The diversity of Satnav (Satellite Navigation)

Whisper the words "satellite navigation" and your thoughts will be instantly on a device to guide the speech and the joyous display driver in his tribulations on the road in Europe. A device that fits naturally on your dashboard and you led brilliantly from point A to point B.
However, the Global Positioning System (GPS), which is the source of navigation GPS autonomous development in space by the United States has now reached such a pitch in advance and this level of detail that it comes in a range of gadgets beyond imagination, as well as to create unlimited possibilities for guiding the search for distance off the tee on a golf course to the location of a can of beans at the supermarket .
 It is amazing to see the considerable extent of this whole range of new uses, which leads us to explore some of these uses:
The monitoring of pets: Curiosity did put the cat in an incongruous situation, or that damn dog he deserted without permission? The miniaturization of receivers GPS satellite modems and mobile phones even allows pets to transport apparatus for their master to keep track. By placing a transmitter and a receiver in the collar of your pet, you can follow his every move (source http://www.gps-practice-and-fun.com/gps-pet-tracking.html ).
Navigation course: This technology, considered to be ethically questionable to some, and other innovative advantage, now allows players to obtain accurate distance measurements on the golf course without having to read books or course search guides. You can download the details of most courses in the world and receive highly detailed information on the land. This will not improve your satnav but can give you that extra bit of information that will allow you to extend their lead against an opponent with whom you are neck and neck.
Locate themselves in supermarkets: Researchers are working on a device to help seniors find their way through the shelves, the arrangement is constantly changing. This development is part of the research on new uses of digital technology funded by the British government to help the elderly and the disabled.The spoke arrangement is different every day, a device for locating items would reassure all those who lack confidence in them in a supermarket (Source: The Telegraph). This is one example among many of the assistance GPS information can provide in areas other than driving.
Through the innovative use of satnav and constant and continuous development of technology, we will see the introduction of tracking devices in more places and practical use of GPS in more unusual places.The possibilities are amazing - the loss of items she will become a thing of the past?
More seriously, the researchers have integrated satnav kit health for people living in the country to monitor the location of the patient, his heart rate and breathing as well as its temperature. The data is then sent to the doctor by a wireless link. Another idea: a kitchen bristling with sensors, projectors and electronics hidden in order to restore their independence in daily to patients with Alzheimer's disease (Source: Daily Mail). Satnav can also be used to track people in emergency situations and provide valuable information on their location in critical moments. GPS systems with advanced interactive features such as GPS voice can also be integrated into alarm systems.
So next time you define your route, remember that this same technology that allows you to go home is also implemented in guiding the golf balls, saved pets and monitoring cans, and is promised to a rich future.
