Why I Like gps tracker

The whole point behind GPS navigation is knowing where you are, but planning where you want to go is also a large part of the technology's appeal. To help with both, but especially the planning, you can buy high-quality maps from a variety of sources and at a range of prices. You have several choices for digital map supplements, depending on your needs and your budget. Land Info (prices vary; www.landinfo.com) provides detailed coverage for the United States (and many parts of the world) with several map types, while Gecko Software (www.gecko-sw.com) specializes in low cost aerial topographical and wetlands maps. You can get trail maps of just about any area of the United States, as well, and even free versions from sites such as TopoZone (www.topozone.com). If you're traveling in Canada, check out Map Town (www.maptown.com), with it numerous topographical maps.

Categorize same-name favorites by store number...If you name two Favorites the same name in a StreetPilot, what will happen is that it will append the name with a 1, 2, 3 and so on. So if you save a favorite as "7-Eleven", then name another one the same name, the second will be "7-Eleven 1". For same-name favorites that are stores, I use the store number. You can find the store number on any receipt from that store. Alternatively you can use a store finder, such as the one from Wal-Mart, that will list store numbers up front. Title your favorites with same names with the store number after that, such as Wal-Mart 2740. When you need to find that favorite later, you can just search for 2740 instead of punching in all the letters.

Qualcomm's Vision of the Wireless Future "When he finished, there were 20 brand-new, CDMA-based mobile handsets and devices arrayed on the table, the high-tech souvenirs of Belk's most recent trip to Hong Kong and Japan.... 'These are not PowerPoint slides,' Belk said. 'These are real devices that are already shipping in volume in Asia.' " at Business 2.0]

And there's the rub. When I do my presentations, that's all I have - pictures of prototypes or of devices not available in the U.S. Europe and Asia really are 18 months ahead of us in this area.

"Beale also discussed Qualcomm's gpsOne location technology.... It also opens the door for many new location-based services, such as traffic information and local weather forecasts. On Japan KDDI's network, there are already more than 20 location-based services available -- all of which are relatively inexpensive, costing less than $5 per month."

I'm looking forward to being able to travel and have information come to me automatically based on my location. For example, if I'm at a conference and I'm looking for a restaurant, I'd like my phone/PDA/whatever to know where I am and offer a list of nearby choices. Maybe it should tell me what movies or plays are on tonight and if there are still tickets available. You get the idea....

"Predictably, both Belk and Beale anticipate strong growth for the wireless industry as ever-more-compelling products and services become available and the industry settles on a single communication standard. How long will that take? Belk, whose career began in the personal computing business in 1983, likened the wireless industry today to the PC business of the 1980s. 'I wouldn't worry about the wireless industry yet, it's still relatively young,' he said. 'Just look how long it took the PC industry just to get to the point of standardized parallel cables.' "

Not to beat a dead horse, but the ebook industry is even younger than PCs, and PDAs have really only come into their own during the last few years. So don't count any of these technologies out just yet.

Write Here, Write Now: And you thought you were overloaded with information now, just wait. Hewlett Packard is working on a technology to let folks print messages in mid-air based on their location incorporating GPS technology. I find this stuff fascinating, even if no one seems to have thought of a good use for it yet. The first sentence of the article is right, though: "The kids are going to love this." in New Scientist via RCPL's Liblog]

When the ALA summer conference was in San Francisco in 1997, the SF Museum of Modern Art had a fascinating exhibit called Icons: Magnets of Meaning. I spent hours browsing through it, but one of the pieces that has always stuck in my mind was called @: Marking the Electrosphere . It talked about the meaning of that one little symbol. How it can define, place, and root you in the world, but at the same time let you be found anywhere. Integrated, widespread use of GPS is going to take this to a whole new level.
