Not so long ago satellite navigation systems or Sat Nav’s for short, were considered a luxury item which only the hardcore technology enthusiasts who yearned for the latest gadgetry would dare purchase. Now though, the market for these devices is far more accessible for those who desire a decent aid to our driving needs.

We Have the Technology

When purchasing a stand alone satellite navigation system, you were not just spending your hard earned cash on the software, but the hardware as well. Today, those mobile phones we dare not leave at home are also extremely powerful hardware devices and the need to have yet another gadget accompanying you on your travels is fast becoming nonsensical.

You Have Reached Your Destination

TomTom and many other apps like it offer road navigation for a fraction of the cost compared to stand alone units. Features are comparable with turn by turn instructions, clear display of the roads ahead and not forgetting the vocal instructions.

Text-to-Speech reads out aloud the instructions and road names, reducing the need to monitor the screen at every junction of your journey.

Traffic management is an added monthly or yearly purchase, but you then have a fighting chance of avoiding those delays due to accidents, road works and road blocks.
