Loading traffic jams

Modern navigators have long ceased to be just devices for plotting a route or determining coordinates. Today's models can show the driver the current road situation, the length and density of congestion. This option will be useful for those who often drive around Moscow or other large cities, as well as for professional taxi drivers. Traffic data is received by the device via the Internet, and you can connect to the network either through a built-in modem or through a smartphone using Bluetooth.

MP3 player

Those who want to brighten up their time on the road should take a closer look at models with a built-in player and audio file support. Such devices, for example, Navitel E700, can play music through headphones, external speakers, or their own speaker. Tracks can be stored both in the gadget's built-in memory and on memory cards.

Voice control

Of course, you won't be able to chat with the navigator, but giving it commands and setting the desired route is quite possible. To activate this function, just say "Voice control," and the device will respond. Using voice commands, the driver can change the display brightness, adjust the sound, and search for nearby parking lots, parking areas, and hotels. The main advantage of this technology is that it allows you not to be distracted from driving and keep your hands on the steering wheel. Before buying a navigator, it is worth checking what languages it supports for voice control.

Radar detector

This function will help warn the driver in advance that there are police radars or traffic police cameras on the way, both stationary and mobile. The sound signal will be useful for those who like to drive over the speed limit. But even with such an option in the navigator, drivers are not exempt from responsibility and must comply with traffic rules.

Digital camera

Video cameras in navigators are not new. However, in some models, manufacturers install two video devices at once, located on both sides of the case. Most of these gadgets work in the mode of a dash cam, and models with a phone module can be used for video calls, photo and video shooting. Thanks to this, such navigators can quite compete with conventional dash cams.
