You should balance it out by getting something in the middle and will be vital for your uses.
3. Even though GPS units are had held, it should have a large display. It should also light up especially during the evening when you are driving in the middle of nowhere and unsure if it is the right way to go.
4. The best GPS systems are those that can be used even after getting out of the car. It will also be a good idea if this gadget is waterproof since it would be bad if it quit working because it got wet.

Other accessories will also come in handy such as a suction cap to stick it on the windshield and charger that is powered by the car's lighter switch.
