Gps Drive App
Which GPS navigator might be a good choice for me?
Here’s my situation. I have an iPod touch but I’m worried that if I download a GPS app that it will need wireless internet and if I’m driving I obviously won’t have an internet connection. So I don’t want to waste my money on something that might not work.
I won’t be using GPS a lot but it would be nice to have about once a month.
I really can’t afford to spend a lot on GPS but I really need it for an upcoming vacation.
Any ideas?
GPS technology has expanded over a few years. You can basically buy any GPS that has the features of the high end known brands (Garmin and Tom Tom) for half the price. Newelectronx sells GPS mobile device for cars, walking, running, hiking, camping, and motorcycles.
The Newelectronx GPS gives you more than just knowing where you are and where you are headed. Now you can receive real time traffic alerts, listen to your favorite MP3s and use Bluetooth to integrate information to and from your mobile phone including calls and voice read text messages. Even if you know your way around the area, the Newelectronx GPS units can instantly locate airports, restaurants, hospitals and other points of interest with directions on how to get there from your present location.
When traveling in an unfamiliar area a GPS unit performs as a safety device. There are areas that are not safe – especially if you have car trouble or a flat tire. If you find yourself in this situation the GPS unit can locate help or mobile repair services including addresses and phone numbers.
Multiple routes can be accessed. Avoid toll roads; choose the scenic route instead of the quickest one.
Get all the features of two of the most popular brands of GPS units (TomTom and Garmin) for half the price. The newelectronx GPS can be used inside or outside of your vehicle.
Newelectronx is a company based in USA that includes 2010 maps on each GPS. They are manufactured by an American company and their customer service is located in USA. Newelectronx offers 2 standalone units that have the pleasures and features of both Garmin and Tom Tom in one GPS. Map upgrades are FREE.
TomTom is a global company based overseas. They are manufactured by a Dutch company and their customer service is located in Amsterdam. TomTom currently charges for map upgrades, about $50 to $99 per map upgrade.
Garmin’s original founders were Gary Burrell and Min H. Kao. Although one was from the US and one was from Taiwan they joined together to form a company that both felt was the future of Navigation – GPS technology. Garmin International, Inc., headquarters for the parent company, Garmin Ltd, is located in Olathe, Kansas. Garmin Ltd. is incorporated in Cayman Islands. Garmin GPS devices are made in China or Taiwan to be more specific. Again, Garmin charges for maps – about $70 to $99 per map upgrade.

Newelectronx units have bright clear touch screen displays and clear sounding speakers. They have adequate amounts of internal storage space as well as expansion slots for SD cards. Fast CPUs respond quickly to your demands. They are easily updated via a USB port. Here is some other stuff the Newelectronx gps has:
* The widescreen display is a generous 5 inches of touchscreen delight that provides a wide screen version of maps.
* Optional real-time traffic and weather reports
* Maps for all 50 US states, Puerto Rico and Canada – more available on request
* Turn-by-turn voice directions with street names
* Integrated Bluetooth
* Compass mode
* Anti glare screen

Prices for either the TomTom or Garmin units start at around $150 and go up to over $600. The more these units progress the more features are included. They are actually becoming as much a personal assistant and they are GPS units. They are now small enough to be carried in your pocket or purse and can be used inside or outside of the vehicle. The voice integration is a real safety feature as is the Bluetooth handsfree ability for your cell phone. The Newelectronx units are only $105 each and have everything that the Garmin and Tom Tom have, but at a cheaper price. The Newelectronx versions are very slim and stylish – almost thinner and lighter than a iPod or iPhone.
