price to pay for all the functionality and entertainment and the satisfaction of knowing that you will never again have to pull over and ask for directions.

The addition of portable GPS navigation in your vehicle is relatively inexpensive especially when compared to the overpriced dealership charge that comes when you order a factory navigation system. After market units use the most current technology and maps to help you get where you want to go with the greatest accuracy. Some Garmin portable GPS units have built-in batteries that allow you to navigate without needing an external power source. The Garmin Nuvi 350 Personal Travel Assistant gives you more than just directions; for starters its features include an Mp3 player and an audio book player!
