GPS and Vehicle Tracking Systems

A vehicle global positioning system (GPS) can be a difficult choice for the consumer if he does not know enough about them.  There are two basic choices.  The first choice are the GPS devices that can be bought as part of or integrated within the automobile that have  large screens that can be used for navigation purposes and provide voice guidance.  A second type are the smaller hand-held devices that have a smaller screen and can be battery-powered; but also which have less features.

Some features to look for include voice guidance, mapping utility, address routing, size of memory, mounting capability (dashboard), waypoints, reception, external antenna, and size of screen.
