Mobile Phone Satellite Navigation
Dedicated portable GPs navigation systems in cars are now very
popular, What
could be better than being able to get to wherever you want to
without having
to stop and ask for directions.
Nevertheless, a lot of people overlook a convenient an easy way
of navigation
which is using your mobile phones for GPS Navigation. You might
think because
of the small screens on mobile phonbes, it wouldn't be
practical, but from
experience that is farther from the truth. There are quite a few
advantages
choosing a a mobile phone over a dedicated portable gps system
for navigation.
The main being convenience, Since mobile phones are usually
compact and small,
it makes it much easier then having a bulky dedicated system.
Another overlooked advantage is security, Since dedicated
portable navigation
sytems come with a distinct windscreen car mount. There have
been cases where
cars have been broken into because thieves saw the windscreen
mount on the
windscreen and the owner park the vehicle, coming out with
nothing and then
assumed the unit will be in the car.
With the mobile phones, all you need is a compatible phone
loaded with the
navigation software and a bluetooth receiver. One thing i do
sometimes is to
also use a bluetooth headset and have the voice prompts from the
phone through
the headset. You just have to make sure you get the right phone
by checking
which mobile phones are supported by your choice of navigation
software. When
you receive an incoming call the software pauses and allows the
call to come
through and resumes when the conversation is ended.So if you
have a correct
phone, it might make more sense opting for a navigation software
and bluetooth
GPS receiver. www.bluetoothgpstips.com
