Unfortunately, the portable GPS navigation system doesn’t have internal compass accelerometer or a device used to measure the car’s speed. So, it can’t navigate as accurately as a build-in GPS system. It is important to buy a portable GPS receiver that has a build-in accelerometer, if you use the GPS very frequently or live in an area where there are a lot of high rises and tunnels.

The portable GPS receiver usually compact and pocket sized. You can carry it anywhere you go and avoid stolen if you leave it in your car.
