No More Paper Maps!!

GPS devices are the new age for cars. Any location you’d like at a finger tip. No more worrying about opening maps, just zoom in on your location and listen to the commands about to be given to you. All the hassles of driving are gone. No more getting lost or needing a passenger next to you to help you get somewhere fun for the weekend. The GPS device is the new map, the new age for a technological world. Paper is the thing of the past; digital maps are for now the new age. http://reviews.cnet.com/4566-3490_7-0.html

Your destination is just a finger touch away. The design is so simple it’s amazing. Its map quest times 5 in your car; but better because the system gives you commands on where to go at the instant they’re happening, so you never have to take your eyes off the road.

The tiny computer like system gets signals from satellites to update roads and construction so you won’t get lost. One system I found weighed only 6.4 ounces. Its intelligence compared to its size that is unreal. A touch screen allows you to zoom in and out of areas to zone in only the local hot spots. Some GPS devices even come with features, including text-to-speech functionality, MSN Direct services, and Bluetooth, all in its tiny design.
There are five top GPS systems that I have done research on and id say they are the best in the market. I am willing to vouch for these companies, and although I don’t agree with their pricings I think that they are worth the prices.

Personally I wish I could afford a System like these but for right now I guess I can manage with a paper map. Soon enough I may be able to afford a nice model like one of those five. Unfortunately, that day probably won’t come till after college. Then maybe there will be a 3D graph or even something better that will be able to surly put these models in the outdated column.
