  2. Place of Installation
    Where are you going to install the mount? Is it for a vehicle that is sturdier, or riskier ones such as a motorcycle? Whichever it is, you have to make sure the mount fits to where you’ll place it.
  3. Activity
    In relevance to the location of the mount, your activity also matters in installing ram mounts. For vehicles that are used for off-road adventures, a stronger grip is required to hold your device in place.

Handheld GPS

Handheld GPS Benefits

While phones have built-in apps for navigating, considering them as an accurate handheld GPS is a mistake. Once you’re navigating remote or difficult terrain, a handheld GPS is a must for topographical maps, waypoints, weather updates and even SOS messaging.

A lot of unpredictable instances can happen during a supposed fun adventure. From inclement weather to encountering wild animals, it’s not farfetched for these things to happen. That’s why we highly encourage people to get portable GPS devices. Phones are simply not enough to map out your destination and lead you to a safer track. Fortunately, here at Electric Bug, we supply a wide range of options that you can choose from. From handheld GPS for your next hike to waterproof marine GPS with charts for boating and fishing.

Features to consider for your new Handheld GPS

There are a large number of hand held GPS on the market, with minimal to extraordinary numbers of features. Consider what you will be using your hand held portable GPS for and what features you may need:

  1. Waypoints and Accurate Mapping
    Marking your waypoints is a great way to stay on track. A handheld GPS allows you to plan your route using the preloaded topoactive maps and other information at your fingertips. The Etrex 22x is a low-cost option.
  2. Weather Alert
    Many GPS models have a weather alert feature to notify you of coming weather events. 5 day weather forecasts as well as ABC sensors, are especially useful in a handheld GPS to help you be as prepared as possible. Try the GPSMAP 66s.
  3. SOS and Emergency Alerts
    Most new GPS, such as the Montana 700i have an integrated SOS button. Some are even able to transmit over satellite networks for global safety. In the event of an emergency, a GPS allows authorities to track your location accurately, so you can be found as quickly as possible even when off the beaten track.
  4. Coastal Charts
    If you are going offshore, a GPS such as the GPSMAP 79sc is purpose built with you in mind. Features include coastal charts, fogproof screen and floating body.
Handheld GPS

Why buy a Handheld GPS at Electric Bug?

A handheld GPS is not just for hikers and adventurous people. It is also ideal for accurate surveying by professionals. That’s why Electric Bug offers a range of products that can fit any of our customers’ needs.

“After-sales service is the key. Not only do they know their products but they put customer service on another level. I purchased a GPS navigator a few weeks before the Adelaide caravans camping show from them and the item was considerably cheaper for the show. I enquired and mentioned I should’ve waited to buy it. The manager at the show took my name and number and refunded the difference. I don’t think too many businesses would’ve done that. Special thanks to Anthony. Why would anyone go anywhere else”.

What Feature 4×4 Accessories You Should Consider

When purchasing 4×4 accessories, there are a number of things you should consider
to make sure you’re getting the right sets. Whether you’re a seasoned driver or a newbie, knowing the handbook of buying accessories can prevent you from committing mistakes. To help you, here are some factors you should consider:

  • Will it affect your vehicle’s warranty?
    A lot of newbies mistakenly purchase an accessory without considering if it can damage the vehicle and prevent you from claiming the warranty.
  • How robust is the material?
    Make sure you’re not prioritising aesthetics when purchasing accessories related to safety. For instance, bull bars should be made of strong material, enough to protect people inside the vehicle in case of accidents.
  • Is it compatible with other factory accessories?
    Compatibility is a factor you should consider if you want to maximise your purchase’s value.
  • Does the accessory affect the functionality of your vehicle?

Why Get a Satellite Phone for Hire

Primarily, people hire satellite phones because they want to keep lines of communication open when travelling to remote or rural areas. Compared to mobile phones, which connect to a particular cellular phone tower, these devices connect directly to a satellite. Hence, if you are a business that operates globally, it’s easy for you to operate regardless of your location.

Other reasons why you’ll need a satellite phone:

  • Travelling enthusiasts can remain in communication with their families once they get to a location where mobile networks are not accessible. You will ensure that they have peace of mind even when you are far away from them.
  • They are a safety tool, especially during an emergency call. For instance, in case of an earthquake and your cell phone service is not functional, you can use the device to communicate.

Buying Vs Hiring a Satellite Phone

When looking for a satellite phone, you can look forward to either hiring or buying one with Electric Bug. We make it easy to hire, as we provide all the essentials and are even open Saturdays for your convenience.

Whats the cost of Satellite Phone Rental?

These devices can be costly. If you are an avid traveller or business purchasing a sat phone may be for you! Browse our range online or come in store to talk to an expert.

If you only need to travel for a few days, hiring this device is a good option as the cost of the phone plan can add up if you are only using the device infrequently.

Our Iridium hire phones come already connected to the Pivotel network, meaning you’ll be ready to go immediately! We also provide all the essentials such as a carry bag, charger, and protective case. We also offer postage or in-store pickup.

If you’d like a quote, just give us a call! We have hire sat phones from just $5 per day for long term hires.

On the other hand, each carries its own set of differences. For instance, UHF (Ultra High Frequency) is ideal for people who intend to use them indoors or in areas where the signal comes across various physical obstacles.

They are not as effective in an indoor environment.
