Traveling

Countries I have visited

Learning different languages, customs, and foods are a real treat.

Getting lost is NOT.

After visiting all the above countries, Now I discover GPS! jeezzz.

GPS (or GPSr) is a small electronic device that receives signals from the available 24 satellite system in space.

• From the signals the GPS can display:
  • Where you are on earth
  • Direction of travel
  • Speed
  • Altitude
  • And alot more..
  • Some display a electronic map
