GPS or Global Positioning Systems is a very common term. Magellan® is the consumer brand of Thales Navigation, one of the world’s leading innovators of navigation and positioning solutions with operations worldwide. Magellan was the brand that introduced the first consumer handheld GPS solution in 1989, and it has maintained its place as a leading global GPS brand for consumers.
There are many applications of Global Positioning Systems beyond GPS vehicle tracking or map navigation that everyday people can benefit from. All it takes is a bit of creativity, and some trial and error. Here are a few of the many possibilities that can benefit you right now in your busy and hectic life.
1. Plan a road trip around interesting points of interests, landmarks, campsites, diners, etc, and hear fewer “Are we there yets?”- and of course get the most out of that expensive gas.
2. Get emergency road side assistance at a touch of a button from your vehicle, so you can get help exactly where and when you need it. If the manufacturer does not provide this with a dealer installed system, after market installations may require a monthly fee.
3. Keep a visual journal and bookmark collection of your favorite hot spots, sceneries, and points of interests, that may not be listed in any travel guide (You can create your own mini travel guides and memories).
4. Get to your interview, or any important time sensitive destination or engagement, faster by finding shortcuts and correct directions.
5. Find a good Italian restaurant near your movie theatre on the fly.
