X 21 introduces Satellite-based Navigation System

Compasses and maps are gone and new portable satellite navigation devices with GPS technology come handy for 21st century drivers.

Portable GPS devices, fitting into the palm of your hand or built into automobile dashboards, now bring Space Age navigation to the masses.

The Global Positioning System, GPS is a space-based radio-navigation system consisting of a constellation of satellites and a network of ground stations used for monitoring and control.

The GPS device enables you to easily plan and track the quickest or shortest route to your destination fully assisted by turn-by-turn voice instructions.

The user also benefit from the latest 3D view maps, the option to programme personal addresses as favourite routes and 'Back-On-Track' functionality which helps to reach the destination in the event of a diversion or wrong turn.

"Instructions are clear and easy to follow and the bad thing is you might end up relying too much on the device", says Ko tha Tun.

Because its capabilities are accessible using small, inexpensive equipment, GPS is being utilised in a wide variety of applications across the globe.

This technology has originally been developed over the last thirty years for military purposes.

Nowadays a minimum of 24 GPS satellites orbit the Earth providing users with accurate information on position, velocity, and time anywhere in the world.

GPS technology enables anyone with a receiver capable of picking up signals emitted by a constellation of satellites to instantly determine their position in time and space very accurately.

The Satellite Receiver with GPS Mapping Software allows users to navigate from door-to-door.
