2011 Contributors of the year?

As the year is coming to an end I was wondering JM if you'll be letting the community pick a candidate as we did last year. It's a great idea, was successful last year and certainly hope we can all go to the polls once again and voice our opinion mrgreen

Yes, a GPS device is still a good gift idea!

Finally a tech site stands up in defense of the PND.

GPS hack responsible for US drone capture in IRAQ

GPS signals were spoofed with false coordinates and our drone happily landed where they wanted it to.

Easiest Way to get Lattitude and Longitude from Google Maps

1. Browse to Google Maps and include the place you want coordinates for

2. Right-click on the exact spot on the map you want the lat & long for and select "What's Here"

The page title and the search box will change to that location's latitude and longitude.

That's it! smile

"LightSquared Is Doomed"

First Android Dedicated GPS Unit

I guess this should not go in the smartphone forum since it is Android but does not have a phone. The website has lots of "Coming soon" and "Check this space for more information" so it looks a ways from full production.
