Choosing the most effective GPS system to suit your Bentley

Purchasing a GPS can be difficult as the marketplace is full of different models with a wide range of features. More importantly, there are specific GPS models that are more compatible with specific cars.

Because of this, here are a few things suggest you should keep in mind when buying a GPS for your Bentley.

1) Three types of satellite navigation system are available. They are called integrated based systems, plug and go systems and portable systems.

Integrated based systems: This type of sat-nav is installed within a car and interacts with the other aspects of your car. The main problem with this system is that it can be expensive to install but on the positive the system will be a constant feature in your car and will not need to be moved around.

Plug and go systems: These sat-nav systems are a lot more affordable than than integrated GPS systems and can be used in any vehicle. The main problem with this sat-nav is that it can be inconvenient and easily seen and removed from your car, making it tempting for thieves.

Portable systems: The most portable sat-nav with the lowest price tag as you can download it onto a mobile device. However, the issue with this sat-nav is the maps are usually on small screens and the mobile phone charges can be expensive.

2) After this you need to consider the quality of the screen display. The sat-nav display should always perform well in both bright conditions and darker lighting, the screen display should remain clear. You don't want to end up lost because you can't see your sat-nav whilst you're driving. It should be of a good enough quality to be highly visible at all times. With a non-reflective screen and bright display.

3) Coverage of the GPS is important too. You need to make sure that your sat-nav isn't going to stop service because of any mild interference. You don't want to get lost somewhere and discover your sat-nav has lost service and has no information on how to get you back home. You should gather as much information on reviews and details of several GPS models.

4) Ensure that it has both audio and visual description capabilities. This is important for two reasons: Firstly, it would be dangerous to stop watching the road to read your sat-nav so you will need to hear instructions rather than read them from a small screen. Secondly, the text aspect can be handy if you want to repeat the information, in case you missed them the first time. During this stage it is a good idea to check your Bentley manual and see if it has options for connecting to a sat-nav.
