Hate being lost or stuck in traffic jams? Satellite navigation – sat
nav for short – puts the fun back into driving, by telling you the
best route for where you need to go. Garmin, TomTom, Navman or Sony sat
nav will get you where you're going.
Make car journeys quicker
By telling you which route to take, sat nav stops you taking wrong turns or fumbling with maps. That means faster, easier journeys. And they're not limited to the UK – Western European, Full European and USA and Canada maps are also available.
Cut down on fuel bills
Up-to-the-minute traffic updates – part of many sat nav systems – keep you informed about traffic jams and other troublespots. Less time sitting in traffic means lower petrol bills... not to mention less stress!
Guided by a voice you can trust
Sat nav systems don't just show you where to go – they
tell you. Voice instructions let you keep your eye on the road; just listen
and follow directions. While warning signals about speed cameras and limits – common
on many sat nav models – make sure you're driving
both safely and legally.
Next, take a look at the basics: how
they work, the choice of displays, the
different subscription models. It's
all in the Argos guide to sat
nav.
