Audi GPS Navigation

What will you opt for as a GPS Navigation for your car Audi? A Handheld GPS or Car GPS? Surely you may have the answer well in mind. You will definitely make up your mind for the Car GPS Navigation, since you can not always hold the GPS and car GPS is specially made for the car as its name implies. But if you are asked about the difference of the handheld GPS and the car GPS, maybe you are also unclear about that and can not answer it immediately. 


Generally speaking, handheld GPS, car GPS and GPS tracker and other GPS devices with the navigation function make up a large range of GPS units. You may be very familiar to iPhone, mobile phones as well as PDA which comes with the GPS navigation function. As to the aspect of the difference between the handheld GPS and the car GPS, you may know the very little understanding. Now we OemCarGps would like to talk about the differences simply.

Firstly, they are designed for different purposes and for different situations. The car GPS Navigation also known as DVD Navigation is specially made for the cars and the drivers, while the handheld GPS is applied to the following fields for example mining, military, agriculture and many activities in the open air like water sports, mountain climbing etc. You can easily figure out the difference that the handheld GPS is especially useful in the outdoor navigation or mapping. In comparison the car GPS is of great necessity in the urban network.

The handheld GPS used in the outdoor mapping should be available for handhold and easy to carry like the iPhone. A car GPS comes in the shape of iPad with the big screen. Because of the external environment of the handheld GPS is rather complicated, it must be dust-resistant, shock resistant as well as waterproof. But the car GPS requires not so much as the handheld GPS in this aspect.

The information which is displayed is different. Handheld GPS usually comes with the contour map and sow the straight line to your final destination in addition to information of distance and direction, temperature and height. The car GPS display an electronic map, giving your instructions along the road. The detailed information such as car speed, entertainment parks, restaurants and situations of the road can be shown as well.

Now you may have a general understanding of the difference between them and pick one out based on what you want.
