subject: Gps With Voice And All Its Advantages [print this page] Today we no longer use paper maps or ask complete strangers for directions. The new technology has facilitated our work by inventing a useful satellite tracking device, such as GPS. A device that not only shows us the target we need to reach, but also provides voice guidance, which allows us to drive hassle-free, following the instructions. GPS spares us from many shortcomings when driving in our country, but also abroad and thus it became a necessity for the drivers.
The market has a wide variety of GPS systems, from really affordable ones to the more extravagant and sophisticated. Firms that develop and sell satellite navigation systems including GPS maps, have multiplied. Hence, competition is fierce on this market. GPS receivers are almost similar: they have the same functions, but different parameters and design techniques.
Global Positioning System(GPS) is a global radio-navigation system formed from a constellation of twenty-four satellites and their ground stations. GPS makes use of satellites as reference points to determine positions with an accuracy of a couple of metres and, sometimes, centimetres. Today GPS is placed in cars, boats, planes, construction equipment, agricultural machinery, up to portable computers and many others.
GPS is used not only as a device for the cars, but there are also cell phones with embedded GPS. They can be used by people while walking in order to reach the desired destination. Even though mobile phones with embedded GPS are sold very well, beyond the initial use, they are not often activated. Which means added costs for the companies without any effective results.
GPS system shows clear benefits such as automatic route recalculation and voice commands transmitted which increases traffic safety. In addition to the navigation function, it includes all the features of a Pocket PC and you can also use it as a car kit. To fall within the performance, however, your navigation device must have an intuitive software, a complete new map and Bluetooth connectivity. If it includes a travel guide, you can say you got the perfect car navigation system.
