This article is not about how In Double DIN Navigation works, however this article is to explain how to Integrate In Dash Gps Navigation functionality in CAR PC. Due to increasing popularity of Double Din Gadgets, all in one devices are expected to rule this niche. So a complete PC or a Double DIN Navigation will be a right choice for In Car Entertainment. Even without a PC a complete solution integrated with navigation, audio player, video player, touch controler to control all the above will be a good choice. Double Din Navigation in a PC I have used both external GPS Navigation device and my own Car PC integrated with GPS receiver. I am very much inclined towards running a navigation along with other applications in a PC. The reason behind is • You don’t need to obstruct your vision by putting it in the wind screen. • Screen real estate is big and wide (7” wide screen ). • It does not take any additional space in the dashboard. • The GPS external receiver can be placed anywhere (I placed near in the rear window) • Updating maps are really easy. • GPS navigation software can be chosen as per your requirements (as long as it is running in your OS) • You can install as many navigation softwares you like (make sure only one is running at any point of time) • Cost effective(pay for software, maps, external receiver) remember you are going to view your maps in 7” screen GPS Map and Software for Double Din Navigation If you don’t have recently updated maps where you are driving to, it is not going to be that much useful. But if you have recently updated maps, you feel how easy it is to drive without knowing much about the destination. I am from Singapore, and I enjoy GPS when driving Malaysia as well. I have an option of choosing maps from two providers in Singapore. Both the maps are very frequently updated with nice graphical presentations. Satellites and GPS Receiver Receiver needs atleast few GPS satellites available for receiving enough signals to lock. The GPS receiver needs to pick up just a few of them to get a position. Basically the receiver will have few channels though which the signals will be received. More physical channels will give faster locking. Because of parallel execution, more the physical channels higher the possibility of locking in a low signal area. There are also two standards of receiver, NMEA and SiRF. I am using SiRF III and locking is very instant. Scratch Removers Review 07/10/2011
Need for scratch removers Basically a "Scratch Removal System” would remove most of the scratches from a car's paint, which are not gone beyond the clear coat. However after testing myself a few D.I.Y scratch removers, I found some are performing beyond my expectations. Cars' painting work is comprised of a variety of layers: primer, colored paint, and a final layer known as the clear coat. I don’t normally try the scratch remover on scratches which are very deep. All can remove are very light scratches and imperfections, such as swirl marks, hazing, or oxidation. But keep in mind you should follow the guide lines given by the manufacturers or 3M Scratch Removal System reviews done by professionals. Failing to do so, there is a high possibility that you may damage the paint work. Purpose of scratch removers I bought a car from used cars in chennai, depends on age you may need to re-spray or fix the scratches. If your car is less than one or two years old, you may just use the scratch remover and the wax to bring the shine again 3M Scratch Remover Kit The 3M Scratch Removal System gives users everything necessary for polishing, as well as the proper guidance needed to repair small clear coat scratches on cars. The guidance contains steps which consisting of a three stage sanding (we don't include that in this 3M Scratch Remover Review), compounding and polishing the clear coat of your car. Scratch Removing can be D.I.Y After cleaning the surface, sand the scratched area using the included 3000 grit sandpaper. Spray water whenever necessary while sanding. After sanding the area will look dull without shine. But the scratches should disappear. At this stage the 3M rubbing compound has to be applied using the pad given in the package to refine the area. Now the Polishing can be done with the Polishing pad. Finally apply the wax to restore the mirror like finish. Laser Printing using Duplex Laser Printers 03/30/2011
