1. A paper map will never update itself. With GPS systems you simply have to download the updates to your system, no need to go to a store.
2. Real time traffic updates. Not only will your GPS system tell you how to get from point A to point B, but it will also consider traffic conditions along your route. (Note: not available in all models or cities.)
3. Directions while driving. There’s no need to pull over because voice directions allow you to keep your eyes on the road and your hands safely on the wheel.
4. You don’t have to eat at Denny’s anymore. A GPS system helps you make informed decisions about where to stop along the way. You and your family don’t have to eat at that diner because that’s the only sign you see off the highway.
5. Hands free. Leave your earpiece at home and use the GPS device for wireless phone calls instead. Most devices have Bluetooth capability.
