Chuck the sat nav interior the weee bin. the only factor well-known via regulation is the speedometer equipped on your vehicle. they're infrequently ever precise, yet this is all you could desire to flow on in courtroom. you're able to have the accuracy checked on a rolling street, yet as your tyres placed on down in favourite use the speedo examining would be out. this is why they say + or - 10%. With the prat nav, you have a postpone interior the sign travelling to the distinctive satellites utilized via them so theoretically your velocity is a pair of seconds 'previous' while displayed. Gatso cameras use radar, Truvelo use wires interior the line floor, the two calculate the time it takes to return and forth a sequence distance - giving your velocity

Satellite Navigation
Also one technologyt than enables GPS - global positioning systems - devices and technologies that tell you where you are at any given point in time.
You can try Garmin, magellangps, and trimble (use these precise 'names'.com and go to their websites).there is also another car based product called tom tom go. What you buy would decide on what he wants to use it for - in the car? for running? for fishing?, etc
