GPS Phones

Prices for GPS circuitry are falling, so more and more devices can integrate GPS functionality. Typically, GPS devices have been standalone devices designed to slap on a dashboard or fit in a hand, and they have some map technology to help you get to your destination.

Here's a video that shows a Nokia N95 with integrated GPS. Since your phone knows where it is, you can send your coordinates to someone else. Instead of having lots of small conversations like, "Hey, I'm under the umbrella," or "If you're at 12th Street, you went too far," your friends can find you at your current longitude and latitude.



Integrated with the Internet, GPS technology can help you find stores, restaurants, taxis ... practically anything you might need. And they can find you.
