Portable in-car GPS system, what is the best for the money? November 29, 2009
I’m planning on purchasing a gps in-car system. I would like a really good one, but I don’t want to just throw ;my money away. Which system can I get the most bang for the buck?
For the most “bang for your buck” you have to look at Mio. They are a company that makes GPS systems. They will have the most features for the lowest price. They have some fairly cheap GPS units that will get you a basic GPS plus some features that only more expensive units will have.
One of the models that you could look at is the Mio C310X. It is a really nice unit and works really well. It also has a mp3 player in it which is a plus. It is last years model so i don’t know how easy it is for you to find one but they will be a great deal. They used to sell them for around $200-$250. This unit compares to units in the range of $350-$500 so it is the best for the money.
Check out that unit and the newer Mio units. . . Circuit city and office max are the only two places i can remember that carry Mio.
Good Luck!!
megellans is good stuff that works just a good garmin and half the price
TomTom One is a good one , they run about $250 now . Garmin , TomTom and Magellan are the the most well bought brands . I have the TomTom One and its very accurate and reliable. Get the base models in any particular brand , because added features you may never use drive up the price.
