Discovering The Best Gps Accessories

Anymore, buying a GPS system is all about making sure you have the right accessories

. It's just not like you can get the main unit because they hit you with all the little sundry items: cool-looking carry cases, hardware for carrying/mounting, cables, adapters, and anything else you may want. Of course, not all accessories are the same. Some are better than others, and some are more useful than others. So how do you know which accessories are most worth your money? Actually we were curious for our own reasons, and we did some research in this area. Here is what we found out.

If you like flexibility and utility in a power adapter (AC to 12 Volt DC), then you will like the Garmin 010-10723-08 model. For one thing, you can put a charge on your GPS unit external to your vehicle. This is very helpful for people who do not travel often or who do not want to worry about running down their car battery when they need to charge their GPS. The unit plugs into your regular home AC wall plug-in, and you're good to go. Quite convenient for traveling, as well, because you can charge it overnight in your hotel room.

Seriously, every GPS unit needs a carrying case no matter what. You can spend a year looking at all the cases available, however, one highly popular case used by many is the Lowepro 4.3 Navi Shield GPS Case, and it can be seen at Amazon's store. When this is written, you can pick it up for something a bit less than fifteen dollars. For one thing, the Lowepro 4.3 Navi Shield case is hard-shelled in construction. It has padding on the inside so that, even if you drop it, your GPS system will be protected. It also has space for a charger and extra memory cards and can fit into your car's glove box or a center console compartment.

If you do a lot of traveling, one of the GPS accessories that you are going to want to pick up is an international adapter. A GPS can be a lifesaver at the most unexpected times, and in reality there are quite a few travelers who don't leave home without it. Obviously an adapter will alleviate all charging issues as long as you have an outlet to use. If you're traveling with others, there's nothing wrong with having several adaptors just in case.

Not everything is created equal, and that also applies to GPS extras and accessory items. Naturally, there will be differences in quality and other considerations. If you are shopping locally, make a decision on what you want to buy that is based on solid research. Doing your research ahead of time will help you make sure that you get the absolute best accessories that you want for the prices that you want to pay.
