Global Positioning Systems — or GPS as it is commonly known — are now becoming more affordable, with entry-level units such as those from Trimble starting at €1,100 plus VAT. Depending on the type of antenna used, the levels of accuracy vary from 15-30cm.
There are also subscriber GPS units available with ground-based correction to improve the accuracy. These systems use fixed or mobile Real Time Kinematic stations or mobile phone masts to improve accuracy down to 2cm. For most agricultural applications, however, the free GPS service provides a sufficient level of accuracy.
Dairy farmer Aidan Murphy farms between Enniscorthy and Wexford town. Between milkings, Aidan is an IT expert and computer repair guru. After attending the FTMTA Show, Aidan bought the CaseIH-branded version of the Trimble EZ-Guide 250 from his local CaseIH dealer. Continue reading GPS technology enable you to know the way easily
Selling mobile phones and phone accessories through an internet online shop is one of the most economical or cost-efficient ways of running a business. Because the store is online, overhead costs are reduced significantly. Vendors don’t need to invest heavily on a stock of units; there is no need to rent storage nor selling space for the items; furthermore, there is no need to pay utilities and wages. An online mobile phone and accessories store can operate from one’s home and the items purchased from suppliers only when orders are confirmed.
The success of an online mobile phone and accessories store depends mainly on the reliability of the site’s web hosting provider. A site that is always down; does not supply enough images; and has insufficient information is a major no no. Potential customers will be just buy their units elsewhere. To to make sure that a web host you want reliable and well worth the subscription fees, it is wise to refer to web host reviews.
Web host reviews, such as the Blue Host Review, are independently run websites that rate the general services of web hosts. Through theses reviews, customers are able to see how other customers rate their experience with the said provider (on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the highest) and also read their feedback on the services received from this firm. Host reviews make finding a reliable web host for websites ranging from personal pages to more online stores and portals a whole lot easier
Smartphone processors are getting faster and smaller, memory gets bigger and they become ever more integrated into our lives. In 2011, for the first time, Smartphones outsold mobile phones and Smartphone and Tablet sales exceeded desktop and notebook sales. The majority of Internet access is now done on mobile devices rather than desktop or static devices.
So what does this mean for the existing or soon-to-be Smartphone user? What else can we expect to see the Smartphone, which is essentially a computer that can make/take calls rather than a phone that can surf the web, do in the next four or five years?

Technology giant Google is once more trying to corner more of the social shopping market by buying The Dealmap, a 15-month-old company that offers its own location-based daily deal service. Menlo Park, Calif.-based The Dealmap collects data from hundreds of sources and arranges deals by location, on its website and a smartphone application. The start-up, founded last year, has 15 employees and 2 million users, according to published reports.
Google tried to buy Groupon for as much as $6 billion last year, and decided to launch its own service, Google Offers, in Portland. Google’s service has since expanded to New York and the San Francisco Bay Area. Google has made many moves into the location business in the last two years. It is trying to grab a large share of the European traffic market by offering real-time services in 13 European companies. Google shook up the navigation market with free navigation service for Android phones in 2009.

“Something else was happening when these commercially available GPS-enabled gadgets started hitting the larger population—something more fundamental. Instead of lifting our heads, looking around, and thinking for ourselves, some of us no longer saw the world as human beings have for thousands of years and simply accepted whatever our gadgets showed us,” writes Robert Vamosi in his new book “When Gadgets Betray Us: The Dark Side of our Infatuation with New Technologies.”
In turn, Nick is one of those guys who doesn’t like maps or taking travel directions; however, his wife Candy got Nick a GPS navigation device for their van before taking this trip to the central Oregon coast from their home in central Washington. In turn, the fastidious and fact-checking Candy says she “loves GPS,” but Nick is not so keen, stating “I hate to rely on a machine during my summer vacation. I want to get away from that stuff, and now I’m listening to this voice tell me where to go when maybe I want to explore that road without some voice telling me I’m going the wrong way.”

Australians are so dependent on their mobile phones that many of us feel disconnected with the world when we accidentally leave it at home. Sure, our phone may have woken us up in the morning with a built-in alarm, but we spend the rest of the day missing out on Twitter updates, a Facebook fix, and possibly even forgetting a lunch date without our phone calendars. Heck, some of us may even have online Scrabble withdrawals and feel anguish when we have to take a break from throwing animated birds at animated pigs.
Mobile phones play such a huge part in our day-to-day lives that advancements in app technology are taken, largely, for granted. Rewind to 1981 however, and things were very different. Car phones that resembled bricks – both in weight and size – were breaking ground, so to speak. For then 21-year-old graduate engineer Mike Wright it was exciting.

A wide-ranging US study has found no conclusive evidence that using a hands-free phone system while driving is any less dangerous than talking on a hand-held device. The Governors Highway Safety Association study analysed more than 350 scientific papers on distracted driving published between 2000 and 2011.
From the research, it concluded that drivers are no less distracted when using hands-free than when talking on a hand-held phone. It did, however, report that texting while driving is most likely riskier than simply talking on the phone.
Despite the increased level of distraction, the study also found that in dangerous driving situations, the average driver paid less attention to their phone conversation and focused more on the road, bringing their level of concentration close to that of a driver who was not using a phone.

u-blox announced last week a new firmware its latest GPS receiver platform u-blox 6 that brings improved sensitivity, lower power consumption, jamming detection and shorter Time To First Fix (TTFF).
The new firmware delivers an improved tracking sensitivity down to -162 dBm with enhanced acquisition and re-acquisition sensitivity.
Other new features include AssistNow Autonomous. The concept reduces time-to-first-fix by capitalizing on the periodic nature of GPS satellites, allowing the GPS receiver to autonomously predict satellite positions based on previously captured ephemeris.

The statistics clearly show the dangers of texting while driving:
- One US study found that drivers are eight times more likely to be involved in an accident while texting, and that texting while driving is equivalent to driving under the influence of four shots of alcohol
- The National Safety Council in the US estimated 28 percent of all American vehicle accidents – or 1.6 million per year – are related to mobile phone distraction, and texting is believed to be responsible for between three and 18 percent of the total
- A 2006 study by the Monash University Accident Research Centre into the effects of text messaging while driving on young people found that the time drivers spent with their eyes off the road increased by up to 400 percent when sending and receiving messages
- A poll by Telstra at the beginning of this year found that almost one third of Australian drivers admitted to sending and receiving texts while behind the wheel.

According to a recent police study, GPS satellite navigation systems have caused a spike in road accidents due to drivers paying attention to the guidance rather than the road. The study says GPS devices distract drivers in a similar way to mobile phones.
New South Wales Police traffic boss John Hartley said in a recent News Ltd report that drivers who were confused about directions from such devices often caused accidents in trying to understand the guidance, instead of safely pulling over to double-check.
“In recent times, we have seen crashes and near misses involving drivers who rely only on the information provided by their GPS device,” Mr Hartley said.
