How Do I Keep My Sat Nav Safe?

Unfortunately rising sales of satellite navigation devices have also led to a rising number of thefts. If thieves gain access to your vehicle they can remove portable sat navs in an instant. The police have been re-issuing standard warnings reminding you to close windows, lock doors and remove your sat nav system when you exit your car. You should either take your sat nav with you or lock it in the boot. It is also advisable to make a record of the make and serial number and mark the system with your postcode using an ultra violet pen. By doing this your device can be more easily traced if stolen. Drivers are also advised to remove the sucker-markings from their windscreen or dashboard. Another tip is not to store your full home address under the HOME waypoint in case the thief has stolen your keys and can gain access to your home too!
