I was trying to figure out the benefit of being part of LinkedIn social network, but instead of figuring it out I wanted to try it and see if there is really any benefit at all for being linkedin into the community of business professionals like myself.

Here my GPS LinkedIn account and if any one interested in linking up with me, you are very welcome as long as you have to do something with GPS technologies.

I also created LinkedIn group where we can communicate using familiar interface if you are LinkedIn user. Please Join my LinkedIn Group for GPS FAQ.

I am a big fan of furthering education in the fields of GPS and GIS. I was looking around at different colleges around the country who offer this program and recently found this video presentation that is really valuable for anyone who wants to start study in the field of GPS/GIS applications and science.

In case you want to see all of the videos that I am planning to upload or select for individual watching you may visit my YouTube page at GPS YouTube

We started on another social network site called Joost and we are very much glad that social network is now part of our life.

For the past several days we have been setting up our social network presence across many different web 2.0 networks and sure with the wealth of information and expert opinion on everything GPS will be able to contribute to the society.

Visit us at Joost and become our friend.

I was looking around and saw several sites about GSP that have some sort of deal with BoardReader which is search engines for forum messages. I tried to register webstie with them just like I did with google.com search, but I am not sure if it is a good idea after all. Their sites looks kind of badly designed.

I was looking around web and found this little post about Top 10 GPS Devices which is quite complete in my point of view. It presents Top GPS Devices in each category and does good job and providing information. We count on Consumer Report for Top 10 and we'll provide our own subjective input into what we think about their top 10 and it is biased in any way.

Top 10

I agree for the most part with the rating presented on this site, but I disagree on the location of each GSP Device within this list. I think Garmin GPS Devices should take position 1 to 6 and then all others.

• Garmin Nuvi 760 priced at around $600.00
• Garmin Nuvi 660 priced at around $500.00
• Magellan Maestro 4250 priced at around $400.00
• TomTom Go 720 priced at around $400.00

It has been only one week but I am already into Blogging. It is very contagious task. More I read about it, more I want to explore it and use it.

For instance, I found out that in order to become a popular blogger you need to make sure that your blog can be easily added to many sites that ptomote blogging. Here is just a short list of such sites that I want to share.

• NetVibes
• Bloglines
• Technorati
• MyBlogLog
• BlogCatalog
• Wikio

There is another way of blogging which is hosting your blog away from your site. I agree that for many people this is a good option, but why would I have something like Twitter Blog if I can have my own on my site.

Navman released new GPS device that is promoted as next iPod killer device. It has built in portable media player with useful features and friendliness.

It is 13.5 mm model and comes with aluminum casing. Another useful feature of this device and its sliding touch screen just like iPod screen but a little bit bigger with 4.3 inch wide.

Navman S100 has good imaging capabilities with 3D Maps and over one million GPS ready images from photo sharing sites.

Navman S100 is a good competitor for iPod or even iPhone but its primary competitor is Garmin Nuviphone that will be released later this year.

Garmin just released new next generation handheld GPS device called Oregon 400t. It is loaded with 3D maps and has altimeter, compass and all other standard features that you may find in all other GPS handhelds.

Oregon 400t is 3 inch in diagonal with touchscreen display. One of the main features that Oregon 400t poses is its durability and toughness. It is designed to be waterproof, sand and dirt resistant. It’s another nice device from Garmin.

Garmin tried to come up with something that will set it apart from its main competition such as TomTom and Magellan and Garmin’s Oregon 400t is such a device in the handheld market niche. We’ll be publishing detailed specs and review on our main section of the site and you’ll be able to find this device under Garmin GPS Review section of our site.
