The fastcompany website has an article "The Sky's the Limit" which talks about business uses of GPS. Since I grew up on a farm, I found the section able farm use very interesting.

Very interesting. What caught my eye was the driver's share of $450 for driving all night. Where do I send my resume?

No doubt, I've been looking for work long enough that looked pretty good to me as well. Enough to make me think seriously about upgrading my drivers license...

Hmm...imagine how many caches I could locate while travelling out of town! (But boss! I was just following the GPS!)

Geocaching is like Pokemon for grown-ups. "Gotta cache 'em all!"

Yeah, I thought how cool it would be to get paid to drive to other states and then do some caching when you get there, but then I thought that the company is probably not going to afford you time to do that if you are on a "priority" run.

GPS is definately becoming mainstream. I talked with my UPS driver today and he said that GPS is going to be put into each delivery truck very soon. They will be able to tell where he is at every moment. Guess that kills his 'knock-off' time loafing behind the tree at ..(location withheld at his request ).

I saw the headline and read the article on CNN, knowing it had to be GPS. Then when I read

quote:

---

Tullberg was speaking from an ISTRO conference of 220 world scientists in Brisbane, which this week showcased Australian technology for satellite-guided field equipment to an accuracy of two centimeters, or less than an inch.

I thought man they build good a GPS. Then I read

quote:

---

About 500 tractors have been equipped with satellite guidance systems in Australia, about the same number as in the United States, despite the extra cost of up to A$50,000 ($32,500)

Ok for a cost of $32,500 you can get a GPS accurate to less than an inch. I think I will wait for the prices to go down before I get one to geocache with.

Problem would be that you would be looking for geocaches with a reciever that is accurate to 2cm while the rest of us would be placing them using recievers that would only be as accurate as 10-20 feet.

Yea, but at least when you hunted caches I hid, you would know the cooridinates were accurate. But they could only be hidden in places a tractor could go.

That would be ok, as long as you took the right tractor road!
