Car navigator or smartphone with GPS?

Where are we? Where to go? Where is the necessary point? How to get there faster? How long will it take to travel? Who are you surprised by GPS devices that instantly and accurately report such information? We have GPS in cars, phones, smartphones, tablets, PDAs and others. And if you can use the navigation of the popular "handheld" devices, then why the car has a special navigator?

Screen is what you immediately notice. It is the display that is larger (up to 7ʺ) and visual even in “medium” models, with a special anti-reflective coating, has long been (and remains) a significant advantage that car GPS navigators have. But already a smartphone, and, of course, a tablet can have a fairly large screen, albeit until it is a “running” model with an average price. With delivery in Ukraine, the navigator can be bought in Kiev, Kharkov, Odessa on 130.com.ua.

Special mounts and accessories , car “charging” for a smartphone or tablet will have to be selected and purchased separately. But quality can cost half the price of an average navigator, any model of which will be necessarily equipped with these components.

Internet connection. For smartphones/tablets, via built-in GSM/GPRS module. It can have a navigator, only this affects the cost. Most navigators have access to the Internet via a mobile phone connected by a Bluetooth module as a wireless modem. It may seem to someone that this is a disadvantage that a GPS navigator has. Maps of mobile devices, while constantly updated and, of course, provide the most up-to-date information, information about the real traffic situation, but are often deprived of the entire set of navigation functions.

Software handheld devices and their navigation applications (for iOS, Android and other OS), as a rule, are more functional and more beautiful than versions for Windows CE navigators. But more advanced and functional applications, you must first buy, and some-have a monthly fee. Then it is obvious that it is cheaper to use a special car navigator with additional accessories for GPS navigator , the price of which includes a specific navigation application.

The navigator is able to operate autonomously from a battery, on average, up to 3 hours, but it can also be connected to a cigarette lighter in a car. A smartphone or tablet with active work will discharge faster-you can lose the route, connection, important options at the most inopportune moment. Yes, and incoming calls can seriously interfere. And if the smartphone or tablet will be busy, for example, with children? Well, but you can take them games. But progressive navigators are more than interesting-with WiFi, video recorder, radar detector, parking assistant, TV tuner.

Of course, it’s convenient to have a smartphone or a tablet with you in your pocket. But, if a motorist needs a navigator in a car, then it is more rational (both from a financial and a functional point of view) to have a special automobile device.
