GPS stands for "Global Positioning System", a world wide, satellite based navigation system. It is operated by the U.S army and may be used by anybody for free. However, the accuracy of the position may vary depending on the location. The signals of the GPS satellites pervade glass or plastic, but not solid materials such as walls or metal. Therefore, GPS devices work fine outdoors or in vehicles, but not in buildings or under water. However, receiption may be disturbed in vehicles with coated windows or if there are wires in the glass. Some GPS devices have a connector for an external antenna that can be fixed outside the car to improve receiption.
The accuracy of the position indication is typically between 5 and 10 meters (15 and 30 feet). Before May 2000, the accuracy was lowered by intention. This disturbance - known as "selective availablility" (SA) - was turned off on the orders of the former president Bill Clinton, see satellite based positioning system is now available at its full potential ! (However, the SA is still active in a few countries and therefore, the accuracy not as good as possible in these areas).
Various car manufacturers already provide GPS based navigation tools. Usually these devices are connected to the audio system of the car, therefore they cannot be used stand-alone.
But there are also GPS devices available as PCMCIA or CF cards or with a serial or USB interface (see above). With such a device, any PC - and even more important - any notebook or PDA with at least a slot for a type II PCMCIA or a Compact Flash card or a serial or USB interface, can be turned into a mobile navigation system.
