Navigation systems

Innovative installation solutions from Blaupunkt

April 2008 -- Portable navigation systems are becoming increasingly popular; they are small, very useful and quite affordable. In contrast to navigation devices that are permanently installed in the vehicle, it has not always been easy to find the right spot for the more compact guides. After all, portable navigation systems are usually stuck on the windshield with a suction cup or mounted on the dash. And of course, there are also screw-on and clamp connections to the dash itself as well as gooseneck mounting solutions near the console.

THE HAGUE, The Netherlands, January 8/PRNewswire/ -- Using a new research method, the Stichting Onderzoek Navigatiesystemen ("Navigation Systems Research Foundation") has discovered why navigation systems cannot find ring roads in cities. Software errors are the cause. The Foundation predicts a catastrophic development if the authorities do not intervene: more traffic accidents and casualties, and side roads becoming jammed with volumes of traffic for which they were not designed.
