You don't have your phone with you, maybe it's in for a broken screen repair and you need to Sat-Nav somewhere important. Will the GPS work offline?

GPS and Sat-Nav has become a very important feature for a new car. But these necessities can also be retro fitted to virtually any vehicle. If it is time to replace your existing car radio to one with GPS Sat-Nav then an android headunit can do this (and so much more).

GPS suddenly becomes a lot more useful than just a location with the addition of Sat Nav. Satellite Navigation software can use the GPS position, a software map and some clever algorithms to plan a route. Add a data connection in the form of a SIM card, USB 4G Dongle or even a Bluetooth connection to your phone. This can capture traffic information and then you get a fully featured Sat Nav in your android headunit.

The key to this GPS problem of poor satellite tracking is and therefore an inaccurate or non-existent map position is the intermittent part. For GPS install that have never worked, this guide may be helpful to follow but it is aimed at the intermittent GPS fault.
