A GPS Device Can Save You Time And Effort

March 4th, 2010



Recently I made a trip to Los Angeles, CA and rented a car, they offered me to include a GPS device, and I am so glad I did, It was like having somebody who knows perfectly all the streets, highways etc. sitting next to you as your co-pilot.

A GPS (Global Positioning System) uses satellite signals to locate your position around the globe, this combined with pre charged maps can give you the exact directions to drive from where you are to any place you want to go, just knowing its adress.

This device has a touch screen, where the software prompts you to enter the city where you want to drive in or to, then the street adress and then “wow” it gives you the route to follow, with a on-screen map, indications step by step and turn by turn until you reach your destination. While driving, you don’t need to see the screen, because a human voice is telling you steps like “prepare to turn right in 0.5 miles” or in 105 yards, keep left” and continues doing it until you arrive to the place you are going, without having to pull over to check maps.

At this point you may be thinking, what if I make a wrong turn and get out of the route? no problem, the sistem instantly recalculates the route and gives you new instructions. Cool huh?

There are several kinds and brands of this devices, and everyday their prices are getting lower, so this is a nice gadget you must start thinking to have in your car.

A GPS System Can Save You Gas

November 27th, 2009



In the present economy, fluctuating gas prices can be a concern for many. For those living in the big cities, it is possible to get past this problem – if willing or able to make use of transportation systems, such as taking the subway, the bus, or a cab. Even so, for the majority that needs to drive their own vehicle, you cannot easily escape from this.

Installing a GPS auto navigation system in a vehicle, can have the affect of reducing the cost of gas. You might wonder how that is possible. The benefit of a Global Positioning Systems is that it will consistently offer the most direct route to a desired destination.

If driving in an unfamiliar area or in a hard downpour, with low-visibility, a GPS auto navigation system can assist in directing you no matter the conditions or destination. Again, this results in a saving that would otherwise been spent on gas, but also saves time, and relieves the frustrations of being lost.

A GPS system will not just suggest the most direct route; it is also able to give an alternative route, and an estimation of how long that different path will take. This enables a comparison in journeys, and time needed to complete a trip – so that you are able to opt for the preferred route. If you consider the plus points to installing a GPS unit – you can appreciate that the cost of the devise is not really too costly when compared to the possible future savings.

Here is an example for you – if it is costing $45 to fill the gas tank, and that tank is filled once per week (at a minimum), then the total expense per year is $2340 on gas. If, however, a GPS gadget is installed in the vehicle, the length of the journeys will be shortened, due to taking the most direct route. This in turn, results in less gas consumption. If this reduces the frequency of needing to fill up at the gas station – say by half in extreme cases, you could be saving $1000+ per year on gas.

That gives a general idea of the possible future savings. Your actual figures will be different, but it is possible to see the potential savings to installing a good GPS auto navigation system. GPS systems vary in price depending on needs, but an sufficient system can cost in the region of $200 to $400.
