Summer is here and it’s time to hit the road. There will be many Australians packing up the car and preparing to head out of town. But having the right device like one of the latest Navman products, can keep you safe and potentially save you thousands of dollars.
After the pandemic restrictions, we now have our freedom. And many are getting back out on the road.
Leading in-car brand Navman has been designing and manufacturing dash cams and GPS devices for more than 15 years and they have been rigorously tested to handle Australian conditions.
But it’s not a one size fits all scenario. Not everyone drives the same and not everyone drives the same vehicle
Navman has a range of products to suit all kinds of drivers whether they are a learner, a professional, a truck driver, if they are driving a 4WD, towing caravans and boats and much more.
Navman has products starting from as little as $169 that still offer impressive features like full high definition 1080P and with safety camera alerts
On the safety side, a Navman dash cam or GPS can help you keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.
For a start, it becomes your hands-free device after you’ve connected your phone so you can focus on the driving.
Navman GPS devices also offer fatigue alerts after you’ve been driving continuously for more than two hours.
And it can not only remind you to take a break, but also show you the nearest place to stop.
The devices can even remind you to turn your headlights on when you’re driving after dark.
ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) also provides forward collision warnings and lane departure warnings via an audible prompt or voice alert to keep you sharp behind the wheel.
And you’re probably wondering how an Navman can save you money.
Have you seen the size of the fines for touching your phone while you’re driving?
What about a fine for running a red light or speeding? They don’t come cheap.
Thankfully, the Navman can provide an alert when you’re approaching a red-light camera or a speed camera as well as give you complete connectivity to your calls without the need for you to lift a finger.
Another area where people can be heavily fined are in school zones.
Again, the Navman can tell you when you are approaching a school zone and even remind you of the local speed limit on the screen.
The Navman dash cams can also be your eyes and ears on the road and potentially save on insurance claims, loss of excess and more expensive policies.
The dash cam footage, which also includes the location and speed, can be just enough to prove you’re not at fault in an accident.
This footage can be provided to insurance companies and to the police to aid in any potential investigation.
the Navman range includes several dash cams and GPS devices with models to suit all types of drivers.
