This week in GPS is a weekly link roundup of (mostly) GPS related odds and ends, from GPS Tracklog and other places around the Web. I have included some articles from last week, as I didn’t get a chance to do a recap. This week’s picture is for an upcoming article explaining a new partnership and how it may change things.
