Satellite navigation is the process by which mobile receivers on the ground receive radio time signals transmitted by satellites and determine the exact location of a vehicle. These navigation systems allow you to accurately measure location on the order of a few metres in real time. The incredible accuracy of these satellite navigation systems is due to the combination of the relatively clear line of sight between the satellites and their ground receivers and the ever-improving electronics.

Some of the well-known Sat Nav systems available in the market are Binatone D430 (GPS), TomTom XL IQ Routes Edition Europe (GPS), Garmin Nuvi 265wt and ProNav PNN-200 (GPS).

The Binatone D430 is a voice guided navigation system that comes with a touch screen display of about 4.3 inches. The memory type of this useful GPS system is SecureDigital (SD) and also has alternative voice feature. It is suitable for cars and also features the Bluetooth connectivity.

The TomTom XL IQ Routes Edition Europe is also a voice guided navigation system. The widescreen 4.3 inch display gives a clear view of all the instructions. It includes a lane assistant function and the Street Name Announcement feature as well. It has a battery life of 3 hours and thus suitable for long drives.

The Garmin Nuvi 265wt has unique driver safety feature and the benefits of PhotoNavigation as well. Together with the voice guided navigation and the intelligent Route Calculation feature, the sat nav system provides a performance that is worth appreciating.

If the three mentioned navigation system are suitable for cars, the ProNav PNN-200 (GPS) is suitable for both cars and Lorries. The portable navigation system has a battery life of 5 hours and is MP3 compatible.
