How to Get the Best Price on a Bluetooth GPS Receiver

When shopping for a Bluetooth GPS receiver, it's important to make sure the device is compatible with your GPS interface. Follow the instructions below to get the best price on a Bluetooth GPS receiver for your car.

Things You'll Need

• Internet access
• Computer

Instructions

1. Check the GPS owner's manual to see which Bluetooth receivers are compatible with your system. You should not have a problem finding a compatible receiver.

2. Decide what specifications will work best with your intended use. Wireless connectivity range, battery power life and other factors vary among models. You do not need a long-range GPS system for simply using the product in your car. The less expensive Bluetooth GPS models usually last around 7 hours before they must be recharged, while more expensive models can last up to 17 hours between charges.

3. Go to your local electronics stores and compare prices. Keep a record of all the prices and models available at each store that work with your GPS system.

4. Log on to the Internet and compare the store prices to online prices. Sometimes buying online is cheaper, but checking the electronics stores first to make sure you are not overcharged online is always a good idea.

5. Consider purchasing a used Bluetooth GPS receiver in good condition. These are sometimes available online. Some people upgrade frequently and sell their slightly used Bluetooth GPS receiver for an excellent price.

6. Make your purchase. Save the records of your transaction.

Tips & Warnings

• Test your Bluetooth GPS receiver right after your purchase. Make sure all the features work properly.

• Never give credit card information over the Internet unless you are certain the Web site is secure.
