Short Review on cobra gps
GPS has progressed far past its opening military application. Drivers can find their way through city streets, long reserve trekkers use the technology to navigate unfamiliar terrain, mariners and pilots use GPS enhanced data to annoy the seas and skies.
Get a great new motorcycle gps unit.
When first turned on, a GPS receiver starts listening for satellite signals. On the "satellite display" here, the numbered satellites appear somewhere in the sky. The middle of the diagram is directly overhead, and the smaller circle is halfway up (45 degrees). The horizon is the large circle with four compass points: N, S, E, W. Signal strength is also shown for each satellite.
Normally, marine GPS systems are used by the Coast Guard to keep track of ships as they move along the coastlines. This will give them an idea of the direction in which a vessel is heading. They may be able to communicate with the vessel and provide precise information regarding its current position and directions to take to get to its destination.

Lots of interesting articles from today's PC World. First up, Microsoft Takes on MapQuest: "MSN launches MapPoint online mapping service, offering maps, directions, and more."
Apparently this is going to be yet another component of MS' push for .Net services with hooks into other MSN services. MapPoint is XML-based, which makes it interesting in other ways, and there it launches with a phone-based direction service. The articles notes that this is another step towards location-based services. "For example, you might someday be able to click on a Windows Messenger buddy's name and retrieve a map showing the location of his or her home."
Good or bad? You make the call. I like parts of this, but I'm incredibly wary of .Net.
