Pricing, an important consideration for most people, runs the gamut in the GPS market, starting at about $200 for your basic system and topping out at more than $1500 for a full-featured model. Many low-price units have small screens, and don't include pre-loaded maps�you have to load them onto a memory card yourself. Those who can afford to splurge on a higher-end device will get bigger screens, a more powerful GPS receiver, such as the aforementioned SiRF Star III, as well as Bluetooth capabilities, and multimedia features. These pricey devices also include preloaded maps of the U.S. and surrounding areas, as well as large, searchable POI databases, the largest of which exceed 6 million listings.

Three satellites impart the intersection spit and a fourth is used to limit that the positioning is accurate. Accuracy depends on the synchronization of automatic clocks in the satellites with the regulator in the GPS system. Though the regulator in the GPS is not automatic, utilizing the fourth satellite gives it that ability as the domestic regulator adjusts itself to amend any discrepancy discovered.

Lots of interesting articles from today's PC World. First up, Microsoft Takes on MapQuest: "MSN launches MapPoint online mapping service, offering maps, directions, and more."

Apparently this is going to be yet another component of MS' push for .Net services with hooks into other MSN services. MapPoint is XML-based, which makes it interesting in other ways, and there it launches with a phone-based direction service. The articles notes that this is another step towards location-based services. "For example, you might someday be able to click on a Windows Messenger buddy's name and retrieve a map showing the location of his or her home."

Good or bad? You make the call. I like parts of this, but I'm incredibly wary of .Net.
