As you’d expect with a lot of products, quality is a very important factor for choosing products in the “GPS & Sat Nav” category. But it’s even more important to consider and get a feel for quality when you’re buying online because you aren’t given the benefit of being able to see and try the item for yourself.
This is of course why we can’t stress enough the importance of reading lots of reviews, as it will really help you to get a good feel for how good the quality is.

- Your experience with GPS & Sat Nav: You’ll no doubt have some history with buying GPS & Sat Nav, and you may have even bought products from the same brand, Garmin, use this information to your advantage. You’ll probably have a good idea of how good the quality of the product was and any faults or floors you remember from it.
