With so many options confronting GPS buyers today, we thought we would give you our list of reasons why a Portable Car GPS outperforms a built-in system or trying to use cell phone for navigation.

VS Built-in systems:

• Portable GPS units are MUCH less expensive than built-in systems.
• You can easily move a portable GPS betweeen vehicles, eliminating the need for multiple units if you have more than one car, or even a motorcycle.
• You can use them in a rental car, spouse's car or a friends car.
• They are easier to update and generally have more current information.
• With a portable, if you buy a new car, you don't have to buy a new GPS system too.
• Many built-in units require the purchase of expensive map DVD's, however the portables do not.
• You can easily do home planning with a portable GPS.

VS Cell Phones:

• Navigation is the primary function instead of a secondary one making it MUCH easier to use.
• They have bigger and better screens than cell phones.
• There is no monthly fee for GPS units, cell phones have additional fees for the navigation functions.
• Portable GPS units have advanced features like touch screens, traffic and more.
• They have much better audio than cell phones.
