How To Shop Smart For GPS Accessories

When you’re purchasing a GPS, it’s most important to ensure you’re set-up with the accessories you’ll be needing. It’s just not like you can get the main unit because they hit you with all the little sundry items: cool-looking carry cases, hardware for carrying/mounting, cables, adapters, and anything else you may want. You’ll quickly discover that all those “extras” are not quite the same. Like anything else, there will be differences in quality and utility. What is the best way to comparison shop GPS accessories? Well, we decided to do that for you, and we shopped around the net. Here is what we found out.

 

The Garmin Portable Friction Mount is one of the most popular GPS accessories being sold through Amazon.com. Instead of relying on suction cups that will wear out, eventually, it achieves it’s ability using friction devices. This particular accessory is very popular for people who drive cars with rough dashboards or windshields that have an aggressive slant. Another unique feature is the angle of the unit can be changed, and that lets the driver read it with ease. People who drive the Prius seem more than enamored with this particular GPS mount.

 

Some may think a GPS carrying case might not be necessary, and actually it’s a very good idea and recommended. You can spend a year looking at all the cases available, however, one highly popular case used by many is the Lowepro 4.3 Navi Shield GPS Case, and it can be seen at Amazon’s store. When this is written, you can pick it up for something a bit less than fifteen dollars. The material of the Lowepro 4.3 is hard, and that’s the basic shell design. You’ll find nice padding on the inside for those special moments when the unit is dropped. In addition to that the Lowepro is built with the ability to safely store GPS memory cards and your charger – nice.

 

If you love riding your bicycle, then you do need to look into the Garmin GSC 10 Speed/Cadence Bike Sensor. So when you’re riding your bike and doing your thing, this cool tool will take care of your speed calculations. The simple design of it calls for wearing it on your wrist. Calculating your pedal strokes/minute is another very handy function that is excellent for training purposes. This makes it a worthwhile accessory even for someone who is riding a stationary bike at home or at the gym. The Forerunner 305, the Edge 305CAD and the Garmin Edge 305 will also work with this sensor. If you pay attention to warranties, then you’ll like that it has a one-year warranty period.

 

As far as GPS accessories are concerned, not everything is created equal. Naturally, there will be differences in quality and other considerations. When you are shopping it is important that you do some research and that you know what you want to buy before you leave the house or reach for your debit or credit card. Doing that will ensure you will make the best buying decisions and won’t fall prey to the pushy sales people.
