How to choose an autonavigator?

1. Autonavigator maps - it is not difficult to choose from a technical point of view, they are all approximately the same, they differ in screen size and a set of additional functions.

For Atyrau, Navitel maps do not have address lookup. There are options with CityGuide, they have a search by addresses for our city, but the maps themselves are worse. 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_go. Useful combination with 2 in one DVR.

2. Processor power size RAM built-in memory also plays an important role, especially when you use large cards or a whole set of cards. If you load all the maps of the CIS into a relatively inexpensive "without a name" navigator, then it will certainly slow down even with a large flash card. In this case, you need to distinguish between the memory where the cards are located - a flash card. And the memory inside which the RAM information is processed, unfortunately, this parameter is often not indicated in the description and technical specifications.

3. Screen size - a controversial parameter, on the one hand, everyone wants to have a large screen, on the other hand, a large screen blocks the view more. Currently, the most fashionable and popular size is 5 inches.

4. Resolution screen directly affects the sharpness of the image. But we must not forget that a large resolution loads the central processor more and the navigator can slow down in combination with a weak processor.

Recently, more and more often, a tablet or smartphone connected to the Internet via a cellular network (mobile data) is used as an autonavigator. This solution even has many advantages. For example: Traffic jams are displayed on the streets of the city, Maps are more "fresh" and detailed. But as a drawback, routing often does not take into account signs and road markings. So you have to be careful with these cards.

Features of regular navigation

1. Regular navigation for certain countries   - many buyers of expensive cars have encountered a problem. There is an auto-navigator in the car, but on the territory of Kazakhstan, the map is not displayed. This situation is very typical, especially for Kazakhstan and the republics of Central Asia. The problem lies in the fact that maps and navigation work only on the territory of those countries where the manufacturer has a network of official salons and, most importantly, government agencies agree to the collection and provision of cartographic information  and thereby support the cartography of this manufacturer auto. Today the situation is as follows, Kazakhstan does not provide such support to Auto manufacturers and therefore they naturally cannot officially create maps for our state. As soon as such a car is in another country devoid of such problems, navigation and maps are automatically turned on, for example, in Russia.

2. Built-in GPS navigator using smartphone capabilities . Such a decision is quite acceptable and justified.

First of all, you will always have relatively fresh maps and all the latest cartographic improvements that appear for the smartphone.

Secondly, such opportunities appear if an application like Car Play or Android Auto is preinstalled on your car. The first option uses maps from Apple and the second from Google. Maps from these giants of the IT industry are quite detailed. For Kazakhstan and especially Atyrau, Google maps are preferable, they are more detailed. But the main drawback of this method is that all these maps practically do not take into account road markings and signs. It turns out that there is routing, there are addresses, but you need to be very careful when planning a route and using these maps...

Thirdly, for auto-navigation to work in this mode, it requires a constant connection of the head unit to the smartphone, via Bluetooth or via cable. This is not always convenient. In addition, this whole bundle of a regular device and a smartphone as a whole work noticeably worse than a full-fledged auto-navigation in the head unit.

Fourthly, it is necessary to distinguish between auto navigation options that actually betray on the auto screen, everything that is displayed on the smartphone. This is the worst way, since everything that is necessary and not necessary is transmitted, often without taking into account the difference in the screens of the smartphone and radio. Applications Car Play or Android Auto display the Navigation map on the auto screen more correctly. Music playback and phone calls do not interfere with each other.

How to choose radar detector ?

1. A set of monitored ranges   - the more monitored ranges are listed in the description, the better. It should be borne in mind that even inexpensive models cover approximately 90% of all security cameras and other devices used for speed control. But there are still 10% that may not be fixed.

2. The built-in GPS is useful because it warns in advance about permanently installed cameras. But do not forget to periodically update this information via the Internet once a year cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Our company provides such services.

3. Service functions, voice prompts, directions, etc. are useful but not essential.

4. Detection range - all radar detectors have sufficient to perform their tasks. Even the cheapest radar detector will hear a standard  police radar at a distance more than 5 kilometers, that is, a traffic police car over the horizon, but you can already hear it._cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_

How to choose a DVR?

1. At the review goal  - the more the better.

2. Recording quality - preferably FullHD, sometimes manufacturers deceive buyer confusing the photo resolution with the camera resolution or giving inaccurate information. It should be borne in mind that for high-quality video it is necessary to use high-quality fast flash drives,

3. The size of the screen is not important, since on a small screen no one will analyze the incident. and the big screen obscures the view.

4. Different connectors   for viewing and recording on a computer

5. Smart autodetector functions to save memory and battery power in parking watch mode.

6. Spare flash drive to quickly save important shots and continue shooting
