GPS satellite-navigation systems

There are plenty of GPS satellite-navigation systems on the market that will get you exactly where you need to go. Forget all the horror stories — if you’re a sensible driver and you don’t take everything a sat-nav says literally, then this will probably turn out to be the best technological investment you’ve ever made.

From driving to a part of town you haven’t been to before, to touring the countryside or even driving abroad, a GPS system will make it all easier and more enjoyable. You can even get sat-navs so small that they’ll fit in your pocket and you can use them while you stroll the streets or hike the hills.

We continually compare our prices to ensure they are the most competative in the industry and will be adding many more products each day focussing on GPS Sat Nav and GPS Speed Camera Detectors.

Satellite Navigation was originally designed for military applications. GPS allows for extreme precision in the delivery of weapons to targets greatly increasing their lethality whilst reducing inadvertent casualties from mis-directed weapons.

As Satellite systems are owned by a country (the only country being the USA at the moment) they have the ability to degrade or eliminate satellite navigation services over any territory it desires. Therefore any country wishing to use Satellite Navigation is a client state of the supplying country.

There are 4 new Satellite Navigation systems in development. The European Union is developing Galileo, which is expected to be completed in 2010. Russia is restoring its GLONASS Satellite Navigation system. China is expanding its Regional Navigation System (Beidou) into a full GPS. India is also developing their IRNSS which is expected to be completed in 2012.
