NAVIGATION ROUNDUP: RAISING THE BAR ON PORTABLE NAV CAPABILITY

摘要

You've got to love portable nav units. Sure they can be bulky sitting on top of your dash. And yes those wires connecting them to your stereo or to the cigarette lighter can look messy. But their versatility makes up for some of the cons. If you have two vehicles and don't want to buy navigation for each, try a portable. If you're renting or borrowing a friend's car, all you have to do is stick the unit onto the dash and plug the power cord into the cigarette lighter. (Don't try this with an in-dash unit.) Lastly, the chronically paranold can opt to take their pricey GPS gadget out of the car whenever they park.
