PC GPS Systems

• Before getting started with a PC GPS you must first make sure your PC has a GPS receiver. If it doesn't, you may need to buy an additional GPS locator stick. Some software packages offer one included in their price.
  
  

Options

• The options to look for, and consider, while choosing the right PC GPS are: voice options, scenic route or avoid toll routes option, truck driver options, recreational vehicle options. Some other things to look for are surrounding food, gas stations and hotels options. To make the right decision, look at the options the software offers.
  
  

Large Vehicles/Updates

• Consider how much it costs to upgrade for future versions. Routes, streets and points of interest change from year to year. If you are a truck driver or recreational vehicle owner, ensure the GPS handles larger vehicles so height restrictions are taken into consideration.
