It is not a stretch in any sense of the word to say that GPS is one of THE hottest technologies around these days.  The innovations being made in the industry (*cough*WHERE*cough*) coupled with the increasing availability are making devices and the service itself one of the most important new trends to inundate the market.  Start playing around with it and you’ll see exactly why.

Knowing this, what are you to do if you Do wish to jump into the market and get yourself either a GPS enabled cell phone, maybe say one that runs WHERE, or a portable GPS device for yourself of vehicle?  Well, I’m glad you asked.  You can either call around to every electronics store you can possibly think of, OR, read this handy little guide I found over at PC World that offers up some helpful and friendly tips to get you started.  Who doesn’t like helpful and friendly, I mean come on?

According to the article:

“Today’s navigation tool, the portable GPS device, can do things that paper maps are incapable of, such as automatically showing your precise location anywhere on the globe, providing precise turn-by-turn instructions on how to drive from any Point A to any Point B, identifying where the nearest gas and coffee outlets are, and warning you when traffic problems make a detour highly advisable. It’s like having a localized MapQuest right on your dashboard or in your pocket.”

I couldn’t have said it better myself!  Now, head over and read their advice, get some knowledge on the tech, and then heed this simple piece of advice from me…WHERE and our WHERE GPS Widgets allow you to do all the things portable GPS devices allow you to do, including finding those traffic detours, those coffee shops and those “Point A to any Point B” turn by turn directions…All from your cell phone.  Beyond rad friends.  Beyond rad.
