Talk about GPS Devices

GPS called Global Positioning System which received satellite signal from satellite to earth or your GPS device. By another words, it actually transfer the signal to your GPS system and located your current position and translate into the software.

Every time when I travel to oversea for my business assignment, I will ask my travel agent to book the car with GPS system. This GPS system actually helps me a lot especially from Airport to Hotel or shopping or any tourist attraction area. In the market, there are actually have a lot of different brand of GPS systems but what I highly recommended is Garmin brand.

Why we want to buy GPS systems and how actually it helps us during travel? A lot of people might think and said GPS system very expensive and costly. We can use paper maps instead of GPS system. But if we have this kind of thinking than it is wrong because GPS not only give us step by step direction but also tell us shortage way to reach our destination and a lot of valuable information we may get it, for example, traffic information on road, gas or petrol station, hotel, restaurant and etc. But we have to choose some reliable software as well like Tom-Tom software. They actually have very good website that allowed us to upgrade our map for free compare to other company we have to keep purchase new version of software. But of cause we need to have Tom-Tom GPS system in order to download free map.

I personally have bought a unit of Garmin GPS receiver a few years back. I hook it up to my laptop and my latest cell phone and it will ease me when travel to oversea. Don’t you think to purchase one? I bet you, you will going to love it later.
