For the directionally challenged people who can never find their way from point A to point B without maps, compasses and personal assistance, a GPS system can change your lives. Never again will you call someone to say that you are lost. A GPS unit is the most reliable navigator and map-reader that you will ever need.
You can even dump all of those unwieldy maps from the glove compartment and rejoice at your newfound freedom. GPS devices have been around for a number of years but it has only been within the past 5 years that the technology has improved to the user-friendly style we know today.
In the late 90s when the firs GPS hand held systems were being marketed, the devices were large and ungainly. The technology was in its infancy and the mapping was dealing more with showing you latitudes and longitudes. There were lines showing various highways but little information was available to help you understand what you were seeing.

With the speed at which the roadways are changing these days, paper maps are more inaccurate than ever. GPS navigation systems may be unaware of construction or traffic jams, but they can quickly come up with an alternative route, in most cases.
Your trucks or your drivers may already be making use of some RFID technology. Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags are being used to pay tolls and complete other transactions.
The pallets on your trucks may have RFID tags. The US Department of Defense and some large retailers are now requiring their vendors to tag all of their pallet items with these ID tags. It makes it easier for the recipient to receive the items into their inventories.
