Sat Nav Hire South Africa

We have recently added Middle East mapping to our satellite navigation hire range. The Middle East is becoming a far more popular place for tourists with Dubai leading the way with spectacular hotels, buildings, shops, beaches and golf courses. The mapping includes United Arab Emirates (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. With sun all year round it is the ideal place to visit during our winter months.

TomTom state that the coverage is as follows, street network coverage Bahrain 99%, Kuwait 99%, Qatar 99%, Oman 80%, Saudi Arabia 82%, UAE 99%. There are 183,620 Kms of roads covered through the entire region with 90,794 points of interest. House number coverage in Kuwait is 99% and in UAE is 36%. As well as being able to navigate from house to house you can also travel from country to country across border.

Although driving laws in Dubai are very similar to many other countries with so many people driving high powered cars on highways with up to 10 lanes accidents are inevitable and the statistics show Dubai to have one of the highest road death rates in the world. A few years ago traffic was unheard of in Dubai, but now growth has overtaken the development of the road network so at peak times there are jams that would not be out of place in London.

The TomTom device we will be supplying for hire in the Middle East will contain seamless mapping for the whole area. Prices for Sat Nav Hire Middle East start from £31.02 for the first week and just £63.33 for one month.

This time of year whilst it is cold and wet here in the UK many people are travelling to the Southern Hemisphere to enjoy some winter sun. Probably one of our most popular hire products is our TomTom South Africa sat nav. South Africa is a beautiful country and many chose to drive the full length of the country starting from Johannesburg and driving to Cape Town via the east coast and the spectacular garden route. Sat Nav Hire South Africa has many advantages. Firstly, it takes away the stress of getting lost or not being able to find you hotel. Secondly, you are able to take in the scenery rather than having to map read.

Our TomTom South Africa units contain recent mapping with 1000′s of point of interest making navigation very easy. There are a few places that are worth a visit which can often be off the beaten track with no precise address. Fortunately, this does not pose a problem when using the TomTom. There is an excellent feature when plotting your route that allows you to enter your GPS coordinates. How do I know the coordinates? you may ask. Most of the places that are in the middle of nowhere such as some game reserves and vineyards display their GPS coordinates on their website. If not, you can visit www.itouchmap.com where you can pinpoint a location on a map and it will give you the precise coordinates. Even better, if you email us your destinations after placing your order we will pre-program the places for you free of charge.

We can also provide you with car hire for South Africa and many other travel extras.
