GPS Navigation Anyone? GPS导航的人呢？ It’s Finally Time 它的最后时间

I’ve always been an early adopter when it comes to technology.我总是一直是早期采用者，当谈到技术。 At least until I realized how much money I was spending and became a dedicated investor and saver a few years ago.至少直到我意识到了多少钱，我的开支，并成为一个专门的投资者和程序，几年前。 I still love new technology, but try to wait a little longer before trying a new product.我仍然爱新技术，新尝试，但要等待长一点，然后尝试一种新产品。 That’s what I did with GPS, but now it’s time to think about getting a unit for the car.这就是我所做的与全球定位系统，但现在的时间想一想，获得一个单位为汽车。 GPS navigation has finally gained widespread adoption and is hitting the mainstream much like computers about 10-15 years ago. GPS导航，终于获得了广泛采用，是打主流很像电脑约10-15年前。 Oh… what is GPS?哦…什么是GPS ？ Well, GPS stands for Global Positioning System :以及，全球定位系统的立场，为全球定位系统：

“The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a US space-based radionavigation system that provides reliable positioning, navigation, and timing services to civilian users on a continuous worldwide basis — freely available to all. “全球定位系统（ GPS ）是美国的空间为基础的无线电导航系统，提供了可靠的定位，导航和定时服务，以供民间用户对连续世界范围基础上-免费提供给所有。 For anyone with a GPS receiver, the system will provide location and time.对于任何一个GPS接收机，该系统将提供的地点和时间。 GPS provides accurate location and time information for an unlimited number of people in all weather, day and night, anywhere in the world.”全球定位系统提供精确的位置和时间信息，为无限数量的人在所有的天气，日夜奋战，在世界上任何地方“ 。

I like the free part… just buy a GPS device and you get pinpoint navigation whenever you want!我喜欢自由的一部分， …只需购买一全球卫星定位系统装置和你找准导航，每当你想！

Many folks think the adoption and use of GPS is much more widespread, which it is among commercial users worldwide (Thanks to the USA!).许多乡亲认为，采纳和使用全球定位系统是更为普遍，它是数一数二的商业世界各地的用户（感谢美国的！）。 But millions of people across the world haven’t even considered using GPS until recently.但以百万计的人在世界各地甚至没有考虑过使用全球定位系统，直到最近。 The leading US gps navigation manufacturer is Garmin with a 56% market share according to ChangeWave Research .美国领先的GPS导航制造商是高明与56 ％的市场份额，据changewave研究。 That’sa huge percentage among worldwide competition, and Garmin appears to have some cool products coming in the future. that'sa占很大比重之间的全球竞争，和Garmin似乎有一些很酷的产品未来在未来的。

Garmin ( GRMN ) may be a great company to invest in as well, although the stock price has been hit pretty hard lately after huge gains last year.高明（ grmn ）可能是一家伟大的公司投资，以及在，虽然股票价格已达到相当困难，最近后，巨大收益去年。 Almost a 60% drop, but I suspect it will do pretty well next year.几乎60 ％的下降，但我怀疑它会做的相当好明年。 Another Apple in the making?另一个苹果，在决策？ Could be, at least for a few years.可以，至少在几年。 But the stock is hugely volatile… not an investment for the faint of heart.但股市是巨大的动荡…不是一个投资为微弱的心脏。

But with products like Garmin’s cool Nuvi line of navigation devices但随着产品，如高明的冷静nuvi路线导航装置 , people really like what they see. ，人们真的很喜欢他们所看到的。 I used to own a Garmin product about 8 years ago.我曾经拥有一个高明的产品约8年前。 It was a small portable gps that I used for outdoor recreation such as hiking.这是一个小型便携式全球定位系统，我用于户外康乐活动如远足。 It was pretty neat but not nearly as intuitive and user-friendly as the products out now.这是相当整齐，但不近，作为直观和用户友好的，因为现在的产品。 I’ve held off purchasing another one while these products matured but I think it’s finally time.我已经举行过购买另一位虽然这些产品的成熟，但我认为它的最后时间。

So I’m going to purchase an “in-car” navigation device in the next few weeks.所以我要去购买一“在车”的导航设备在未来几个星期内。 Why now?为什么现在呢？ Two reasons:原因有两个：

1. 1 。 To save time and money!为了节省时间和金钱！ Which is often the same thing…这往往是同一件事…

2. 2 。 For a summer travel vacation around the country为夏季旅游度假全国各地

But think about it… the less time we spend driving from point A to point B, the less gas we use.但想想它…少花时间，我们驾驶从A点到B点，少气，我们使用。 Big “duh” right? “大杜昌”的权利？ But really, how many times have you driven somewhere and made the wrong turn, or needed to go a different way for something?但说真的，您有多少次推动的地方，并作出了错误的转，或需要去不同的方式为一些？ With the cost of fuel prices these days, if you drive a car for your job you almost can’t be without one of these devices now.与燃料成本的价格这些天来，如果你开车，为您的工作，你几乎可以不无之一，这些设备现在。 For someone doing a lot of driving to new places, a gps unit could save a lot of money in both fuel costs, and in terms of time.有人做了很多驾驶的新地方，一个全球定位系统可节省了很多钱，在双方的燃料成本，并在条款的时间。

I like the axiom “Time is money.” If a gps unit helps me save gas and time, then it will probably pay for itself within the year.我喜欢公理“时间就是金钱” ，如果一个全球定位系统可以帮助我节省燃气及时间，那么可能会支付本身内部的一年。 More than that, the units they have out now are kind of fun and for a family- it makes traveling a little safer and more secure… you know you’ll get where you want to go.更有什者，单位，他们现在是种乐趣，并为家庭它使旅行有点更安全和更有保障… ，你知道你将得到你想要去的地方。
