A GPS Unit Made My Vacation Easier!

Not long ago, my family and I went on a trip to visit friends, family, and some cool attractions in Florida. Since it was a place we weren't familiar with, we realized we'd either need to rent a GPS unit, buy one, or print out oodles of maps.

Thankfully, we opted for buying a GPS unit. It proved to be well worth the money and we figured we could use it on other trips as well, so the cost could be spread out over more than just one trip.

We searched around for the best machine and best deal. We ended up buying a Garmin 550c off of eBay. It was a fantastic deal and had a bunch of cool new features that some of the older brands didn't have.

What that little GPS unit did was make our trip go smooth! It helped us find all kinds of places. We'd punch in where we wanted to go and it'd help us figure out how long it'd take us to get there as well as help us find new places to visit along the way.

My sister came on the trip as well, bringing her husbands new Magellan GPS unit that he got for Christmas. Unfortunately, her Magellan didn't work nearly as well as our Garmin. It often couldn't figure out where she was and got her off course quite a bit.

Obviously, from her experience, we learned that it pays to get a high-quality brand of GPS units! It wasted a lot of her time and cost her extra money as well trying to deal with that little machine.

So our recommendation is that GPS units are one of the handiest things to take on a trip, you just need to make sure you invest in the right brand! Garmin is one of the better brands, in our experience.
