GPS Touchscreen Technology For Your Car

By Yaha Jones




Most people have now gotten used to touchscreen on their phones and computers, but did you know that touchscreen technology is now also available on your car's GPS too? That's right. If you would only search on Google for different touchscreen car GPS, you will find several brands that are already on the market.

This touchscreen piece of hardware is designed to help create directions for you to reach your destination while you travel on the road. These devices can come very handy if you are trying to look for a new address you have never been to before.

If you've been meaning to get a touchscreen GPS, go ahead and buy one. However, before you buy, there are some criteria for what makes a good GPS, and your unit should meet them: 1. Waterproof, 2. Color touchscreen, 3. A comprehensive base map, 4. Micro SD slot for updating the software, 5. Highly-Sensitive GPS Receiver, and 6. Intelligent route mapping.

Another feature that has greatly improved usability and safety of these devices is the improved of the touch screen technology that most of them feature. Early devices often had sub-par screens that were difficult to read and use.

Instead of having to look down to figure out what to do after every turn you can listen to voice commands. These commands will notify you when a turn, offramp, or any change in direction by your part while you drive should be made. Voice command options are much safer than all GPS versions since you can concentrate on the road more often.

The features mentioned above are really just the basic fun features of a decent GPS. You should know that some GPS brands have features that are reminiscent of tablet PCs: WiFi, media player, e-book reader, etc.

Before buying a GPS for your car, make sure you read reviews. These reviews should give you an idea about the many features of a particular brand. And that's our take on touchscreen car GPS systems.
