Google's Next Big Thing...?

It will be pretty funny if, at least initially, Google relies on iPhone users to provide traffic congestion data. IE, using our phone's speed through traffic to determine where there are slowdowns. If so, I hope they also offer the navigation app to us. I, for one, welcome our Google overlords!

New celestial map gives directions for GPS

GPS satellites send signals to a receiver which calculates your position based on the location of the satellites and your distance from them. The system works well, and millions rely on it every day, but what tells the GPS satellites where they are in the first place?  A three-year effort to update and improve the precision of the celestial map, the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF), was recently completed and officially recognized as the fundamental reference system by the IAU in August, 2009.-- EurekAlert!

GPSユニットキット

昨日の撮影の際、SONYのハンディGPSを忘れていたことに気付いた。
GPSのログを収集してくれるだけでなく、SDカードやメモリースティックを入れると自動的に日付と時間帯から写真に位置情報をマッチングさせてくれる機能を持っています。

あまり使う機会がないときに限って忘れてしまうんですよね。
なので次からは忘れないようにバッグに備え付けておこう。
