Types of GPS’s Currently Available

Are you travelling to a country that you don’t know and have decided to hire a car as your mode of transport to get around? It may seem easy just to get a GPS added as an additional extra on top of your hired vehicle, but don’t always go straight for that option as majority of the time it’s not the most cost effective!

To add satellite navigation to your hired car can cost you up to £18.00 per day in some cases with most of which not having a cap you will be charged this for the duration of your rental. Although it may not seem like a massive amount it sure does add up, so why not look into buying a GPS instead?

Here are some of the most common Sat Nav’s that you can find in hundreds of shops across the UK…

The built in easy quick start menu contained within the modern and lightweight design is more than adequate to get you from A to B through your holiday. This Sat Nav also warns you of camera locations and gives instructions of correct lane manoeuvres and all for a very reasonable price.

Also equipped with a speed camera alert system the Binatone R435 has a super bright, anti-reflection touch screen so the picture is crystal clear at all times, with clear voice guidance and millions of pre-installed points of interest to find you’ll never get lost again!
