GPS systems have been available for private aviation and marine
uses for a number of years. There are some systems for use
in land vehicles coming on the market now. (I just saw an announcement
for a Sony system for a bit over $1000.) And there are reports of
versions small enough to be carried hiking that will be out in a
year or two.
