The evolution of portable GPS systems has made road trips a much more pleasant experience than they were even ten years ago. No driver wants to get lost and most drivers do not want to stop and ask for directions. With a GPS system, it is now possible to get into the car and start driving before knowing how to find your destination.
GPS Technology: One Decade AgoAlthough GPS units have not been around long, the technology has undergone many wonderful changes. Just a few years ago, a basic GPS unit would show users a map and pinpoint their location and possibly flag a second location. The units arrived pre-programmed and could not be updated. This created a need for the unit to be replaced in the event of major road construction projects, but most people found even the basic technology to be helpful.
GPS Technology: TodayGPS technology has far surpassed those initial systems. Today, road trips are much improved as a result. Now, a GPS system can not only pinpoint your location, they can also tell you where to find food, hotels or gas. They can point you to the nearest hospital or beach. And perhaps most important to drivers, GPS units are now able to warn you about road construction delays, accidents or rush hour traffic.
GPS Technology: What the Future HoldsMany cars now come with integrated GPS systems and in the future, it is likely that every car will have one. As more information becomes accessible through GPS units, they will be come even more valuable on road trips and your every day commute.
GPS technology is much less expensive than when it first appeared on the consumer market and the technological developments have definitely made units more useful and cost-effective. With GPS technology, you get on the road faster and reach your destination on time.
