Nowadays GPS navigation systems have became a necessity for car drivers and its not as new invention as most people think; they have been widely used ever since the first GPS satellite was launched into space .but its not only used for navigation but for entertainment such as car DVD NAV.

Though, GPS systems for cars are not that complicated than it for airplane. Transportation by car is dependent on the roads that are traveled. During many years development for automobile GPS navigation system, industry has tried various ways to implement them. For example certain company introduced car navigation system that was based primarily on an accelerometer, not on GPS. After some innovation, Automobile GPS Navigation systems had yet to really commonly apply. Since then more portable GPS systems have been equipped with more creative functions.

GPS car navigation systems parts

Car GPS Navigation System is made up of receiver and a map database. Some advanced systems also have drive DVD or TV to supplement when drivers want to listen to music and so on.

The database map displays the street names and addresses. Some devices have are more human-oriented, it can set the specific locations, such as points of interest. Sometimes you drive to a very good service of restaurant, but it’s the first time you go there. If you want to eat at that nice restaurant next time, you can set the points of interest instead of remembering the location.

Other Applications such as business

Some transportation corporations use GPS navigation system within their vehicles track vehicles avoiding their employees to cheat their boss or other purposes. In many countries, taxis come equipped with a car DVD NAV, so that taxi company staff can track their cars location effectively and accurately and it can entertain passengers too.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
