If you have the money, get them. They do add to your experience and you'll be glad you paid the little extra for them.

Real Time Traffic

Your portable GPS system tells you when to turn, when and how many miles it is until the next turn. However, what if your GPS, through portable GPS accessories, could tell you when there was a traffic jam up ahead, or it could alert you to a construction zone, or a school zone? Or what if your portable GPS accessories could tell you where there was a speed trap, or where there were slippery roads or even accidents?

That's what you'll get by investing in all the latest portable GPS accessories. The portable GPS accessories connect to satellites and some even work via the internet to tell you what's going on around you to add to your travel experience. You'll get to your destination faster and in a more efficient manner than if you hadn't purchased the extra portable GPS accessories. Just make sure you don't have to purchase an extra service to make those portable GPS accessories work. Though, if you can afford it, it might be worth it.

Keep Your Eyes Open

GPS companies are always coming out with new and more innovative portable GPS accessories. Just make sure you actually need and would use these accessories before you buy them. Sure, everyone likes to be able to have the best and most expensive of everything, but sometimes the capabilities of the GPS accessories aren't utilized to their fullest potential. You could end up broke if you purchased every portable GPS accessory so make sure you need it before you open your wallet.

Services

Some accessories require you to subscribe to a monthly service. For instance, if your portable GPS accessory detects real time traffic, you might have to pay for a service that monitors traffic in your area. Again, if you have the money, go for it. Imagine getting to your destination without having to worry about traffic, accidents, construction or even the risk of getting a speeding ticket.
