Some GPS products come with a built in digital camera that allows you to photograph the place you are at and then add it to your map. Next time you wish to visit that place you just tap the image and the Satellite Navigation system plots a route. This is great if you don’t want to have to remember street names.

Phone book capacity (names)	1000 + SIM
A phone’s phone book capacity indicates how many contact details it can store. Many modern phones come with optional memory cards that can be used to store extra contacts.
