How to choose the best GPS for you

When you decide to go on a holiday you need a good guide to help you not to get lost.
The GPS devices seem to be the best option no matter where you wish to go. They are easy to use and so useful that even a mole would find its way on a sunny street.

What makes the difference?

The Software
Well firstly, the most important aspect of a GPS device is its software.

The Voice
Then, the voice of the "guide" - it is the best to have the guide speak into your native language. In case you are not a full time translator you might get lost.

Easy Route Guidance
Another thing I look for on a GPS is the "easy route guidance".Too many options mean, most of the times, not an easy gadget to administer.
I generally use the GPS to guide me to historical places in a town, to places where I could grab a snack , markets or gas stations. This feature is available on almost all basic GPS devices.

The Display- The Bigger, The Better
You don't want to stare at a tiny digital map. Most of the times the vocal guidance is not enough when you are abroad, so you will need to look on your GPS display in order to find out if you are on the right route or not.

The possibility of uploading maps
This is one of the most important features of a GPS. If you cannot upload maps, you won't be able to upgrade your GPS. I like the GPS devices which are equipped with as many maps as possible so that I would have the most detailed image of the city or region I am visiting, no matter where that it would be.


The Price
The most expensive is not always the best.
