For anyone looking for a basic model GPS system (maybe to have as a back-up for a second car, to take with you when you're traveling in a rental, etc.) today's deal at 1 Sale A Day lets you pick one up for a nice price. They are selling the TomTom ONE 3rd Edition 3.5" Slim Portable Touchscreen GPS Vehicle Navigator for $59.99.

Today's deal from Daily Steals is an item that could save a lot of aggravation should you ever encounter a deas car battery. Instead of having to find a driver who has jumper cables and then face all the hassles of lining up cars, opening trunks, connecting cables to the battery nodes etc., you can do it much more simply with today's item. And the low cost makes this one almost a no-brainer to carry in each car you drive.

They have a Quick Charge Car Starter 12-Volt Battery Charging Cable Breaker and Surge Protector on sale today for $4.99. It retails for $49.99 so even with a $5.99 shipping cost it's a nice money-saver.

And on the road, especially if this happens on a cold or wet night, this would be a big aggravation saver as well. To start the car that has the dead battery, you plug each end of the cord into the cigarette-lighter for each car (OK, the power charger for those of you too young to remember when they were used for cigarettes). In about 10-15 minutes you have enough power to start your car again.

The 13-foot, 16-AWG cable gives you plenty of length to connect to another car's battery. A built-in circuit-breaker protects against overloads and surges. LED lights eliminate guessing by indicating charging and OK status.
