It’s hard to imagine a world without GPS satellite navigation. We all take it for granted now, although until fairly recently, most of us had never heard of it. The way it works is relatively simple – GPS satellites broadcast the time and data about their location and the GPS receiver compares signals from at least three or four GPS satellites to determine it’s own location. All the receiver has to do is to calculate how far away it is from each satellite based on how much time it takes a broadcast signal to travel from the satellite to the receiver.

In car sat nav systems are increasingly popular and the most popular brands include Tom Tom sat nav, Navman and Garmin. An in car sat nav is very useful for long car journeys and many professional drivers (such as coach, lorry and taxi drivers) would not be without their trusty sat nav. Whether you are looking for a cheap entry level system or a more expensive high end sat nav, Flying Penguin has a selection of sat nav deals to suit all pockets. If you have a sat nav system already, you can compare your sat nav with other systems on the market.
