The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a constellation of satellites
that broadcast signals that can be used to determine accurate location
coordinates. Originally developed by the US Department of Defense,
GPS today is appearing in a variety of devices including in-car
navigation systems, mobile phones, wristwatches, and handheld PDAs
such as Palm Pilots. It is already an indispensable tool for hikers,
boaters, aviators, farmers and rescue workers.

According to the US Commerce Department, GPS represents a $10 billion
growth industry with worldwide receiver sales expected to exceed $12
billion in 2002. According to Allied Business Intelligence, the world
market for GPS equipment will stand at $34 billion by 2006. Recent
trends show the unit cost of receivers is falling approximately 30%
per year and new, low-cost computer chips are expected to drive the
costs down even further. GPS Registry has a list of such low-cost
devices at http://www.GPSRegisty.com/devices.php

As GPS combines with new technologies like mobile phones, digital
cameras, and automobiles, more and more people will look to the
GPSRegistry.com community for one-of-a-kind personal stories and
