In the time of GPS navigation fitting into the palm of your hand, fanning out a wrinkled paper map is a thing of the past. Squinting at the tiny screen on your phone while driving isn’t the most ideal (or safe) practice. When you boost the capabilities of your car or truck with a quality navigation system, you can always find your way with a touch of a button.

Several years ago, car manufacturers and aftermarket companies started installing car navigation systems. The practice has become increasingly popular since then because it makes a driver’s job so much easier. Navigation and Global Positioning System (GPS) technology have made it possible to travel more safely, comfortably, and confidently. Find your way by installing one of these systems in your vehicle. The benefits certainly won’t be lost on you. Read on to learn more about how this technology can enhance your life.

Navigation systems can also help keep your vehicle safe. In the unfortunate event that your car is stolen, the GPS navigation system can help authorities track it down. Many criminals will avoid targeting a car that includes a navigation system because they know they’re so much more likely to be caught. Some GPS systems even include built-in roadside assistance, monitoring services, and other safety and emergency help features.

Since GPS systems make cars so much safer to drive and own, some insurance companies will give you a discount for installing one. You get all the additional benefits of owning a car navigation system, and you’ll save money in the long run too. Over enough time, a GPS system can pay for itself and then some.

Now, most people already have navigation in their smartphone, but handling a phone while driving can be dangerous, and is even illegal in California and other states. Installing navigation in your dashboard makes directions much easier to see while you drive, which means you’ll know exactly where you’re going at all times.

A navigation system gives much more convenient instructions than your phone does. You don’t have to worry about mounting your phone somewhere it might block your view or get in the way. The screen is much bigger and easier to see on navigation systems for cars, too. If you don’t want to look at all, choose a system with a good voice feature that can dictate instructions to you as you drive.

When it comes to choosing a navigation system, make sure you get one with all the features you want. Many of these products also serve as a radio and media receiver or allow for smartphone integration. Consider all the features on these great options:
