The 10 Best GPS Devices

The death of the dedicated GPS device has been greatly exaggerated. Sure, today’s mobile devices integrate talented—and sometimes free—navigation apps, but not everyone wants to use a phone or a huge tablet for driving directions. With a standalone GPS, you can just leave it in the car and forget about it, until, of course, you’re lost in an unfamiliar place, driving around in circles. Or you’re on a road trip, it’s 1AM, and you’re desperately searching for the nearest Taco Bell. Or you want to avoid sitting in an hour of turnpike traffic.
