I do not know about you except I was in no way especially great at using an atlas at the greatest of times and trying to find the way to a place whilst driving was still worse. When I got wedded it seemed the only occasion we argued was on a prolonged journey with my map I had had for the previous 5 years where it didn’t show the most recent motorways. So you can imagine my delight as I purchased my first Sat Nav. Family trips became a pleasure and in the end I did not even bother to plan my trip before going on a long voyage - my marriage was saved.
So let’s take a peek at the constantly growing amount of Cheap Sat Navs arriving on the market what must you be looking for?
Well, an in-car satellite navigation system should in my view come with Spoken instructions and this ought to come as standard. The whole advantage of using a Sat Naw is so you do not have to stare at the display. The spoken instructions should describe the route step-by-step. On the Sat Nav I use you can even choose a female or male voice. I have selected a female voice and we have called her Jane. It is amusing on a long journey if Jane goes silent. We all reckon she is reading Hello in the rear of the car or having a moody (as my daughter says) with us if we have chosen to take a another route.
You really need route update so that if you are forced to stray from your first route the Sat Nav or Jane will recalculate the route for you. On my Sat Nav Jane even checks the traffic situation prior to leaving the house but you will probably find that you will have to purchase a subscription for this. Other Sat Navs also come with a Speed Trap warning which is really helpful
Your Sat Nav should also come with maps and the more expensive ones will even have European routes. This is always a comfort if you have a instant of mistrust with your Sat Nav. At least you can always see what the whole route looks like. Another function I like is the Postcode function. I have had many a journey trying to get to friend’s houses and the easiest way of obtaining the route is with the postcode.
A good screen size is helpful although I do not tend to look at the screen a great deal but if you can acquire a 3.5 inch one that would be good, although what I am fond of is a touch sensitive screen which is easier to work than a console
If your Sat Nav comes with a battery this will let you use it outside the car although I always attach mine to the cigarette lighter so that I do not have to remember to charge mine the night before a long journey
Additional options you can get are internal hard drives that store up your earlier routes. A number even let you to play music on them although I personally wouldn’t go for this option as I would like to hear Jane’s instructions not the latest Foo Fighters album.
You might want to look at a PDA solution if you have a Smart Phone. I own one on my Blackberry which is really useful and you can also purchase Sat Nav software for additional products such as the Apple I phone
So what ever solution you are searching for you can buy a Cheap Sat Nav starting from as little as £200 going up to whatever price you are prepared to pay
