In the world of GPS systems, it seems there is no such thing as too small or too fast. GPS units are changing so quickly these days, each unit getting smaller and faster. It seems consumers demand increasingly smaller and faster global positioning units.

There is no longer an excuse for running out of gas and being late for a meeting due to that. Use your auto GPS unit to find the nearest gas station wherever you are. Find yourself in an unexpected traffic jam? These systems are excellent at routing you around the mess and getting you back on your way to your destination.

Day-long work seminars out of town have got to be one of managements pet peeves. A GPS unit can take some of the stress out of those situations. You can use your GPS to find the coffee shop you prefer, or the restaurant you want, and stay self sufficient. It is great to not be late for any part of the day and not have to ask everyone for directions. You can almost feel like a local as you travel around an unfamiliar destination.

Hiking and camping just got a whole lot safer with the latest generation of affordable hand held GPS units. Every outdoor enthusiast should have a hand held GPS. Always find your way back to base camp and thereby keep safe. Join the fun and take up geocaching, too! More and more hikers and campers are able to carry these units as they are getting more affordable and more feature-rich with each new version.

There seems to be no end to the consumer application of GPS technology to gadgets. Some people seem to be addicted to gadgets and so they are collecting all kinds of GPS electronics gadgets and systems. If you have thought of a new use for GPS, an engineer is most likely already drawing out the plans. GPS applications just continue to expand.

The cellular phone combined with GPS capabilities is by far the best-selling combination GPS product available today. Why did the iPod 3G get so popular so fast? Due to its use of GPS, mobile phone, and the ability to use the internet, all in one hand held unit. Wonder what will be next?

The entire sport of fishing has changed due to Fish Finders. Fish finders are increasing in popularity. These units use sonar signals to locate fish under or next to a boat. And of course you can get the GPS coordinates of your location to remember that great new spot for next time.

Golf is also being changed by the GPS revolution. The affordable, hand held GPS range finders are getting very popular now and many golfers now say they would never golf without one again. I still think there is a large segment of golfers who would rather do things the old-fashioned way, and you will never get them to buy one of the GPS golf rangefinders.

Ignoring the GPS revolution will not cause it to go away. Give up, give in, and try out one of the newest GPS gadgets.
