There's a reason that portable GPS navigators are so popular with motorists, they can be taken from the car. Portable GPS navigators are those that aren't integrated permanently into your vehicle, and generally you just have a bracket that allows you to mount your device on the dashboard. They are usually powered by your vehicle's cigarette lighter. These don't need a professional installer, and you can generally use them also as handheld devices. These GPS units are less expensive than built-in models, and you can easily use them in other vehicles. They should not be left in your vehicle when you leave it, since they are quite easy to steal.
