Portable GPS , a mobile navigation unit thatis useful in a variety of different applications, has come of age. Portable GPS systems are now sought by marine enthusiasts, outdoor adventurers, professional drivers, pilots and more. If you are not yet a dealer of handheld GPS units, let CWR Electronics help you get established.

Portable GPS , or global positioning systems, have become one of the hottest, fastest-moving products for dealers in recent years. Using a mobile navigation unit, people can see where they are at any given moment. With portable auto navigation technology, people can go anywhere, anytime without having to stop for directions. Portable GPS systems lock in on signals from at least three satellites (there are 24 available circling the earth in geosynchronous orbit) and triangulate a longitude/latitude on the earth to within a three to 15 meters. Some GPS portable units have maps of major highways and airports and landmarks like lakes and rivers. These mobile navigation unit maps, superimposed over a triangulated position, gives reference points and even instructions a person can follow to get where they’re going – and back again.
