Finding Your Way in the World – The Different Types of GPS Devices

When it comes to the best handheld GPS systems, the first and only name that pops into our mind is Garmin. This company has been producing the highest quality GPS devices in the 21st century, for a very good price. Garmin’s products are well known for their extremely sensitive positioning and tracking, as well as their long battery life and reliability.

The latest addition to the higher end of the handheld GPS devices’ spectrum is the Oregon series. The main distinguishing feature of the Oregon series is the large, 3-inch diameter touchscreen. Yes, you no longer need a dozen buttons on the handheld unit, which means there’s finally enough space for a large, color LCD screen.

All the models of the series come with many features. Actually, I can’t think of any more really useful features. Here’s a complete list, with some description:

Electronic compass
This is a very useful tool. Most GPS devices can only determine your direction while you’re moving. A digital compass however, will always show your direction with pinpoint (2 degrees) accuracy.

Barometric altimeter
This shows your altitude wherever you are, with 3 feet accuracy. Another important function for hikers.

Wireless unit-to-unit transfer
Now this is a feature I’ve been looking for a long time. You can share trails, waypoints, caches and other information with your travel mates very easily, if they also have Oregon GPS units. No cables or SD cards needed. Be aware that the Oregon 200 doesn’t support this feature.

Other features include:
Custom points of interest, picture viewer, hunting and fishing calendar, geocaching mode, area calculation and many more. Garmin Oregon is the swiss army knife of handheld GPS systems.

Which brings us to the most popular consumer GPS device; the GPS navigating system. The most familiar of these is the in-car GPS unit that shows you map of where you are going and tells you through voice commands how to get there. These GPS devices are either mounted in the cars dash or are portable and can be moved between vehicles. Some navigational units offer a feature whereby you can find restaurants, shopping, hospitals, and accommodations regardless of where you are; this can be incredibly useful when hunting services in a town with which you are unfamiliar.

Oregon 300
The next step, with all the features and 850 megabytes of memory. It costs only 50 bucks more than the Oregon 200, making this the best handheld GPS unit in this price range.

Oregon 400
This model is an extended version of the 300. It comes with 4 Gigabytes of memory and some maps installed. Three versions of the 400 are available:
– 400t, which comes with a topographic map of the US.
– 400c with Bluechart g2, and
– 400i with maps of inland lakes.
All three models cost 600 dollars. Make sure you buy the one with the map you need.

The Oregon series is the choice of the professional hikers, fishermen, hunters and other adventureous individuals. For its price, the Oregon 300 is the best handheld GPS system currently on the market

Why This is Such a Popular and Quality Sat Nav System – Garmin Nuvi 255WT GPS

Fully Integrated Car GPS

The Integrated Car GPS Systems is a GPS that comes along with the car. Put in the my manufacturer the car GPS is fully integrated with the car navigation system.

GPS handhelds can be activated in cell phones and PDA’s. The moment you feel the need to activate your GPS, you just need to click a single button on your gadget, and this will automatically make use of your service provider to determine your exact location.

For instance last week I was offered a lift by a newly formed acquaintance. He lived in some other city but had motored down to attend a seminar. I had come from another continent to attend the same seminar and was staying with friends. Except for the address of my friend’s place I absolutely had no idea about how to reach the place save taking public transport.

With precision hunting techniques, GPS handhelds can now serve its main purpose in making the task of navigation easier for a lot of people who move from one place to another. It almost seems impossible how a person can live without the presence of gadgets with such features.

Personalise Your Sat Nav
The Garmin Nuvi 255WT sat nav allows you to choose your own background photograph. And if you wish to personalise your screen even further, you can select a new vehicle icon from the Garmin Garage. This way you can tailor your Garmin to suit your personality and style. And if you go abroad and struggles with the local language then the optional plug-in microSD cards such as Garmin Travel and Language Guides are a great option.

Portable Car GPS

Portable and handheld GPS is the cheaper alternative for those who can’t afford to buy those fancy car models with integrated GPS systems. But they are not in any way less effective. In some ways this might be better because you buy a model that will really suit your needs not take what the manufacturer offers. You can choose from a whole range of GPS systems for cars from Garmin, Magellan, TomTom and many more other GPS manufacturing companies. You will need additional software with that and a laptop that is connected to the GPS for it to give you turn by turn by directions.
