Free GIS Data GeoBlog

Cutting edge GPS? I saw a press release today for UNS Infotainment, a new GPS receiver from a Dubai company. A couple of things caught my eye. For one, according to the press release, "UNS Infotainment(TM) will be rolled out to other GCC countries in the coming months. Plans are also underway for expansion to UK, Europe and North America market by early 2007." But it was the feature list that really got me: Lane level accuracy.
