To get lost, or not to get lost? That's the question... by Ludmila Martinicka

This are instructions how not to get lost in the times of thousands of navigation systems. Poor maps... I am afraid, that soon they will be able to be seen in historical museums only. But this is life. And nowadays life means technological progress. In western Europe almost everybody has a GPS navigator in the car. This trend is moving very fast to the east. The only reason for the slowly increasing number of sold GPS navigators is their price. But. Let's be honest. Is the most expensive always the best? Yes, for someone could be. But this is kind of personal question. Like everybody likes different style of clothes, everybody has different requirements for his beloved car, its interior and system improvements. For example, for adventurers and explorers would be GPS navigation totally useless, because getting lost in unknown areas and exploring them is their hobby, if not job, actually. But back to the instructions. The first thing you should not forget is to state clearly your needs and requirements. Wide screen, number of pixels, size of the device, simple orientation in menu, design, speaking device, beeping device,... maybe you can find even singing one. Second step is to define the final price you are willing to pay for your new toy, or device, call the "map upgrade" as you like. After this two steps you can open your web browser and start to explore the wide world of companies selling navigation devices. I have just one question: is there any device to guide us in the offers jungle?
