GPS
- There are a number of manufacturers, but the top three are Garmin, Tom Tom, and Magellan. Garmin is the top dog; Tom Tom is the new kid on the block; and Magellan was the company that originated the whole concept.
- All GPS devices have the following:
* Auto-calculation of the fastest or shortest route
* A database of Points of Interest (POIs)
* Voice prompts (but that don't say the street names!)
* Maps of the lower 48 United States
- For more money you can get:
* Bigger screen
* Bluetooth
* Traffic and weather delivered to you in real time
* Much larger POI database
* Ability to route you to multiple routes on the same trip
- 今天(04-08-2008)是Futureshop 卖Nuvi250W特价的最后一天:$229 (Best buy 也同样价格), 有兴趣的赶快动手
- Magellan Maestro 4250 GPS Costco特价$249.99,今天最后一天
研究了几天，最后买了Magellan Maestro 4250
Garmin C550功能不错，但体积太大，不便携带，它有MP3播放功能，但没有FM transmitter - 我用的是Garmin 250W, 当进入复杂路线, 或者拐弯的时候, 地图会自动 Zoom In;
当转到简单的道路上, 地图又会自动Zoom Out
