Overcoming Blind Spot Challenges On The Eid Homecoming Route

JAKARTA - In the midst of euphoria and the joy of welcoming the Eid homecoming season, travelers are often faced with unexpected challenges, one of which is blind spots along their journey.

Blind spots, or areas without cellular signals, can be an annoying experience for travelers who rely on their smartphones for navigation, communication, and entertainment during travel. However, with some smart strategies, these challenges can be overcome well.

Downloading navigation apps and offline maps before departure is a wise move. The app will still work even without an internet connection, allowing drivers to remain oriented in areas that do not have cellular signals.

Alternatively, drivers can use an emergency call system to contact authorities or emergency services if needed. Although this is not a long-term solution, it can provide a sense of security and comfort during the trip.

Make sure you have an emergency communication plan with your friends or family outside of the trip. Determine the meeting point or regular call schedule to notify them of the progress of your trip in the event of a signal loss.

If possible, try to find alternative routes that have better signal coverage. Sometimes, choosing a different route can be a temporary solution to avoid blind spots.

Consider using an external signal or antenna booster if you travel frequently in areas with weak signals. This can help increase signal strength in areas affected by blind spots.

Conventional radio can be a useful alternative in situations where cellular signals are not available. Make sure you have a functioning radio and spare battery to listen to the latest information and entertain yourself during the trip.

By taking these steps, it is hoped that drivers can overcome blind spot challenges better during the Lebaran homecoming trip. Although technology may fail occasionally, safety and comfort remain the top priority on the trip
