The portable units are much less expensive and easy to use for navigation while you are driving.

The portable auto navigation system will show your progress on the screen and detail information about your surroundings the entire length of your trip and also provide you with turn by turn directions.

This means you will have an auto navigation system no matter what car you are driving, even rental cars.

Portable auto navigation GPS systems rely on voice recognition technology so you don’t have to worry about taking your eyes from the road. Simply speak your commands and the GPS will reply to you by voice as well. If you get low on gas, all you have to do is ask the unit where the nearest gas station is and the unit will reply with the exact location and tell you how to get there.
