Best Rated GPS and Navigation Devices
Isn’t it interested that just a few short years ago GPS and navigation devices were only in the hands of those who could afford the expensive devices. My how things have changed.
Not only are they more affordable and are in the cars of most people but they are on just about every smart phone.
Most people now just want to know which ones are the best rated. I’m going to share with you the best rated ones in the following categories:
- Vehicle
- Sports and handheld
- Boating units and chartplotters
- Trackers

Here are the best rated GPS and navigation devices.
Best Vehicle GPS System
I absolutely love vehicle GPS systems! I like using the one on my Droid Bionic phone too but having one specifically made for the car can be a real lifesaver.
Not only that but if you need proper directions in a pinch these are awesome!
They are hundreds of dollars less than they were in the mid-2000’s which makes it easily accessible to most people.
The resolution on these top rated devices below are incredible. Many of these have free lifetime updates, advanced navigation features and neat travel tools.

Garmin Zumo 660LM Motorcycle Navigator
Best Sports and Handheld GPS System
They can really think of GPS for everything right! These sports and handheld GPS systems are really quite interesting.
Take for instance the avid runner. There is one that actually tracks your heart rate and has training features such as courses, workouts and any goal making you may want to store on the device.
There are hiking ones, golf ones and like I mentioned above…running ones.

Best Boating GPS Units and Chartplotters
If I was big into boating or fishing this is a device I don’t think I could do without.
Getting lost in the water isn’t my idea of fun, how about you?
These things are a chartplotter, fish finder and maps galore.
The resolution in these devices are great and here are the top six best rated units.
Humminbird 408120-1 Fishfinder
Garmin GPSMAP 541s 5-Inch Waterproof
Lowrance HDS-8 GEN2 Plotter and Sounder
GPS Tracker Systems
Vehicle rental companies use them to track their vehicles. Understandable since their vehicles are driving all over the place each day.
I also know trucking companies use them to keep track of where their loads of goods are so they can keep the customer informed in real time.Would
you buy one of these? Let me know in the guestbook area below.
Best GPS System Accessories
What are electronic devices without accessories? It’s like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without the jelly.
With most GPS devices a mount is necessary whether it’s in your car or a boat. There are also cables and screen protectors you can buy.
Here are the best rated GPS accessories.
