Random thoughts by me To start off, I will first list my GPS hardware information. I currently have a Garmin Streetpilot GPS receiver, USA and Canada Metroguide software, Garmin padded carrying case, and 16MB memory module. The receiver comes with a serial cable to load the software from your PC. and a cigarette lighter power cable to preserve your batteries. What is all this stuff you ask? Well, the receiver is the thing that is used to triangulate your position on the globe by taking measurements from up to 12 satellites. With the software, you can load in different maps to provide street level detail for areas that you will be traveling in. The 16MB memory module sits inside the receiver and provides a storage area for the maps from the software. And the carrying case is, well, a carrying case. How does GPS work? GPS stands for Global Positioning System. This allows a person to find any particular point on the global by using a set of coordinates (Latitude and Longitude). It uses a series of satellites that are constantly circling the earth to triangulate your position. Once your receiver has a lock on at least three satellites, your position can be triangulated to within 3 meters (~ 10 feet) of your exact location. Most receivers have what is called a 12 channel parallel antenna. This allows the receiver to get a "lock" on up to 12 satellites.

The building and the keeping of the lights is a picturesque and humanitarian work of the nation." His sentiments surely echo those of countless sailors, who for centuries have relied on the guidance of lighthouses. In fact, lighthouses have proven to be such a popular icon with the American public in general that the U.S. Postal Service is once again singing their praises.'
