Real-time GPS systems give information about the location of a person or vehicle as the person or vehicle is moving. The most efficient and reliable units are able to give projections that are accurate to the second about when a person or vehicle should arrive at a given location at a certain speed. Magnetic GPS units have an added component (such as a magnetic backing or holder) that allows them to be attached to a surface magnetically, without suction cups or straps. This makes the unit more easily portable.
Purchasing In-store
-
You can purchase magnetic, real-time GPS systems at electronics store, gift shops and big box department stores. In-store purchasing is preferable to online for some people because the shopper can actually see the units in person, and make price and feature comparisons on the spot.
-
Purchasing Online
-
You can also purchase these units online. The advantage to this method is that you can purchase directly from the manufacturers' websites, such as Garmin and TomTom. You can also find magnetic, real-time GPS systems through online auctions, online electronics stores and classified ads sites. Be aware that these items from online auctions and classified ads sites may carry added risks.
