Satellite Navigation Systems – Throw Away Your Atlas

Getting to the campground can be made so much easier with the use of a Satellite Navigation System(Sat Nav for short). Sat Nav is becoming very popular and advances in technology have made it affordable for the masses. Why fight with folding a map or flipping through an atlas when, with a few taps on the screen, your course can be generated for you.

The new Sat Nav units are very user friendly, portable and becoming more and more affordable. This makes them perfect for camping and the outdoors. Not only can you use the unit to get to your destination, many units are small enough to be taken on hikes, bike rides or fishing trips. Never get lost or forget where that great fishing hole is located again.

  1. It’s been really interesting to see how much this technology has progressed. This tiny units are much better than the big old huge atlas.

  2. Nav systems are great, but I’ve found that you need to have an idea of your route. Both systems I have sometimes lead one astray, down dead end streets, or down the road, across narrow mountain log roads, etc. which in turn are not only impassable but are just not there. Otherwise they are great and can always get you back to your original destination “home”.
