GPS and Vehicle Tracking Systems
A vehicle global positioning system
(GPS) can be a difficult choice for the consumer if he does not know
enough about them. There are two basic choices. The first
choice are the GPS devices that can be bought as part of or integrated
within the automobile that have large screens that can be used for
navigation purposes and provide voice guidance. A second type are
the smaller hand-held devices that have a smaller screen and can be
battery-powered; but also which have less features.
Some features to look for include voice
guidance, mapping utility, address routing, size of memory, mounting
capability (dashboard), waypoints, reception, external antenna, and size
of screen.
