Purchase Verification Steps
Before ordering, customers should:
- Confirm GPS unit model number (found in device settings menu or printed on unit label)
- Check current firmware version (may require update before new map card functions)
- Verify SD card slot specifications (SDHC vs SDXC compatibility)
- Review map region requirements (ensure purchased coverage matches travel needs)
- Confirm vehicle compatibility for factory-installed systems (VIN-specific in some cases)
The site’s compatibility checker automates these verification steps when customers input their GPS model or vehicle information.
When to Consider Alternatives
Navi-World.com focuses specifically on SD card-based navigation systems. Customers using GPS units with internal storage (no SD slot), smartphone-based navigation, or systems requiring USB map updates should verify product compatibility or explore alternative update methods through manufacturer direct-purchase programs.
The retailer does not stock accessories like GPS mounts, power cables, or traffic receiver hardware. Customers requiring these items need separate suppliers for complete navigation system setup.
Compatibility Verification: Always confirm your GPS model number and current firmware version before purchasing navigation SD cards. Contact [email protected] with specific compatibility questions about your device.
