(Honda mower parts) How Auto GPS Units Work
No commentsBy Phoenix Delray
Auto GPS units are probably the coolest things to hit the car since the cup holder. They can direct you anywhere you need to go, navigate you around traffic, construction and unexpected road blocks, help you find a nail salon and do it all with style. The voices on auto GPS units are almost always British and female, which go a long way in helping you to feel a bit closer to your inner James Bond (even if you are in a 1992 Ford Taurus).
These days, auto GPS units are available as an option in just about every new car, keeping more and more people from getting lost each day. One of the coolest things about auto GPS units is that auto GPS unit users do not have to subscribe to an additional service, costing extra money, for the devices to work. Other car gadgets, like OnStar, require you to spend extra cash each month just to have the thing work, kind of like a cell phone. With auto GPS units, on the other hand, you just plug it in to make it work and get to your destination.
Still, despite the fact that auto GPS units are prevalent in America today, few people actually know how they actually work (even if most of them use GPS on a day to day basis). To clear up any confusion, here is a glimpse on how auto GPS units work:
Each auto GPS unit has a receiver that calculates the position of your car by timing the signals that are sent by the mass of GPS satellites way above the earth. Each satellite continually sends out messages containing information, which is then picked up by the receiver, which is then sent through the auto GPS unit for it to compute the exact position of the car, a calculation made using geometry and trigonometry.
This information is then mixed with the data that came with the auto GPS unit when you bought it, giving you a map with a you are here dot that moves along as you do. The result is the map on the screen of the auto GPS unit that tells you which intersection you are at, which direction you need to steer to get where you are going and how far away your destination is. All in all, auto GPS units are one of the most useful technological advancements in the last few years.

Learn About Left Hand Drive Car Conversions
By Daniel Millions
For the people around the globe who live in right hand drive (rhd) areas, finding a left hand drive (lhd) car can be very difficult if not impossible. Some dealers specialize in importing left hand drive cars to sell to consumers but this is quite rare. For the most part a left hand drive car is just an oddity to people who don’t drive them.
In fact, many people only see left hand drive cars in movies that are based in the parts of the world where they are driven. Some car manufactures don’t even make left hand drive cars or if they do, the quantity is very limited or only sold in certain areas. However, companies such as Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Mazda, Lexus and Audi usually produce both left and right hand drive cars for most of their makes and models.
Once you have found a left hand car dealer you will need to do some extensive research into the cars history to ensure quality. Was the car manufactured to be a left hand drive car, or was it converted into one? If it was converted it’s best to question your dealer about the process and inquire about future repairs. Changing a right hand drive car over to the left side doesn’t necessarily mean that the car is somehow defective. Since the car has undergone a major change, it could have a negative impact on the car if it wasn’t done properly.
Just as with any car repair, improper work will only lead to spending more on repairs down the line. Even a brand new car that has been converted may show problems. Technically, the car isn’t even considered brand new any longer once the conversion has taken place. Some cars simply can’t be converted and forcing a conversion is very unethical but this does take place to some degree.
The most important thing is to have the car tested out by a third party mechanic using the standard diagnostic test that normal cars go through. Failing to do so could lead you to purchase a car that is unsafe for the road. The 1993 Jeep Cherokee Utility left hand drives were recalled due to defects and safety concerns and so have many other models.
Other things you need to be aware of when selecting a left hand drive car is the cost of maintaining your car. If your car is an import or contains parts imported, you should be prepared to spend more money on the cars maintenance then you would on regular cars. Just as with anything imported for another area you should be prepared for limited availability, higher cost and possibly extended periods of time for the parts to arrive.
Individuals should select left hand drive cars by first reviewing the car dealer’s website and then researching the cars history, while reading the car owner’s manual. Car manuals give full detailed information and specifications about the car and they normally state clearly if the car was made to be converted.
Whether you plan on importing a left hand drive car or getting a right hand drive car converted, your main concern should be safety. Aside from safety issues you will also have to contend with inflated cost and part availability. The best advice I could give to anyone on this subject would be to thoroughly research everything about the car and the dealer you plan to purchase it from.
