-GPS can also be used to track various things such as trucks, objects, and even people. There are numerous fleet tracking devices available. These devices are able to track the location of fleet vehicles, record speed, record stops, and also record mileage. Most devices claim real time updates these updates actually range from five minutes to as short as every ten seconds. Some of these devices have a monthly fee that go along with the service. In 1999 the FCC mandated that all cell phones should be GPS capable. Since then cellular phone companies have been able to assist the police in tracking people if they go missing and instances of that nature. Cellular service providers can also allow parents to track children through cell phones. Verizon Wireless calls this service Chaperone. Through either a website or the “parent chaperone” phone a parent can track the location of there child. Parents can also set up zones where they are notified if a child enters or leaves the predetermined zone.[https://chaperone.vzw.com] If you are a pet lover then you might want to look into getting a GPS tracking unit for your cat or dog. GPS tracking of pets is very similar to GPS tracking of children. A small modem is attached to the animal’s collar. When the animal leaves a predetermined area the owner gets a message, with the locale of their pet, on their cell phone or computer.[http://cats.about.com/b/2004/07/20/gps-tracking-of-lost-pets.htm]

 Today GPS can be used to find the quickest way around a traffic jam or to find what time that new movie is playing and of course help you to find your way if you get lost. No more road atlas lying in the back seat or in the trunk. No more trying to figure out how to refold the maps so it can be returned to the glove box. GPS makes navigating to a new place in an automobile easy and fun.

 GPS receivers for car use are similar to handheld units used for camping with a few exceptions. Car receivers are portable just like those used for camping, but they are not ruggedized, meaning car receivers are not water resistant and will not take the same kind of abuse that a GPS receiver designed for outdoor use would. Car receivers also have larger screens and are more likely to have full maps instead of just co-ordinates. The larger screen makes battery life much shorter for car receivers because of this car receivers can be plugged into cigarette lighters. Car receivers also have more features like audio directions, built in MP3 player, local gas prices, weather forecasts, and even local movie times. Car receivers vary largely price. They have a range of $150-$750. The top competitors in this market are currently Garmin and Tom Tom.
-Another option when traveling is the use of Bluetooth GPS for a PDA or laptop computer. Many PDA’s on the market have GPS applications and are capable of many of the feature mentioned previously. Laptops can also use the Bluetooth technology in order to become a GPS receiver. The laptop option is frowned upon by many because it can be a greater distraction while driving and can cause unsafe situations.
