Repeat cycle timer fights GPS freeze-up

The last thing any traveler needs is a GPS freeze, especially in the frozen north. Whether driving an 18-wheeler or powering through in a snow machine, intrepid drivers are using the Airotronics TGKAD to send an automatic reset to their nav systems. Truckers can take a rest or break for a blizzard without losing data, and –just as important in intense cold– without drawing down the vehicle battery.
