I Need To Buy A GPS For My Car And Need Recommendations As To What To Look For As Features....... |
|
I was wondering if anyone knew of a GPS device that also warns one of Red Light Camera intersections? Any help as to what I should buy would be appreciated.
Those of you that already have a GPS device - if you were going to buy a new one - what model would you replace your current GPS device with and why?

2. I am happy with my Magellan. For my needs it is fine. |
|
I wouldn't get anything smaller than a 4.3 display. The data is at least 2 years old.
I couldn't say for sure but a GPS with live data may be best for you. Don't know if they include red light camera locations. If there is one with that feature then would think speed traps would be available too.

3. I and my 2 sons each have Garmin. They've always been rated the |
|
best on market. I agree with the other poster who said get the larger screen. The other item I bought was the ount that fits ino your cup holde. It keeps the GPS off your windshield and easily reoves to store everything in the glove copartent or under the seat when you leave the car. I NEVER leave the car with the GPS out in view. They'e like magnets for thieves!

The two features I love are traffic and which lane to be in. They are available on the higher in Nuvi models.

4. I have a Tom Tom 930 GO. It has traffic warning capability |
|
but at an extra-cost subscription. When I purchased it the 930 was top-of-the-line but I really don't need as much capability as this one has.
