Navigators here and there......!!!!!

Priced at around 100 pounds the navigator is an indispensable gadget to any new driver on the UK roads. Attributed to the scarce populace on the roads, you would hardly find anyone to ask the way to a place if you are new to the place, which makes this little talking gadget imperative to any infant 'UK Driver'.
There are two kinds of navigators, static and dynamic .The static one does not take care of the traffic details while showing direction where as the dynamic one takes into account the live traffic details before suggesting the routes to take.
Though I had heard of the GPRS technology while at college, the navigator came as a not so little surprise to me. We were on our way to Northampton , around 25 miles from Milton Keynes for the 'Disaster Recovery' session of our project. On indicating the starting and destination address it suggested the route to take to reach the place .Except for the small hiccups at the start and end, the device was almost flawless in showing the route.
Talking about the use of Navigators in India someone in the team said spontaneously " We do not need them on the Indian roads...there will always be someone to guide you where ever you be in India "
Path guiders here and there....!!!!!
