It was coming, sooner or later. With the increasingly smaller world made possible by the technology of cellphones and the Internet, it was a matter of time before all the streets, highways and points of interests in a major country will end up in one small neat battery powered package. GPS devices are becoming more and more a staple, part and parcel of American life at a rate that would stun even the most battled-scarred technology marketeer and evangelist. People are up and about using their handheld or in-car GPS devices for a variety of purposes, from getting safely and surely from point A to point B to scouting for specialty restaurants in their city.

Talk about innovating on a concept that has been bugging humankind since time immemorial! But purists might be asking, what about those days of simply driving around some vaguely familiar neighborhood grubbing around for some cozy place to dine?! Or, the sure fire one: parking and getting out of the car to rub shoulders with locals and asking for directions or suggestions? GPS devices are reinventing this tiny portion of American life, just as cell phones did some ten years ago. The reasons are as diverse as the GPS brands and models themselves, right up to the forms; some GPS devices refuse to just be trite and mediocre handhelds.

If you need to find cell phone user’s particular location (even if it’s your own), you can use GPS. GPS stands for “global positioning system,” and it was originally developed by the United States Department of Defense for their use. GPS uses a GPS receiver; the receiver calculates the user’s position by precisely timing signals that are being sent by GPS satellites that are in orbit above the earth.

Increasingly, cell phone handsets include GPS as one of their functions. However, some older handsets don’t have this function, and it can be difficult to find users by location. One way around this, is by using cell phone towers to find a particular cell phone user.

You can do this by using a process called “triangulation.” It uses the cell towers that cell phones, GSM terminals, and GSM modems to use. In fact, iPhones use WiFi data and the triangulation method to locate iPhone users on Google maps (along with GPS on the newer 3G handsets).

There are also commercial locating services such as FollowUs; with these, you pay to locate handsets that don’t already have GPS included. If you are a developer, you can also use commercial services such as Skyhook and Navizon.
