Yes, yes, the title screams of newby to the blogosphere, and well it is true – this is my first blog posting, and yes, I did use a template.
Why a(nother) blog?
‘I can’t get my head around this whole GPS thing.’
Most people.
Many people I meet find ‘this whole GPS thing’ overwhelming especially as they have very little clue what ‘it’ actually is beyond a ‘couple of satellites up there’. GPS is not just the that powers your satnav device, reassures you with a blue dot on Google Maps, or let you hungrily track the delivery driver bring your family-size triple cheese and pepperoni pizza. Its reach and impact on our daily lives goes further. A lot further. A country mile further. That made me think there is an opportunity here…..
Making GPS/GNSS resources more accessible
So my goal with this blog is to share my observations and insights about the complex GNSS positioning activities going on around us which impact our lives – directly and indirectly, openly and discretely. It will have:
- some links to useful resources on what GPS is (as well as GNSS),
- links to the main GNSS players in different industries, and
- a few up and coming startups doing amazing things in and for positioning.
Helping you ‘get GPS’
Whilst my (longwinded) corporate motto is ‘Empowering Organisations with the best insights around GPS / GNSS / RTK positioning solutions and technologies for today’s location-driven world’, I hope this blog will help you ‘get GPS’. To better understand is being done to give you ‘your location’ faster, more accurately and more reliably.
Wonderings and wanderings, ramblings and ruminations
Along the way, I plan to share some other things that interest me (the Categories in the blog might give this away) such as:
- Technology – GNSS, new inventions and gadgets
- Space and Spatial – satellites and their sensors, all things measurement and geospatial
- Travel – flying, exploring
- Fun stuffs – craft beer, LEGO
Let’s Go!
Thanks for joining me on this journey to keep track of GPS and how it is affecting our world today and tomorrow – Let’s Go!
