the top of the line portable one I’m looking at is a mere 600 bucks and it offers a ton more features and better looking maps than the factory option, making me think the auto maker should stick to making cars and not GPS units.
still, I like how its cleanly integrated into the car, the portable mounts on the windshield and looks a bit tacky.
the factory also costs 2,000 dollars.
which one is worth it?

I’d prefer the portable ones since you can take them to other cars and WAY cheaper.
I would definitely go for the portable gps system because you can transfer it to different cars and if you say it’s that much nicer, isn’t it better to save yourself over one grand for something that might look what you think is tacky?? Besides, gps systems are becoming really popular so I highly doubt if your gonna be the only one. My dad has a portable one and he loves it cuz he has two cars and my mom has her car too. Anyways…don’t waste your money for a smooth line.
I have found the factory installed worked better (as long as it is factory installed and not dealer installed) as they generally have better aerials so when you come up to corners and slow down they are better at picking up when you are actually at the corner and not gone past it.
Speed changes are better reflected.
