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. This week’s featured image is from a new app that uses pictures to direct users through complicated buildings. This week also had some pretty killer Cyber sales, but those are pretty well over by now. Here’s what else is going on in the GPS world… read more
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. And maybe, just maybe, a string of pictures is worth more than a map when trying to navigate indoors. At least, that’s the thought behind a new app platform developed by Ziiio. This wayfinding app takes interior navigation down a different route that, to me, seems like it will be bit more useful in complicated buildings like hospitals or conference centers.
Using Bluetooth technology placed in hallways throughout the select building, the app is able to tell where the phone is and compare it to where the user wants to go. Then, using real pictures of hallways, the app will give literal turn by turn directions to any location inside that building. It doesn’t involve GPS, WiFi or any new technology and it’s so simple, I think it’s genius. read more
Cyber Week is half over, so I hope most of you have finished all of the electronics shopping. Just as a reminder, Garmin’s cyber deals are going to end today at 11:59 p.m. CST so if you wanted to purchase something on sale, this is the time!
The deal that really caught my attention was the Nuvi Lifetime Map subscription for $40 (normally priced at $90). If you purchased an older unit that doesn’t have lifetime maps, this is an excellent deal that will easily triple the life of your existing unit. I highly recommend it.
Here are some other deals from Garmin that will be ending today: read more

While online shopping during cyber week isn’t quite as dangerous as Black Friday shopping seems to be, there are still things to look out for to make the shopping successful. While I know this isn’t the normal kind of article that we feature here on GPSTracklog, with all of the upcoming holiday deals on otherwise expensive units, I thought I’d share with you some of my secrets for getting the most out of Cyber Monday sales:
We hope you’re having an excellent Thanksgiving today, full of all the best food, fun parades, family memories and football you could possibly want. Take a breath and relax today, because tomorrow, the Black Friday shopping insanity starts!

While Black Friday is one of the best times to purchase otherwise expensive electronics like GPS units, I normally can’t stand the rush and the crowds. Even with the phoenominal sales, it usually just isn’t worth the insane rush and the rude people.
If you’re anything like me, then why not check out these fantastic pre-Black Friday (or, more accurately, pre-Cyber Monday) sales that are going on right now? read more
