Is Gps A Boon Or A Bane To Us

Most of you must have used GPS technology at some point of time. But what exactly is GPS? GPS or Global Positioning System is a satellite-based navigation system that transmits and receives radio signals. These signals are obtained by a GPS receiver to give you live information.

Though GPS was originally developed for military purposes, it is now used in several non-military applications. The GPS technology is of tremendous help to the military forces and has become indispensible in almost every single military operation and weapons system.

Besides military, there are many practical uses that make it such an integral part of our day-to-day lives. Today, this technology finds its application in various fields, like science, transportation, communication, and much more. The GPS navigation system has several uses in vehicle tracking, mapping, and even rescue operations.

If you are off on a long drive you can save your time and energy with this system, which can help you plan your drive in such a way that you reach your destination in the shortest possible time by using the possible shortest route. The GPS technology also plays a vital role in disaster management system during natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes. This way, GPS technology even helps save lives.

But there are two sides to every coin. So before you come to a conclusion, there are some disadvantages as well that should be considered. The most important factor is the price. The device is quite expensive and if you settle for a “bargain GPS”, you may have to compromise on some features. Then there is the reception, which is poor in some places. In certain models, the maps are not updated in real time, which creates a lot of problems while traveling.

Even with all these shortcomings, the positive aspects far outweigh the negative ones and the GPS technology is definitely a boon.

Travel Honey? Really?

If it wasn’t for the lame “travel honey” name this product would almost be perfect. It is 4 in 1 device that acts as a 1) GPS receiver for your laptop, 2) location finder to track back to a set point, 3) photo tagger with software, and 4) data logger for GPS tracking.

It is currently out of stock at this online wholesale site that is willing to sell retail for only $54.

The above images demonstrates how “travel honey” directs you back to your car. The only thing you have to do to record your car’s position is to press a button for two seconds so it can record its GPS coordinates when you’re ready to head back home… via
