As we all know, car gps navigations have become indispensable tool for car driver. But improper placement of your gps units may distracted your contradiction from driving. So it's very critical to place gps where is of ease to access, for the functionality of the system and driving safety. Here is we give some tips.
1.Almost all of current gps car navigation systems are self-contained, with maps stored internally and satellite reception antenna stored inside the unit itself, compared with old ones which required external antenna.GPS units requiring line of sight to acquire satellites are used for position triangulation. Base on this theory, the exact method is to place gps unit on the dashboard, low on the windshield, or in a mount that raises the unit high enough to have a clear view of windshield.This will help with gps reliability.
For automotive safety, it is essential to keep your eyes on the road. It is a good idea to keep the car dvd nav visible by using a windshield mount.but that is just below your line of sight. Using dashboard mounts,you are able to keep your eyes on the road while having a quick glance at the gps unit for reference. Some gps device could be mounted in a similar visual position as your car radio, and also tend to work well. But it needs a long time with eyes not being focused on the road.
The ideal situation is that you set up a destination before you drive the car. In some cases, however, you may need to make some adjustments to the gps. In these or those situations, you should make sure the gps system is mounted within range of easy right-hand access. Making changes to gps will take attention away from the road than referring to the unit turn-by-turn directions.
