The ROI on GPS
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008With the average price of gas well above $4/gallon (and closing in on $5), the cost of getting lost or wasting time looking for an address is at a historical high — and the return on investment of a good GPS system gets more attractive. Great deals make these cunning devices even more attractive.
With favorable notice from ZDNet and Crave on its unique features — and a limited-time promo dropping the price to $199.99 — the Navigon 5100 might be a great choice for digital nomads.
For me the most intriguing differentiators are:
- Free (no monthly fee) traffic updates.
- Lane change, speed and photo-realistic views of complex intersections (forewarned is forearmed), and
- Zagat ratings and reviews (for driving directly to that new place you heard about instead of circling around an unfamiliar neighborhood – not that I’ve ever done that).
