Israel GPS Rental - Israel Map

Rent a GPS navigation system with Israel map

Thinking of taking a vacation to Israel (ישראל) or Europe (Eastern or Western) Europe ? - Then you need a GPS Israeli navigation device and digital maps to go with it. Renting or buying a GPS for Israel is a must for every tourist who intends to come to Israel on a trip with his family or for business (and pleasure).

Before you rent a GPS device, make sure that it's already had maps of Israel or the Middle-East in it. For example, if you rent or buy a Gramin GPS (ניווט לוויני גי.פי.אס) with Voice for Israel, ask the salesman if the GPS handheld or pocket PC device have Israel map installed. It doesn't need to have a special software for the it, just have the specific road, tracks and street maps of Israeli cities, so you can get from one place to another using the GPS routing navigation system for Israel.

Demonstration of Garmin c340 GPS Device:



I have IGO8 and I have all the maps for Israel installed on it. My cellular phone from the US that has a Symbian operating system and a long GPS antenna, has a GPS Navigation System installed and maps of Israel. You can even rent a GPS in Israel itself. Rent Center is a GPS rental company, which rent GPS device in English support other foreign languages, including Russian, Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and others.

When your flight arrive at Israel, you can call the company to *9599, or you can even call from the US and make sure that the Israeli GPS device will be there at the airport when you get to Ben-Gurion airport (also called נתבג). If you want a less mobile solution, you can rent a car (vehicle) with a tracking device installed in the car.

GPS for cars is also popular in Israel, and the service is called 'Automobile GPS', and you can get it in a sale-discount price when the summer comes. Learn more about it in Israeli Car rental companies. It is very easy also when you need repair for you GPS or Car, because it is a combined deal, which you get both GPS + Car at the same place, and there are more Car rental branches than rental companies in Israel.


GPS or a Map ? - Have them both in one device !
Some GPS nav system offers you the ability to updated their maps (מפות) from online websites for free, I think Nokia has such an offer on their GPS website. The best GPS mobile devices belong to Garmin. I have read plenty of Reviews about Garmin GPS navigation systems, and there are among the best there is. Of course it comes at a price, but it is well worth it, and you can rent a Garmin GPS nav system instead of buying one. You can even find a second hand one for sale on the Internet 2nd hand websites.

The most important thing to remember, that if you rent a Global Positioning System device, you get a full warranty which covers any kind of problem with the GPS device. Even though that the GPS devices are not military grade, there are in the TOP 10 selling GPS devices in the world. You can read about them on Rent Center website.

I have also seen the smallest GPS device ever, looks like it was made for kids, but it is really so small, and you can take it anywhere with you.

The most popular devices are from Garmin: c330, nuvi 350, nuvi 360, c340 and there are more. The main thing is that you will arrive safely to your destination and enjoy your vacation in Israeli hotels and Israeli resorts. My recommendation is to go with the c330 or the c340 devices, because they are cheap and do the job well.

Other version of Garmin GPS: nuvi 1200, nuvi® 1490T, zumo® 550 and many others. You can find more information on Garmin website.
