Do you think back on the days when a cellular phone was only a cellular phone? You drew it out of your bag or pocket to call someone and that was about it. At present, your cellular telephone has a camera, it sends text messages, stores music, it is your personal organizer, has games, and even works as your global positioning system.

I am not talking about the Global Positioning System chip integrated into all the latest mobile phones. that global positioning system is only present to allow emergency crews to know your position in case of an emergency (the same manner that your land line will disclose your position).

I am discussing modern smart cell phones that in reality incorporate new Global Positioning System gimmicks, allowing you to get voice directed driving instructions, travel planning, toll road dodging, and at present, even real time-traffic data that will notify you to reroute to stave off heavy over-crowding. And for the cellular telephone purist, these modern phones can even dial and get phone calls! And just like different modern global positioning systems you will have an immense database with details of interest. Want to know where the nearest filling station is? My pleasure.

You are also able to find the closest eating place, cinema, and even a parking service department - which is particularly helpful if you are in a foreign city. And if you are by some chance in a place where you do not have an elaborate map - don't mention it - this Is not only a global positioning system unit, it is an intelligent Phone so you will be able to download the map you want. The new smart phone global positioning system gimmicks can easily substitute for your in-car navigation system.

Besides more practical applications, global positioning system will make an informative and entertaining gift for your beloved and friends too. Here I will give only two out of many creative and informative uses of global positioning system:

1. Stay physically busy and fit by practicing Ray Gun! A location based cellular phone game supported by Global Positioning System technology.

2. Get more civilized, make worldwide friends, and find out about the world playing GeoCache, a Global Positioning System supported treasure hunt.

With a lot of low-cost feature-rich models to fulfill anyone's preferences and demands, now is as good of a time as ever to learn more about global positioning system technologies.

This is, of course, just another landmark step in the ever developing world of cellular phones. Soon modern cellular phones will have global positioning system navigation technology built in and probably additional features you have never even thought of before.
