Looking for better features in a car GPS
While any GPS system can be used in a vehicle, and are great for helping
you to find your way from point A to point B, there are some features
that are better to have in a car GPS, and which might not always be
available to you. The three kinds of car GPS that you are likely to come
across are the PDA and GPS system, in which the PDA is extended with a
GPS antenna and software, a handheld recreational use GPS, with street
map, and a built-in radio GPS.
Clearly when looking at a new car, the third option will offer the best
for a car GPS, it will have specific options such as voice prompting and
integrated antenna on the outside of the car, as well as integration
with the radio system and vehicle itself. The disadvantage is that the
GPS system requires a CD with map data on it, and this means that a CD
cannot be played at the same time as the GPS is in action.
The simplest kind of car GPS, and one which is entirely serviceable as
an approach is to use a PDA connected to a GPS antenna. The advantage is
that you have the GPS where ever you go, but this is outweighed by the
fact that the antenna may work poorly in a vehicle. The solution is to
use a Bluetooth antenna, in conjunction with a Bluetooth enables PDA, in
which case the antenna can be placed in a better place.
Finally, the handheld recreational GPS doubling as a car GPS suffers
some of the same problems as a PDA based GPS, but the manufacturers at
least know about it and have created the system with this in mind.
