More than just trilateration ...

In the evolution of MobiPorter's solutions portfolio - the latest entrant announced is GPS.

How does GPS work?  Here's a nice explanation.

So, other than finding a location of your favorite car, or restaurant or something, what other types of solutions could GPS factor in?

Here's a partial list - some collated and some original ideas.

GPS family of solutions
-- Tour / audio guides
-- Treasure hunt
-- Logistics co-ordination / asset location / attendance systems
-- fleet management
-- early and best response management systems
-- route-auditing -- see where someone has been
-- geo-coding / geo-tagging - e.g. highlight location of delivery of goods.
-- geo-fencing -- boundary management
-- route optimization
-- location-based advertising
-- location-based loyalty programs
-- crazy idea - point of sale solutions for a car -- literally driving away with a car!
