Mobile GPS by Navman offers consumers a variety of devices, including handheld and vehicle-mounted models, to cater to users' needs. One key feature of the company's devices is their mapping function, which can be supported by TeleAtlas or other mapping software.
Function
The majority of Navman mobile GPS, or global positioning system, units support TeleAtlas, including the N-Series, PiN Series, F-Series and iCN Series. TeleAtlas uses basic triangulation to locate a unit through the use of three satellite feeds to pinpoint the exact position of the unit on Earth.
Features
Only one set of maps from TeleAtlas can be downloaded onto a Navman device. If you would like to load another brand of maps, you need to uninstall TeleAtlas and download the wanted software.
Considerations
Keep in mind that the Navman hardware may not function the same with another brand of mapping software. Designers build the hardware to function within peak parameters of the intended software. By loading foreign software, some features may suffer from failure, or the entire mapping system may not function at all.
