You don’t always need to have a GPS unit to navigate without problems. Well, at least, you don’t need to have an additional one. If your current cellphone includes support for GPS, like Motorola i710, i730, i736, i830 and ii860 you can download a Java application which will guide you to your destination.
British government is testing a technology that uses GPS to get current location and local speed limit to disallow going faster than allowed. Although we don’t think it’s safe to go over the speed limit, we also doubt that it’s safe to use this kind of limitators, as it might be necessary sometimes to get some additional speed to avoid an accident.
WashingtonPost is reporting that many GPS makers are adding features not related with GPS to make their systems stand out from the competition. So, more and more GPS systems can play MP3 files, videos, photos, can act as Bluetooth hands-free device or include hard disk drives to store movies or music.
