This truly global cell phone GPS system allows AT&T customers to use their GPS-enabled AT&T phones to navigate with GPS all around the world. Dog gadgets abound, including dog GPS, and an automatic feeder with a built-in webcam. You can also get dog sunglasses, a special doorbell door chime for your dog, an electronic dog day planner, and, I kid you not, a dog treadmill. Oh, and let's not forget the dog pedometer to go with that treadmill. Gang members in San Bernardino county are being banded with GPS tags, in an effort to track paroled gang members to make sure that they don't go back to their old stomping ground and have contact with other members of their gang. Ah, good plan. Because we all know that there is an impermeable wall around gang territories, and the parolee's old cronies can't possibly leave that area to go meet them somewhere else. Wow, that was fast! It was barely a week ago that we predicted the convergence of GPS and Internet on cell phones and it leading to location-based push advertising to your cell phone, and now Nokia has announced (well, leaked, really) that they plan to have full navigation GPS on all Nokia cell phones. Here is my prediction: the next big thing from the Internet advertising point of view is going to be this: the convergence of always-on Internet and GPS in one device. Internet and GPS convergence. For my birthday this year I received the Garmin Nuvi GPS, and I have to tell you that this portable GPS is the ultimate in mobile GPS systems! This small handheld GPS navigation unit can fit in your pocket or attach to a beanbag based stand (which molds to fit any place in your car or wherever else you want to put it), has the clearest screen of any I've seen, fantastic maps (3d or flat view), will instantly show you a list of all of the restaurants, gas stations, and such in the area wherever you are. But the best part about the Garmin Nuvi GPS is that it's spoken directions make sense! Now I understand why all the GPS reviews give this Garmin portable GPS system such high praise! Verizon Chaperone, T-Mobile kidConnect, and Disney Mobile all offer cell phones for kids, and cell service for children. But are they really necessarly, or just one more way to let parents feel better about having their kids out of their view, and not with care givers they trust. The Sprint Family Locator is a new service being offered by Sprint that allows you to track up to four family phones via their GPS coordinates. Rental car GPS is suppose to be a perk which comes with renting certain cars. But one couple who relied on an Avis rental car GPS were lucky to survive the ordeal. Cell phone tracking via GPS and location privacy is starting to emerge as a big issue, especially with more GPS enabled cell phones on the market. e911 rules require that your cell phone transmit your location data when you make a 911 call. But some people are finding that their GPS cell phones are transmitting their location all the time. TeenArriveAlive and CarChip are technologies designed to keep your teen safe behind the wheel by allowing you to remotely monitor their every driving move. Using GPS location in one case, and inviting strangers to report on the child's driving in another, TeenArriveAlive and CarChip are sure to be controversial. The Wherify Wherifone offers a simple pre-programmed cell phone with a built-in GPS locator, so that you can keep track of your child, grandmother, or employee. GPS Goes Cellular for Off-Road Adventures SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 17 /PRNewswire/ -- You know about Global Positioning System (GPS) in vehicles. You have a cell phone. Now your cell phone can use GPS to guide you through the great outdoors. ... RFIDs embedded in your U.S. passport, encoded with your identity, and able to be read at a distance? GPS devices mandated by law, installed in every single new car, so that the state can monitor your every movement and tax you based on the milage you drive? It's not 1984, the Sequel. It's 2004, the Reality. Both of these measures seem likely before the end of 2005. |
