Remember the days when you had to actually go out and purchase a map? Or how about the days when you had to get onto a mapping website and had to print out turn-by-turn directions? Yes, you were able to see all sorts of unique things by winding up on the wrong roads, but you weren’t able to actually get where you were going within a decent amount of time, and let’s not talk about having to get back to your house. GPS units have completely changed the game. They make it so that you can get wherever you want, within a decent amount of time, without having to deal with a great deal of stress. And let’s not even talk about the amount of marriages that have been saved simply because no one has to stop and ask for directions anymore! With today’s GPS units you can not only enjoy spoken turn-by-turn directions, along with a thorough map, but you can also get information about gas prices as well as traffic updates, making driving much more relaxing than it has ever been. Going In-Dash There is a lot to be said about portable GPS units, including the fact that you can take the GPS unit with you wherever you go and that it is easily hidden whenever you’re not in the vehicle. But they can also fall off of the windshield or dash fairly easily and that can be a complete pain. Going with in-dash navigation systems is actually a wonderful idea simply because there are a number of benefits that you can’t get with portable GPS units, including:

• No visible wires - Who wants to clutter up their car with a wire hanging from the GPS unit to the power outlet.
• No dead battery – Anyone who’s had a GPS unit die on them knows how frustrating it can be. When you have an in-dash GPS unit you never have to worry about the GPS dying out on you.
• Always available – A portable GPS unit is easy to hide, which can be great, but it can also be easy to forget, and what’s the point of having a GPS system if you don’t have it with you when you need it?
• Easy repair – In-dash GPS units are often much easier to repair than portable GPS units, giving owners a sense of security.

Today’s in-dash navigation units are much more stylish than their clunky ancestors. Now you can even get in-dash GPS units that are literally hidden away in the dash until you need them, which is when they pop out for you to use. They can even be connected to your iPod and some can even do more than that. If you’re curious about whether or not a GPS unit will really help you, borrow a portable one from a friend and try driving around for a few weeks with it. You’ll see that a GPS unit, no matter whether you live in the city or the country, is invaluable.
