Alternative GPS uses

We're all used to the ubiquitous in-car GPS system. But what else can you track using a GPS? It stands to reason that if you can track a moving car, you can track a moving anything; from your pet pooch to your child. So where else could you put a GPS receiver that would prove useful? The list below gives some examples of unusual places that you find GPS technology today:

Golf GPS - They've been around for a while now, but golf GPS systems are improving with every swing. Taking the guesswork out of working out how far it is to the hole, these clever devices will tell you how far you hit the ball, where the hazards are and much more.

Farming – Ok, so you probably won't be rushing out to buy one of these tomorrow. But GPS systems in farm machinery are helping farmers plough a more accurate furrow, and scythe more hay while the sun shines.

Luggage - If you've ever had an airline lose your luggage, these seem like an invaluable idea. GPS systems that are placed in your bags, and if you're unfortunate enough to lose a bag, then you can track its whereabouts and recover it again.

Pets and Kids - More or less the same thing as far as GPS technologies go. They both like to run off when your back is turned. Whilst putting a collar around your child’s neck may seem appealing, those devices are best left for the dogs. Kids, meanwhile can be monitored with handy key rings, or some slightly bulkier versions for bags or belts.

Shoes – These could be used to track your active independent kids or your elderly dementia riddled parents. Make sure your kids don’t go wandering aimlessly and your parents don’t hang around malls. Shoes with GPS help the tracker watch where the trackee goes.

Lingerie – It’s time for women to take control. The designer in this article believes that she can entice men to find her by putting a GPS into her lingerie line.
