A Trip Without naviflash:In the old days, people would rely on their road atlases and street maps to somehow get from A to B. Nowadays there’s route planners in the internet which will work your route out for you – you just make a couple of printouts and set off. For this reason, quite a few motorists ask themselves the question: ‘why do I actually need a navigation system?
Yet the problems often start as soon as you get on the motorway – where you expect them to crop up the least. A tailback is suddenly announced on the radio 20 km further along the carriageway. There’s an exit approaching. ‘Shall I turn off or not? How long is the diversion? Will it be worth it?’ Things start getting hectic as the person in the passenger seat reaches for the map and tries to find the right page; things get dangerous when the driver joins in. In the last minute, swinging across the carriageway from right to left, you finally make the turn-off.
After three wrong turnings and a 50 km detour, you finally reach the town you were looking for. Even if you’ve printed some maps out they probably aren’t any use, as you’ve driven in from the other side. Then there’s a set of road works, a diversion to the right, rush hour traffic and not a signpost in sight. The result: dangerous manoeuvres to get into the right lane, and speeding to make your appointment followed by getting caught by a speed camera. What a disaster!
With a naviflash navigation system, you can save yourself all of this stress. You just get in your car (without your print outs) and enter your destination. Naviflash then tells you the estimated journey time and time of arrival. On the motorway, thanks to TMC, you’re warned about the traffic jam and immediately suggested alternative routes. You decide which route you want to consider. The route is rapidly calculated and you calmly turn off at the next exit.
You arrive at your town of destination without any detours or wild goose chases. Right on time, the navigation system tells you which lane to drive in. Road works: your alternative route is immediately worked out. You don’t have to keep looking out for street names, just concentrate on the traffic. No hectic manoeuvres. And if you’re going a bit too quickly, naviflash warns you so you don’t get caught by a speed camera. You arrive for your appointment on time – and you haven’t fallen out with your fellow passengers because of their poor map reading skills either!
