Choosing an in-car sat-navigation system for your vehicle is often a choice filled with a confusing conundrum of makes, models, features, and prices. Sat-navigation systems are a relatively new consumer technology brought to you by big-name companies with such as Sony, Tom Tom, and Garmin. Well, aren’t all in-car sat-navigation systems basically the same? The answer is a resounding no. In-car sat-navigation systems are similar to mobile phones in that they have a basic functionality, but what you actually get in service, product, features, and prices are definitely nowhere near the same.

Perhaps one of the most useful places to actually have an in-car sat-navigation system is when travelling abroad through Europe or even further afield. The safety and comfort you get from your in-car sat-navigation system while in the UK will be carried with you. I can tell you from experience – nothing feels as hopeless or as helpless as being lost in a country where communication barriers get in the way. With a good in-car sat-navigation system, you do not need to worry about communication barriers because the system speaks your language.

The Garmin Street Pilot C510 is one of the leading models available today. This little beauty adds simplicity to the equation with easy ready-to-go capabilities straight out of the box. The anti-glare screen makes it easy to see through the glare of the sun, the vehicle behind you, and the weather. The stylish streamlined design offers a more refined, slimmer shape perfect for moving with you as you go either on foot or by vehicle.

The Garmin Street Pilot C510 offers 2D or 3D options with the navigational maps. With the multitude of points of interests, this in-car sat-navigation system is definitely going to get you where you want to go safe and sound. The high-sensitivity GPS receiver means you get the service you deserve even when under skyscrapers and deep foliage which can break the service of other in-car sat-navigation systems.

How about for travelling abroad? How does this in-car sat-navigation system add up? The Garmin Street Pilot C510 has UK map data, including automatic routing, for your choosing pleasure. However, additional information is purchasable through Garmin which will allow for travelling abroad through many European countries. With this data comes an extensive and complete supply of points of interest. The traffic services and receiver, your in-car sat-navigation system will help you avoid construction work, traffic issues, and weather delays by suggesting an alternative, safer route.

With a price of only £269.99, the Garmin Street Pilot C510 is the perfect choice for those wanting a cost-effective in-car sat-navigation system of their very own.

For something a little different, many people take a close look an the Snooper Indago. This device has an in-car sat-navigation system as well as a safety camera detection device combined in one easy-to-use box. The Snooper Indago is a portable in-car sat-navigation system equipped with the most advanced and latest technologies available today. Imagine being alerted to “fixed” speed cameras in time to properly meet the regulations avoiding speeding tickets; the Snooper Indago also helps detect accident blackspots. Simply stated – the Snooper Indago is designed to get you where you are going safely and quickly (and, probably more importantly for those of us with a heavy foot – with less points on our license).

The screen view of the Snooper Indago is both 2D and 3D allowing you to choose what makes you feel comfortable. The 3.5” LCD display offers a large viewing and work area, and the 256 Mb SD card is enormous and included in the package. Mapping is available through Navteq, and Navteq offers mapping through the world. If you are looking for a top-notch, protective, and safe in-car sat-navigation system, the Snooper Indago is a great purchase. At £445.46, the investment now will save you money, time, and suffering in the future.

Finally, when discussing in-car sat-navigation systems, no list is complete with adding a popular Sony into the fray. The Sony NVU70T is a popular in-car sat-navigation system with easy-to-use features for the novice, but with features built to please anyone. The 3.5” touch screen can be used if the consumer decides not to utilise the added voice guidance system. The enormous 1GB flash memory is great for adding maps and points of interest available through Navteq when travelling both locally and abroad. The price of £408.40 appeals to the expert in all of use.

Travelling abroad is made more comfortable with a good, reliable in-car sat-navigation system. The best in-car sat-navigation system of the three mentioned above in my opinion is the Snooper Indago. However, before travelling abroad it is imperative to know the legalities of having a radar/detection system in your vehicle.
