Satellite navigation systems use radio time signals transmitted by satellites to enable mobile receivers on the ground to determine their exact location.
The relatively clear line of sight between the satellites and receivers on the ground, combined with ever-improving electronics, allows satellite navigation
systems to measure location to accuracies within a few metres in real time.
As satellite navigation systems become as common as CD players, research reveals that over 10% have used the controls on their satellite navigation while
driving, instead of programming their route before hitting the road. What?s more, over 50% admit that doing so meant that their eyes were taken off the
road, leading to driving danger.
Police are warning drivers to remove their Satellite Navigation devices and all other valuables when leaving their car.
Love them or hate them, they are here to stay.
