The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that provides reliable location and time information in all weather and at all times and anywhere on or near the Earth when and where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. It is maintained by the United States government and is freely accessible by anyone with a GPS receiver.
Now that we know what it is, let's consider just who needs a GPS system. In a word EVERYONE! Now that the price of gas is once again creeping up to an unreasonably high level, few of us can afford to waste gas driving in circles trying to figure out the best route to our destination. That's just the most common usage, digging deeper, we find it is also good to:
Keep your grandparents out of harm's way, and avoid them having to get directions from strangers. They will greatly appreciate it and so will the rest of the family.

Keep track of your pets - exchange the diamond studded or spiked collar for a GPS pet tracking transmitter device.

Keep track your children - give them a GPS watch for Christmas.

Never get lost on the golf course again. Always know where you are and what's coming up next, especially how to find the 19th hole.
Enhance your hiking experience for both you and your family members with the Garmin Dakota 20 or for more experience hikers, the Oregon 550 - both with touch screen.

For skiing and snowboarding, create a safer experience and become visible to the members of your party by wearing a satellite GPS messenger.

If your idea of fun is heading out on your motorcycle in no specific direction with no clear destination, then the stainless steel u-bolt mount designed for your handheld is the item you need.

Lastly, if you enjoy biking, you'll love the handle bar mount for your hand held GPS receiver.

Despite what you find yourself doing, where you're going or how you're travelling, there is a GPS designed just for you. Once you begin using your system, you'll wonder how you ever managed your life before.
