The choice between portable and fixed GPS units depends on your activities and whether you prefer the flexibility of portable devices or the extensiveness of a fixed device.
If your excursions often include stepping out of your Commander or if you own multiple vehicles, a handheld GPS offers versatility and convenience.
These units are rugged, often waterproof, and have a long battery life. Conversely, a fixed system, drawing power from the Can-Am Commander, provides larger displays and is built to endure the rigors of off-road travel.
Accuracy and precision in navigation are non-negotiable as those are the main two reasons why one would even go for them.
This is especially the case when venturing into remote areas, where cell signals are scarce. These GPS systems with excellent triangulation capabilities ensure safety across the board.
Investing in a system known for its unwavering accuracy is essential, as this is what keeps you from getting lost in unfamiliar territories.
Make sure you and your Can-Am Commander are always right on track and get yourself some of these!
Considering the rough environments the Can-Am Commander is built for, your GPS system must be equally robust and durable.
Go ahead and look for high IP-rated devices, signifying strong resistance to water and dust. Protective Can-Am Commander covers and casings are also vital, particularly for those who enjoy the thrill of an open-air ride.
Your navigation system should also feature high-resolution displays for ease of use in various lighting and weather conditions, no matter where you go.
With that said, it's important to have an easily interpretable system, ensuring your focus remains on the trail ahead, not on deciphering complex maps.
The best systems feature bright, IPS or OLED displays while older technology mostly relies on TFT panels which aren’t the brightness or the prettiest to look at.
Lastly, modern GPS units come loaded with smart features. From Bluetooth connectivity, OLED touchscreens, and voice commands to offline map caching and entertainment options, these additional functionalities can greatly enhance your experience.
Some systems even integrate with other components of your Can-Am Commander, like backup cameras, offering a comprehensive and integrated navigation experience with all of the benefits of the modern era of tech.
