Posted on by — No Comments ↓ 362 views

It is very important for “road idiots” to choose a useful GPS navigation stereo system for their cars. But for many people, there is very little understanding of car navigation, and there are many types of car navigation system on the market. In this post, we’ll talk about how to purchase a good navigation stereo system.

Things to consider when buying car navigation system

Choose a car navigation at the right price

There are many GPS-related products on the market, you should purchase them according to your own usage and budget. It is not a good thing to blindly pursue high-end products, yet it is your ability to buy the most cost-effective products.

At present, in terms of style and use, navigation are mainly divided into vehicle-mounted embedded and handheld portable. For price, product portability, entertainment, practicality, etc., the handheld portable navigation stereo system has certain advantages. There are many navigation brands on the market, such as Seicane whose price relatively affordable.

Check whether the maps in navigation system are practical

Generally speaking, the map often used by navigators is Google Maps, but some navigators cannot support the latest version of Google Maps. In fact, you also need to spend a certain amount of time to familiarize yourself with the operation of navigation software.

Pay attention to the screen size of the navigation

The size of the GPS navigation stereo system is mainly measured by the size of its screen. According to different car models, users can choose different sizes. GPS navigation is mainly to play its core navigation role when driving. The 9-inch navigator has the best visual effect on the car, and this also includes its MP3, MP4 entertainment and other aspects. Although many products have relative value-added services, some of the navigator system solutions with value-added service functions are not very mature. It is recommended that you do not rush to buy because at the meantime the price is high.

Know what other functions the car navigation system offer

In terms of functions, current navigation system mainly support Bluetooth, FM radio, video input, Carplay and so on. These functions require some settings, because at the beginning, everyone is not very good at using GPS stereo system, and needs guidance from the merchant.

Consider the search speed of navigation

A good navigator generally takes less than one minute to search, and some fake and inferior brand navigators take about two minutes to search, and some are even worse. After driving for more than ten minutes and almost reaching the destination, these bad navigation have not been searched. What a bad user experience.

Still pay attention to the navigation map

If the search speed of the map is fast, it indicates that there is a good configuration of the navigation. On the other hand, map apps are equally important, and easy-to-use maps are the key. In fact, each map has its own advantages. IGO and Google are both good. Pay attention to the genuine map.

Provide perfect after-sales service

Well-known companies of car navigation devices generally build a relatively blameless after-sales service system, such as Seicane, Alpine, etc., and consumers can enjoy satisfactory services. In some well-known companies, when the user’s navigator needs to be returned to the factory for repair, a spare device is also provided for the user to use.
