+n8aho Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 What would be some features of your dream GPS? I for one would like to see the serial interface go away. I suggest "bluetooth" instead or some other wireless interface. If your like me you are constantly swaping cables on the back of your PC. How about some kind of a color "heads up display" you wear like glasses? I Guess I want to much? j. massillon ohio stark county skywarn packet radio, aprs long haul 802.11b, warchalking linux, os x geocaching geodashing gps art recumbent bikes extreme kites Quote Link to comment
xsintrik Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 A miniature gyroscope or similar situational awareness sensors that can plot your position when you do not have satelite lock. This way when you are under dense tree canopy or inside of a building, the GPS can still provide you with a position. "No Comment" Quote Link to comment
+brdad Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 One that can verbally tell me which way to go and when I need to be there. Oh wait, I was married to one of those once - annoying, dumb feature, cancel that thought. Other neat features: Electronic pest repeller Alarm clock LED Flashlight Laser Pointer Feature to automatically log a waypoint when it leaves vehicle (for us that keep forgetting) Memo voice recorder Writing untensil Electronic fire starter FM radio Call it the Swiss Army GPSr Never date a girl whose father calls her princess - chances are she beleives it.
