FoxTrax GPS Tracking

A GPS Technology Field Guide

We know GPS stands for Global Positioning System. But apparently it also stands for a lot of other things. So, courtesy of Google, here are a few of the other GPSes you might run across when searching the Internet.

The term ?GPS? spans the world to cover many things.

In education, there?s the Georgia Performance Standards that ?provide clear expectations for instruction, assessment, and student work.? GPS Schools is an association of private boys' schools in New South Wales. Australia also has the Great Public Schools Association of Queensland Inc. There's the Greenvale Primary School, Arizona's Gilbert Public Schools, Chattanooga's Girls Preparatory School, and, for you John Cusack fans, Michigan's Grosse Pointe South High School.

GPS is the abbreviation for Fareed Zakaria's Global Public Square show on CNN or a GPS could be a Gunner's Primary Sight on an M1 Tank. There's an English Progressive Rock band GPS, which is derived from the last names of the three principal musicians: Govan, Payne, and Schellen.

GPS also stands for GNAT Programming Studio, a programming development environment (IDE). Wait, GPS is a GNAT IDE? OMG!

Then there's Generalized Processor Sharing, a theoretical communications discipline that isn't actually possible. And speaking of not-quite-useful applications, there's the General Problem Solver GPS, a computer program designed to systematically solve puzzles like the Towers of Hanoi or find chess solutions. It turned out to be incapable to handling real world problems, but it eventually paved the way for future programs.

"gps" is a linux command, and GPs is often used to abbreviate "Gold Pieces" used as currency in some older video games.

While all of these GPSes are important in their own way, it is only a managed Global Positions System GPS tracking system that can help you keep track of your fleet at all times. And FoxTrax is your best choice. Contact us for more information on how this GPS can work for your company.
