Modern car navigators are able to plot a route taking into account the traffic organization and carry out targeted searches. They may have an extensive base infrastructure that is used to quickly search for points of interest such as catering outlets, gas stations, parking lots and places to stay.
Some models are able to receive and consider routing information on the situation on the roads as much as possible to avoid serious traffic congestion. Data traffic can be obtained by the mobile communication links (for GPRS Protocol), or via RDS radio broadcast band.
In addition to GPS-navigators is a device that can operate simultaneously with GPS, and Glonass. Today, the GPS models which support GPS and Glonass are many. The proportion of such devices in total annual sales navigators reaches 6.6%.
Honda created the first navigation system in 1983. This system used an analogue accelerometer to fix the localities, since the GPS system was not yet available. Pioneer were the first to offer an automotive navigation system with GPS, in 1990.
Automotive GPS navigators typically show the map of location of the vehicle, the kilometers left to reach the destination and the estimated time of arrival. The database of streets is a map vector of the areas of interest. The names of the streets, and numbering are codified in geographic coordinates so that the user can find the desired destination by street. For tyre repairs in Singapore, vehicle owners can count on professional service providers.
Safety
Drivers are not allowed to use phones while driving, unless you have a headset or hands-free device. These devices prevent the driver to look away from the road to press the button for the call or to adjust the volume and in particular avoid hold the steering wheel with one hand, engaging the other with the phone.
The use of cell phones has been banned to those driving a motor vehicle dangerously by lengthening the reaction time. Distracting the driver’s attention from watching the road, time to see an obstacle, slow down to a stop or change direction, would become significantly higher thus increasing the risk of an accident.
Some studies suggest that the effects of the headset or the phone while driving are the same. The danger to the guide does not depend so much by the movements to receive a call from driving with one hand, nor by the distraction linked to the conversation with another person, and the effects of microwaves. An average driver talking on a cell phone is, in fact, functions and reaction time, slower than a drunk. Studies show that the reaction time is 30% slower than that altered by alcohol.
