… it depends.

The three biggest GPS manufacturers are Garmin, Magellan and Tom Tom. Tom Tom has the best marketing campaign as most people recognize the “Tom Tom GPS” commercials from the radio and television. Magellan is another route to go if you are looking for GPS. Magellan’s “Roadmate” is an excellent choice in terms of using a car GPS device.

But the big gorilla in the world of GPS stands almost alone. This big hairy primate is Garmin GPS.

We mentioned before about the Garmin Forerunner series of GPS watches that are a boon to runners everywhere. Another way that Garmin helps you is with its Nuvi line of car GPS devices. In each price point for consumers, from budget device to very expensive and all the bells and whistles devices, Garmin has the competition pretty much beaten.

Garmin has multicolored GPS screens that can also function with touch control. Additionally, there are some Garmin GPS units that can be taken out of the car and used as handheld GPS units. These can also be used to store languages and help you translate the local language if you happen to be travelling in one of approximately 9 countries that the GPS unit supports the language.

Garmin, Magellan or Tom Tom. Each manufacturer has its fans and critics so each holds a different share of the market. If you are looking for the right one for you then we suggest doing your research (come back her more often for more information on these three) and select the one that is right for you ands your lifestyle.
