Handheld GPS Devices

Jan 15, 2011

I have always been a fan of GPS systems. As someone who frequently gets lost it’s kind of a necessity. Thankfully the car that we ended up buying has a GPS system built in but unfortunately it hasn’t been updated since 2007 and since the disc to update it is about $250, we’re probably better off just being a handheld device like a Garmin GPS.

I’m heard some wonderful things about Garmin but I myself haven’t had the chance to try the system out so I can’t really say if it’s something we should invest in. For those who own a handheld GPS unit whether it is Garmin or not, what are your thoughts? Is it worth the investment or do you think we’d be better off paying $250 for the upgrade disc for our car?

Either way it is something that we’ll be looking into if we can’t find that disc for a lower price. I mean seriously, $250?! That’s beyond obscene… at least to us. Others may feel differently of course.
