Content: Are they digital devices? 5. Navigation Systems
This is a digital device that uses GPS (Global Positioning System) to provide a real-time map of our current location, as well as including route planning tools to give us directions to a chosen destination. Often they also have added features, such as identifying traffic, roadworks and accidents that might delay your journey and take this into consideration to provide an accurate destination time. An example of a navigation system is an in-car satnav. Uses
In-car satnavs are commonly used instead of traditional maps to help direct you along the fastest route on your car journey. This can be integrated directly into the car’s dashboard, but is often in a standalone device. TomTom is a popular brand for these. Nowadays we often see navigation systems built into smartphones to be used when driving, walking, cycling & taking public transport. For many people, standalone satnav devices have been completely replaced by their smartphones.
