It seems even snowball fights aren’t beyond the occasional upgrade or two. As part of the 2010 ACM ICPC competition, a challenge was issued to all programming teams from around the world to fight it out with snowballs. The race was on to program the smartest way to beat the opposition with snowballs.
Snowball fights can get ugly especially when there are bragging rights at stake. Fortunately, no one brought a gun to the fight but when you’ve got the smartest programmers in the world scrapping it out, you know they’ll be bringing their A-game to the table.
So how do you win a snowball fight? Speed and agility are important. Reading the play, ducking, diving, weaving and guessing your opponents next move are also vital aspects to staying alive and avoid wearing a snowball in the face. Snow forts are also permitted as part of a defensive strategy, so you can weather the enemy’s counter-strike.
In previous posts we talked about the basics of what GPS is and how it works, as well as how a GPS device can be connected or disconnected. Knowing more about how GPS works can help you make the right choice when choosing the best GPS system.

So before you start looking at getting a Garmin, TomTom or a Magellan, you need to be clear about what you need your GPS tracking system to do. And with most of the talk on the internet about personal or in-car GPS devices, it can be easy to overlook other systems such as fleet management software or GPS people tracking.

By knowing the problem you want to solve, you’re in a much better position to find the best GPS navigation system, and will get far greater value from it.
Let’s consider the different types of GPS navigation systems available.
