Most people think of GPS technology as something that helps them find their way through an unfamiliar city. While GPS systems in automobiles have undoubtedly assisted those who frequently get lost, there are countless other purposes that GPS systems serve, and some of them are more than just a little surprising. Though there is a great deal that GPS can do, the technology is not yet advanced to the point that it is capable of translating foreign languages. That is still an area of expertise that All Language Alliance, Inc., will thankfully remain in charge of.
One of the most interesting uses of GPS technology relates to its use in the Everglades in South Florida. It is widely known that Burmese pythons have made the Everglades their home and wreaked havoc on the delicate ecosystem for years.
Researchers have now equipped many of these invasive predators with GPS so they can follow their movements and develop a better understanding of their habits so that they are easier to round up and eliminate before their presence results in the elimination of endangered species found only in the Everglades. GPS can therefore be important in everything from assisting with driving directions to preserving biodiversity.
