GPS systems help us navigate the highways with turn-by-turn directions. But how do you set it up? Just follow a few simple steps.

Step 1

Touch the button on the main screen that reads “Where To” or “Find Address.”

Step 2

Select a category, such as a restaurant or food. Your GPS will present a selection of restaurants closest to where you are. Touch one of the destinations and your GPS will tell you how to get there.

Step 3

Find a specific address. Touch “Where To” from the main screen, which brings you to a screen with letters and numbers. Type in the address, city and state and then touch “Done.” Verify the information is correct.

Step 4

Each GPS brand and model is different, but the directions are similar.

Step 5

Learn how to use your specific model. Garmin, Tom Tom and Magellan are just a few of the brands you can choose from. You can find them at electronics stores such as Best Buy and Circuit City or from retail stores such as Wal-mart, Target or Kmart.
