A GPS can make or break a good day in the bush or anywhere for that matter.I currently own a Garmin GPSMAP76 handheld and I find that it is one of...more
According to market research firm iSuppli, portable navigation devices (PND) is the technology companies have recently been the most popular one of the products, but now has entered a period of slower growth, prompting the entire supply chain of companies to re-evaluate their business model. After several years of double-digit and even triple-digit expansion, the global PND shipments in 2009 are projected in 2008 fell 0.7%. In the next four...more
The GPS system is increasingly becoming the standard means of synchronising time on computers and computer networks. This article introduces GPS time and its use in NTP time servers for computer network timing systems.The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a US military system for global navigation and positioning. It is widely used in civilian applications for marine location and car navigation systems. The system itself consists of 24 orbiting satellites arranged in a uniform constellation orbiting the Earth. Each satellite broadcasts accurate time and positioning information that can be used to calculate precise positioning information anywhere on the face of the planet.Very precise time is a fundamental element of the GPS system. Each orbiting satellite has a highly accurate atomic clock on board synchronised to a master clock at the US Naval Observatory (USNO). Very precise time is required to triangulate a position on earth. Positioning accuracy is directly related to the accuracy of the timing systems of the satellites in orbit. The timing component can be also be used to provide highly accurate time for the synchronisation of computers and computer networks.GPS has a number...more
A GPS system is a great way for transportation companies to track the use of their vehicles, and become aware of suspicious and questionable driving techniques.

Author: Tom GruichWith GPS, RFID and a little fleet tracking software, your business can operate at the utmost efficiency. Your deliveries can be made on time and there will never be any question of where your company’s assets are at any given moment.RFID (radio-frequency identification) tags can be ordered in sizes small enough to fit in inconspicuous places on all of your company vehicles. Most companies stick them on the windshield, because metal parts can reduce the distance from which the tags can be read.If your trucks operate on toll roads, they may already have RFID tags in place for automatically paying tolls. You can’t make use of those tags for keeping track of your vehicles, but it is just an example of where the technology has been used in the past. Where the technology is going, no one knows. Big companies are working on a number of applications.As far as GPS systems go, you and your drivers may already be using them. Navigation systems are hooked into the global navigation satellite system. The latest ones are easy to use and accurate. They can provide turn-by-turn directions and make immediate compensations when a vehicle veers off of the...more
