Posted by Emprise Marketing on
GPS devices use satellites to monitor your position. They are quickly becoming the standard navigation devices for all kinds of travel. They're great for planning out journeys, allowing drivers to drop way points and save trips, and contain massive amounts of data that simply can't be displayed on printed maps; points of interest, camp sites, petrol stations and so on.

Whether it’s to get in touch with the RFDS, family or friends in emergency situations, when you’re in areas beyond the reach of mobile communications, an alternative is required.
