Never Get Lost in Italy, Thanks to Global Positioning!
Travel with ease and comfort, thanks to our Street Pilot III Global Positioning System unit. It will sit conveniently on the dashboard of your car giving you a heads-up display of your actual location! When plugged into the automobile cigarette lighter, this unit will actually talk you through your auto-routed itinerary with spoken prompts including turn notification, off-course notification, and arrival at destination! This will leave you free to concentrate fully on driving and road conditions, eliminating that clumsy map.
To be honest, we at In Italy Online were a little skeptical about the usefulness of GPS in Italy. But here are some comments from our clients who have used our units:
I forgot to mention to you that the GPS worked flawlessly and I cannot imagine traveling to Italy again without it. It worked out in the Tuscan "sticks" as well as through inner Florance (unless we were in a narrow street with surrounding high buildings and satellite reception was lost). A great device I highly recommend to anyone traveling in Italy. Thanks again. Sam W
"The vehicle was a luxury station wagon that came with a GPS navigation system that was just amazing. I had an idea of where I was going in Austria and Germany and I can understand German, but once we got to Switzerland and Italy this thing was a godsend. I will never again travel in Europe without one and fully recommend this to any traveller to a place they had not yet been to. Further the people at Europcar were very efficient and courteous. I have no regrets." Ernie S.
"Also of important note was the GPS system we rented from your site. It saved us countless times and was the most well spent rental I could possibly imagine." Barry G.
"The GPS unit we rented through AutoEurope (on your website too) was the best purchase of the trip. It even worked in Tuscany! But I would recommend using a map to supplement." Michelle S.
"Also, you should tell all your clients to rent the GPS unit. That thing was a lifesaver! (We named ours Sophia, and she became our best friend!)" Deanna G.
The unit itself is a Garmin StreetPilot III portable GPS unit featuring a 16-Color LCD Display. The unit weighs 1.4 pounds and is around 3.2 inches tall by 6.8 inches wide.
