ALK Technologies' CoPilot Navigator 9 GPS

Gone are the days of sitting precariously on the shoulder of a roadway shuffling a map around, trying to figure out where you are and where you need to go. Americans live in a high-tech world where all kinds of nifty electronic GPS gadgets make life simpler. GPS devices operate by triangulating on signals provided by Uncle Sam from Global Positioning Satellites placed in geo-synchronous orbit in space. The devices are able to take the signal from several satellites and make one simple discovery, where the receiver is on the earth, plotted by latitude and longitude. The fun part comes when a GPS device is able to couple where it is with a map that shows where everything else on the planet is and plot according to precise maps how to get from point A to point B. This is the genius of GPS. One exceptional offering that does just that and much more from ALK Technologies is CoPilot Navigator 9.


With computing power what it is these days and detailed electronic maps so readily available it's no wonder GPS is so popular. High-end autos often come with the systems built in-for a price. Hand-held devices can be bought with all kinds of bells and whistles. CoPilot Navigator 9 is one of several GPS products ALK offers. What sets Navigator 9 apart from most GPS devices, even those offered by ALK, is its price and flexibility. Navigator 9 is designed as a peripheral rather than a stand-alone system. Coupled with a notebook computer, it becomes one of the most powerful navigation systems on the market.
