One of the newest devices of our time - GPS-navigator - has already become a familiar and convenient assistant on the road. Today it is used by the vast majority of motorists . But many, buying a navigator for the first time, face a reasonable problem: how to install, configure and, in fact, use this miracle of technology? Let's figure this out!
What is gps navigator and how to use it?
This device is a small mobile device that is used to locate and navigate through satellite communications. With gps you will not only always know where in the world you are, but you can also calculate the most suitable route for you when moving from one point to another. This is very convenient if you travel to unfamiliar cities and countries.
Navigators are not only automotive. They are also used in tourism and various sports (bicycle, ski, etc.). The latter are more compact in size and protected by a casing. In addition, in a modern personal navigator there is an opportunity to choose a user category - pedestrian, car or car, motorcycle driver, etc.
Using the bracket and the stand that comes with the kit, secure the navigator in the car's interior. Install it usually on the dashboard or windshield, with the proviso that the device will not close the view and interfere with safe driving. Before using for the first time, you should check the charging level of the device and, if necessary, charge it from the mains, from the car battery or from the usb port. Then you need to activate the device and download the cards (they can already be installed, you can buy additional license cards or download free on the Internet).
The most popular functions of the GPS-navigator are address search, route routing by points (rout), track back (return way on the passed points). At the same time, you can put the navigator task to choose the most optimal route: the shortest in terms of distance or the fastest in terms of time. You can also set and limit: for example, avoid left turns, turns, toll roads, traffic jams, etc.
As a rule, it's quite easy to use the navigator. You should only read the instruction carefully. Each model is noticeably different from the others, and you need to know these numerous nuances, especially if you plan to use the device during the trip without being distracted from driving.
But do not forget that the navigator - though a smart device, but not smarter than a person. Therefore, always pay attention to traffic signs and signs, as well as guided by elementary logic and traffic rules. It will also be useful to listen to the voice prompts of the navigator such as "re-route (change) the route" - this may mean that you did not follow the directions of the device and now run the risk of getting out of the way.
Among the most common difficulties encountered by novice navigators are:
- errors in the operation of the appliance (the numbers of houses are incorrectly indicated, there are no indexes);
- on the map there are no small settlements or streets;
- too late warning the navigator of a future maneuver.
The most popular models of navigators today are Garmin, Explay, Prestigio.
