How Do Auto Navigation Systems Work

How Do Auto Navigation Systems Work

Have you ever given serious thought to the incredible benefits that having an auto navigation system will bring to your life and your travels?

The truth of the matter is that the more sophisticated systems on the market today provide much more than simple directions from point A to point B. Today’s auto navigation systems are your one stop travel shop when it comes to finding points of interest, restaurants, fueling stops, and places to sleep along the way.

If you’ve never given it much thought, perhaps learning a little more about how an auto navigation system really works will give you something to think about when you get around to considering the impact that a device such as this can make in your life and the lives of your family members.

The thing to remember is that not all GPS or auto navigation systems are equal. There are different manners of creation along with different manners of functionality and design.

However, they all work on very similar principles.

GPS systems use satellites that orbit the earth in order to send signals that are received by the GPS device. The system has software that interprets the signal and uses that data in order to form conclusions about the current location based on the time it took to receive the signal from the satellite, and the exact location of the satellite that sent the data.

By combining that information a conclusion can be drawn by the GPS or auto navigation system as to the exact position of the GPS device. Three satellites are used in order to determine the point of intersection and a fourth satellite insures the accuracy of the data.

Auto navigation systems are more sophisticated and much more functional than the original military GPS devices that were used. You can not only get directions to guide you on your trip, to make up for detours, and get you back on track after wrong turns, but you can also get information about local destinations, restaurants, hotels, gas stations, and a few other points of interest along the way.

Many auto navigation systems have upgrade packages that allow you to purchase a subscription, which will provide you with up to the minute information about traffic, weather, and construction along your route.

The subscription costs for these services may be a deterrent for the casual driver but will prove invaluable to those who rely on correct directions and being on time while traveling extensively through work.

Be sure that whenever you purchase a GPS or auto navigation system that the system you purchase is not only full upgradeable but also easily upgraded. It does no good to have a system that is capable of being upgraded if you can’t figure out how to upgrade it.

Many of these systems can be upgraded by using a something as simple as a CD or DVD in order to deliver the information and upgrades. If you can’t upgrade your system it will become obsolete in time as new roads are constantly being made and old roads are often closed for construction and upgrades.

If you do not have the latest data on roads you are essentially driving just as blindly as you would be without an auto navigation system.

Playstation 3 (PS3) Wireless Keypad Review

Playstation 3 (PS3) Wireless Keypad Review

In this video, I review the wireless keypad for the Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) console.

This wireless keypad attaches to the PS3 Six Axis controller and is available for sale today for .99 USD. The device has a USB connector at the top which is used to charge it. It has its own battery which isn’t replaceable much like the Six Axis controller.

Thankfully, it has it’s own power switch to turn the keypad on and off manually. It has buttons for the Select, Start, and Playstations buttons which work with your existing controller.

Along the top of the device are two meta buttons, one blue, and one orange. To type the orange and blue keys on the keypad, one would have to use the each respective meta key. Shift is not used for these characters and is only used for capitalization.

As for comfort, I couldn’t type very well until I figured out that I needed to slide my thumbs up from the normal position. Once I did that, I was able to type fairly easily.

A great feature of the wireless pad which I have not seen before, is that the entire keypad acts as a trackpad! To turn this on, there’s a toggle button along the bottom which looks like a finger. The sensitivity of the trackpad is not great (given it’s design, it’s understandable), but it is usable for couch surfing and basic tasks.

Also along the bottom are two more keys: A message box button and a friends list shortcut.

If you have a PS3, and send messages to your friends, this is a good investment. It’s also good for Playstation Home usage and also if you use the web browser on the PS3.

The touchpad feature is new and innovative and I applaud Sony for doing something this cool. Again, this keypad is .99 USD at your local store or online. Take care!
