Forget the maps
Stop fussing with unwieldy paper maps and install a GPS (global positioning system) in your car. Simply input your current
location and where you want to go, and the system plots the best route using preloaded mapping software. Then it directs you
using both on-screen maps and spoken turn-by-turn instructions.
GPS devices come standard with many new cars (or are available as a pricey option). But now there are portable models on the
market that are far less costly. Easy to install, these systems are stand-alone units with a 3- to 4-inch screen and a built-in
antenna that communicates with satellites orbiting high above. They mount on your windshield, dashboard or console, and power
up via your vehicle's lighter or electrical outlet. Take a look at the options on these pages and you'll never have to ask
for directions again!
