The functionality of the GPS navigation device was recognized ever since the beginning. People welcomed the opportunity to travel without worrying about getting lost or taking the wrong turn. The GPS soon became a very important accessory and the increased demand contributed to the appearance of a genuine industry. Today, there are mind-blowing features that GPS units have, including speech recognition, transfer of real-time information and Bluetooth technology. And what’s more important, anyone can have a cheap GPS!
Don’t think that a discount GPS is not capable to offer interesting features. On the contrary, the price is not connected at all to the quality of service. You have the Internet and its many specialized virtual stores that try to attract potential customers with cheap GPS offers. These can take you to the destination you desire, offering both verbal and text instructions, having a battery life that varies between three and five hours. They are perfect for car traveling but also for walks, allowing you to always know your position and be able to call for emergency help.
Using the Internet, you are able to shop and compare for different types of GPS systems. In the end, you will definitely agree that finding a discount GPS was not a hard job at all. Just think about owning your own device that calculates the route for you, tells when you will arrive to the destination and the name of the streets you are passing. This guidance can be especially useful on difficult weather conditions, such as heavy rain or constant snowing. It also helps to have a GPS system if just obtained your driving license.
Online, you can browse through all the categories presented for GPS systems. There are specially designed GPS units for cars but also for motorcycles, plus a wide range of accessories. Having so many choices put to your disposal, it’s practically impossible not to find a cheap GPS system that you like. You can find one that has voice recognition, wide touch screen and user-friendly menu. A discount GPS can really add a new perspective to the whole driving experience. Considering that and the great prices these devices have, can you really say no to a brand new and cheap GPS?
Your GPS is useful when it comes to finding the restaurants you’ve made dinner reservations to on a foggy night. It is perfect for rainy days when you have to travel on the country. The discount GPS can take you to the destination of your choice, making sure that you know how far you have to travel and providing with all the details you need regarding the route. With some models, you will also be offered traffic information and be able to avoid streets that are blocked or constructions, not to mention accidents or traffic blockages.
The moment you decide to purchase a GPS system, take into consideration all of the features that such a device presents. Try and find the best price using the Internet to your advantage. Make sure that you read all the information presented regarding the display, the accessories offered (USB cable for example, use it to connect the GPS to the computer) and other navigation features. Other from that, you are set to go and travel, always having the GPS device by your side!

Recommend the Magellan RoadMate 2200T with Text to Speech and North America mapping software for $119 only.
I think that's pretty cheap don't you?
Depending by your physical location, Auto Nav 2000 Plus, Inc a REAL retail store that sells nothing but GPS units ONLY!
http://www.autonav2000.com/mall/anProdList2.asp?GroupID=192
or a Garmin Nuvi 205 http://www.autonav2000.com/mall/anProdDetail.asp?ProdID=774
There are several different options out there. Look at the ones designed for tracking family members and kids. Amazon has a good selection and the reviews provide good information.
What does it mean the number above the fish
Its just DEMO Mode from 565 , i just want to show the resolution from LCD is very good…
First, virtually all GPS units designed for automotive use are unsuitable for geocaching. Second, your requirements, taken together, are mutually exclusive. I can suggest a good, cheap GPS for driving or a good cheap GPS for geocaching but I really don't have a good, cheap GPS that does both. The cheap portion is where the problem comes in.
There are hand held units that are capable of routing and providing directions (although they usually don't talk). I use my Garmin 60 CSx for caching and driving as well as for bicycle and motorcycle riding. Problem is that with the GPS itself, plus detailed maps, you are pushing $400. You might almost be better off buying a (relatively) inexpensive automotive GPS and a (relatively) inexpensive hand held. You could probably put together a pair for about $250 that would fit your needs.
how did u hook that up in ur house?????
That's funny– you're looking for an item that helps you look at where you are! huh????
Try EBay. Keep an eye on the seller's rating and positive feedback and you can determine who's safe to buy from. I go to EBay all the time for gadgets and electronics and haven't been disappointed yet!
Have a great day!!!
TomTom! Special deal right now! $99.99 Heres the site… http://www.tomtom.com/page/giftguide?Lid=4&selector=true&gclid=CMGqqbeu5ZcCFQpuGgodkW4RCg
can you turn this thing on while not in the water what would happen can u show a vid on that thanks
I suggest either of the following – the eTrex H for $80 or the eTrex Venture HC for $115. The eTrex connects with a serial cable, and your computer might not have a serial port. It is very basic, with no mapping capability and a monochrome screen. The eTrex Venture HC has a color screen and longer battery life. It has 24MB of storage space for you to install maps if you want, and it uses a USB cable, which will definitely work with your computer if you bought it in the last 10 years.
The computer connectivity is needed because it will make it easier for you to have a lot of geocaches on your receiver. When you enter things manually, it takes more time and there is more of a chance for coordinate entry errors.
If you don't need maps and just want to record tracks and waypoints, you can get away with using the Garmin eTrex H for about US$80. If you want a handheld that can store maps and do turn-by-turn directions as well, go for the eTrex Legend HCx or the GPSmap 60Cx.
In that price range, there are several features that are different from one model to the next:
Size: The newer models are slimmer (less thick) and can fit in a pocket. The old ones are bulb-shaped, "uglier" and harder to carry with you.
Display screen: The better ones have a wider screen (around 3.8 inch wide instead of 2.8 inch). Here wider is better. Easier to see the map and easier to type addresses.
Text-to-speech: The GPS reads the street name (in a computer voice, but good enough to understand). when it tells you to turn. Very useful.
Points of interest: These are pre-programmed locations of restaurants, hotels, gas stations, etc. When you are traveling out of town, it's nice to use the GPS to find a place near you to eat or stay the night. Cheaper GPS models have 1 million of them preloaded (sounds like a lot, but they will miss many places), better ones have more than 6 million. Many but not all will let you add your own.
MP3 player: Can play music with the GPS. Nice if your car radio doesn't play MP3, but the GPS sound quality is only so-so. More useful for audio books than music.
FM transmitter: The directions and music from the GPS can be transmitted so they play through your car radio instead of coming out of the GPS. Not a big deal to me but some people like it.
Bluetooth. For hands-free cell phone talk. I don't like to use the phone while driving, but it's nice to pick up the call and tell people you'll call them back without fumbling around with the phone. Even if your phone doesn't have Bluetooth today, I think it'll be common soon.
Accessories: On cheaper models they don't give you an AC adapter (only way to charge is through the car cigarette lighter) and USB cable (to connect to your computer for music transfer or new map download). Most people will want them and have to buy separately, which is a pain. Check first what comes in the box before you buy.
Quality of traffic directions and ease of use: People sometimes argue about which is better, Garmin, Magellan, TomTom or some other brands. I'll stay out of that here.
GPS manufacturers package the above things around for every budget range, so find the model that has the right combination for you. At $300, you'll get about half the things I listed above, maybe more if you get a good sale price. Happy hunting.
