On this date in 1520, Ferdinand Magellan reached the Pacific Ocean. Of course he had no idea where he really was because, well, it was 1520. Global positioning via satellite was nearly 500 years into the future. So, Ferdinand relied on the stars.
Little did he know that just under five centuries after his first glimpse of the Pacific I would be using my GPS to see how many minutes I live from Trader Joe's. Ha! I'll bet he didn't even live near a Trader Joe's.
Wanna buy a GPS? Ferdinand's namesake is not the only one out there - I recommend the Garmin. Unlike many of the competitors, Garmin goes the extra mile (no pun intended) and dumps you off on the correct side of the street. That way you won't get to your destination, only to be mowed down by someone while you cross the street to enjoy your soiree.

I have been working as a Network Engineer over the firm which are presently dealing with the satellite communication. And I tried my GPS Service on GPS handset. Its really an awesome work with Satellite communication. You can interact with the map service roads etc…
