GPS System for car
By bgeorgevtm •
I want to instal GPS system in my car. Can anybody tell me from where i can get it installed, how much it will cost and which is the better brand. What are the things we need to keep in mind while purchasing new GPS for car. ?
Thanks and happy new year
Forgot to mention that OEM GPS that comes with the car is more secure compared to after market portable GPS but upgradability options are limited and very heavy on wallet.
Best brand for car gps in this region is Garmin,available in range between 600 to 1300 qr. Various screen sizes and functions are available ,it's preferable to have one with bluetooth and also backtracking ,which helps if you visit different countries and offroading .Garmin maps are upgradable at a price, besides local one year warranty from al Linghavi .After warranty service is bit costly but possible.Can be used while walking.
Cheaper brands are available but once broken cannot be serviced and needs to be binned.Mounting is easier then child's play.Instantly removable when required and remember there is no mobile which can perform better then a dedicated GPS on wheels.you don't have to pay for roaming in GCC region.
Cell phone has advantage of assisted GPS OR A-GPS when in enclosed areas like malls,buildings etc.
Google Garmin and check price,features etc.Keep in mind what is good for Europe /US may not be good for Mideast.
Good Luck.
dnt be stupid , just buy a nokia phne , free gps and maps for goood, and enjoy
What sort do you mean for the car? Like a In-dash by removing your current CD/FM Player or Stick-on?
Anyways i'll answer both,
In-Dash (removing current music system)
I myself have a in-dash system, I took out the Bose system and installed the tv screen from Kenwood, Costed 1700QR, brought from Lulu Hypermarket, 100QR for installation.
I have a years warranty comes with AUX/USB/IPod Connect/GPS/MP3 CD/Audio CD and many more functions. Got as much as i paid. 7 Inch Touch Screen with a Volume Knob button (Dont like the click volumes)
Stick-on
Any Carrefour supplies that in the Mobile Telephones Section. They range from 300QR to 1200QR depending on your functions. Its a simple stick-on that attaches to your wind screen through a suction pad and charge it through the cigarette lighter.
Hope it helps.
