Handheld GPS »
Choosing a handheld gps device can be somewhat confusing. There are many models, options and variations of units on the market. Some factors you should take into consideration when considering handheld GPS reviews are: price, display type, the size of the unit, and accuracy.
Price is often one of the most important factors in your decision to buy a handheld GPS. Choosing a model that is cheap may not provide you with some of the nicer features, such as 3-D terrain mapping or a large number of waypoints. Of course, on the other end of the spectrum, prices are higher but the features are plentiful. Make sure you are getting good value for those features – most people don’t need them all.
Depending on the application, you may not want to carry around a large GPS device. Some units will fit in a pocket, others have large antenna. Many modern handheld GPSs are very small and can fit in the palm of your hand. Remember, if you plan to keep it in your pocket, you may not want a touch screen model. Be aware that size and shape can also be important if you want to mount it in a vehicle.
Make sure you are happy with the display of the GPS model you choose. Some are very nice, with color screens and high resolution but others are more basic and have less information available on-screen. It is wise to check the display in bright conditions before you make a purchase. Be certain that you can see important details like maps and directions.

TomTom GPS »
Although I have always been a fan of Garmin GPS devices, with all its competitors (Such as Navigon, Magellan and TomTom) catching up in terms of design and features, one can’t help but to wonder if Garmin is slowly loosing its edge. In this article, we are going to take a closer look at the TomTom Go 740 Live GPS navigator. At the time of writing, I think that it is just one of the most advanced GPD device in the market.
The TomTom Go 740 Live has a built-in wireless data connection. This connection allows the access of a variety of information on the device. For instance, you can perform a local search (powered by Google). You can search for restaurants, points of interest, and other local destinations. The search results come with a whole array of information on the destination, such as telephone number and modes of payments accepted (for restaurants) and many more. It can also search for the latest fuel prices in a particular locality.
Another cool feature found on the TomTom Go 740 Live is the TomTom Buddies feature that allows you to share your location with other TomTom Go users. Using this feature, you can also send messages to one another on the device. The price of purchase comes with 3 months of live services. After that, you will need to pay a $10 monthly fee for the services.
