Dear customer

We understand that buying a GPS can be a confusing and frustrating experience for many people. The choices can seem overwhelming, the system specifications and their features confusing, the terms and language used are impossible to understand and worst of all, the sales people you speak to have to refer to the user manual whenever you ask them a question.

We get hundreds of queries every month from GPS owners who have already bought their Garmin GPS 'over the counter' (yes, we do also provide various 'aftersales' Garmin tech support services for those who have not bought their Garmin GPS from us) as well as from those who are looking to buy their first GPS and many of them have the same fears:

• Many people are under the (mistaken) impression that using a GPS is a complicated affair and that they would need extensive, costly and time-consuming training before they could enjoy the full benefits of using a GPS.

• Most first time buyers feel that they do not have sufficient knowledge to buy the ideal GPS system suitable to their specific needs.

• Many are afraid that the system they buy now will be outdated within a few months and then they will need to upgrade to a bigger/better/different system with more/better/different features.

• Nearly everyone is concerned that they will be stuck with a really expensive paperweight afterwards because, although they know that their system can do so much more than just the basics, they are afraid that will never be able to figure out how to use it properly - and of course, the manuals seem to be written in ‘technobabble’ (aren't they all ;-)?

Does any of this sound familiar?
