More and more tourism outfits are getting on the GPS technology bandwagon and renting ‘GPS Tours’ and I’m not convinced that it’s really worth it for the consumer to go out and rent one of these devices.

One example of this type of service is the GyPSy Okanagan Wine Tour in British Columbia, Canada. You can rent a GPS device pre-programmed with a tour of the Okanagan Wine Making District. The guided tour has audio prompts that tell you (more…)

So you’ve thought about making your own GPS? Nowadays such a feat of electronic genius can be done much easier than you think.

The guys over at MAKE Magazine put together a little video on how to do it from easily available parts.

Pretty awesome hey? You can buy all the parts that you need to make one of these beautiful, ergonomic wonders from the Parallax Online Store.

You’ll need the following:

 
That give you a grand total of $211.85! WOW!!! Makes you want to go out there and build one of these low function, unfinished devices doesn’t it?

If you want a functional GPS unit building one is not for you. You can get them pretty cheap these days and you’ll get a lot more functionality out of it - but if you’re just looking to play and explore your love for electronic gadgets then this might be for you.

It’s a great project if you’re into that sort of stuff. I’m 103.5% geek so I already have my own Board of Education from Parallax. I also have a couple of projects that are in continuous development stage too. Don’t forget that if you buy in bulk Parallax will give you a couple dollar break on the bucks you’re going to fork over for parts - what a great Christmas or Birthday present for all those you love!

Step back for a moment and drag that GPS device into your house. You can give it a little operation and change the voice into one that’s (more…)

It really hurts me to think that people use their GPS just to go back and forth to work everyday or to find the closest Starbucks Coffee shop. What a terrible waste of technology that kind of usage is.

If you have a GPS you just have to use it to explore more than your own backyard, to mark your house as a waypoint or your girlfriend’s place as a point of interest on the map. Take that girl on a cruise or go to Hawaii with her and show her how you can justify having such powerful technology in the palm of your hand.

If you own a GPS device there’s a great way that you can help the world and have some fun doing it too.

There’s still a lot of roads out there in the world that aren’t easily available on the internet these days and you can help get them available. You’d think that having all the roads in the world mapped and available on the internet is something that just happens by itself but it seems to not be the case.
