Global positioning system units – like the Garmin unit you retain in your car – can make driving to unknown locations as simple as cruising your own neighborhood. The unit determines your exact position using GPS satellites and compares your location to its stored maps to work out points of interests around you – whether roads, restaurants or rivers. With accurate maps, the unit will provide concise instructions to succeed in your destination, but if its maps are out of date, it could send you the incorrect way down a one-way street, use inefficient routes or involve a turn where none exists. Garmin gives you the prospect to download a free map update with the acquisition of a replacement unit to make sure accurate instructions and proper performance of your new device.
