We All Need a GPS
The electronics dictionary defines the Global Positioning System (GPS) as a space-based global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that provides reliable location and time information in all weather and at all times and anywhere on or near the Earth when and where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. It is maintained by the United States government and is freely accessible by anyone with a GPS receiver. If you got that, we can now consider just who needs a GPS system. In a word EVERYONE! Now that the price of gas is once again creeping up to an unreasonably high level, few of us can afford to waste gas driving in circles trying to figure out the best route to our destination. That’s the most common usage, let’s take a look at some of the less well known applications: Know where your children are at all time – give them a GPS watch for Christmas. Know where your pets have wandered off to – exchange the diamond studded or spiked collar for a GPS pet tracking transmitter device.
If your idea of fun is heading out on your motorcycle in no specific direction with no clear destination, then the stainless steel u-bolt mount designed for your handheld is the item you need.
Never get lost on the golf course again. Always know where you are and what’s coming up next, especially how to find the 19th hole.
Enhance your hiking experience for both you and your family members with the Garmin Dakota 20 or for more experience hikers, the Oregon 550 – both with touch screen.
For skiing and snowboarding, create a safer experience and become visible to the members of your party by wearing a satellite GPS messenger.
Keep your grandparents out of harm’s way, and avoid them having to get directions from strangers. They will greatly appreciate it and so will the rest of the family.
Finally, if you enjoy biking, you’ll love the handle bar mount for your hand held GPS receiver.
No matter what you find yourself doing, where you’re going or how you’re travelling, there is a GPS designed just for you. Once you begin using your system, you’ll wonder how you ever managed to live without it.
