Are you lost? Not with a SatNav system
Satellite navigation has gone from being the expensive preserve of luxury cars to something you can buy in almost any car accessory store in a very short space of time. Now, Sat Nav systems cost little more than a good night out (at least in the UK anyway). SatNav systems function by working out their place on Earth using several different satellites at once. As each satellite is in a different position, this allows the device in your car to work out your location through triangulation. It’s also referred to as GPS (global positioning satellite).
With Satellite Navigation technology, getting from A to B has never been easier. Clear display tells you where you are and where to go, and with spoken directions you wont have to take your eyes off the road. Brilliant, isn’t it?
Here’s the feature At a glance:
No more maps and route planning
Automatically pinpoints your position.
Select a destination
Visual and voice directions will automatically guide you along the fastest route.
Free to use - no subscription required.
Easy to install and transfer between vehicles.
What to look for when buying a sat nav system.
Dynamic routing - automatically adjust the route if you take a wrong turn.
Voice guided route instructions - clear audio instructions as to which route to follow
Touchscreen operation - just touch the screen to move through the menus
Mapping - street level mapping will give you all the detail you need while major routes will include main roads and motorways only.
Safety cameras - preinstalled database alerts you to safety cameras ahead.
Some additional features you may want:
Hands free speaker phone - connect to your bluetooth phone and answer, ring and talk through your sat nav just like a hands free kit
Photo viewer - store and view your photos
MP3 Player - store and play all your MP3s through your sat nav system
It is important to know that in any additional features comes an increase on the tag price. It is therefore sensible to just pick what is completely necessary i.e gets you from A to B.
